Li Ka-shing Keeps $23 Billion Ask for Ports Despite Panama Loss

Li Ka-shing’s CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd. expects to sell its global ports portfolio for its original $22.8 billion value, even after losing two Panama terminals. The proposed sale of global ports to a buyer consortium that includes US investment firm BlackRock Inc. was expected to net CK Hutchison more than $19 billion in cash. The price of the remaining ports is seen to have risen enough to offset the loss of the Panama facilities, as buyers view them as logistical assets generating stable income in a time of increasing geopolitical conflict.

  • CK Hutchison Holdings is maintaining its $22.8 billion valuation for its global ports portfolio despite losing two terminals in Panama.
  • The sale to a consortium including BlackRock is proceeding, with buyers viewing the remaining ports as stable income-generating assets amidst geopolitical tensions.
  • The deal faces significant regulatory hurdles and geopolitical complexities, particularly concerning US-China rivalry and Panama's invalidated contract.
