Palliser Capital Presents Recommendations to Unlock Value and Catalyze Growth at Samsung C&T
Palliser highlights US$25BN of intrinsic value to be unlocked at Samsung C&T, a potential share price upside of up to 170%
Palliser unveils value-enhancing recommendations at Sohn London conference
The recommendations highlighted by Palliser during the presentation to remove the SCT Value Gap and catalyze growth include:
1. Adopting a disciplined and return-oriented capital allocation framework that directs capital to the best opportunities available to SCT, while delivering a fair return for shareholders;
2. Improving governance and transparency to rebuild investor trust, optimize decision-making, and ensure SCT’s assets and investment plans are properly understood and valued by the market; and
3. Reducing structural inefficiencies through a transparent review of transitioning Samsung Group’s complex group structure to a holding company structure to reduce multiple group-wide inefficiencies.
Palliser Founder and CIO James Smith said:
“Palliser’s team benefits from a deep history as long-standing investors in Samsung C&T dating back over a decade, and, as such, we have a great understanding and appreciation for the Company and its high-quality assets. Unfortunately, SCT is trading at a deep discount, signaling investor concerns over capital investment and value creation, despite good underlying fundamentals. We believe our comprehensive yet practical value enhancement recommendations, if implemented, will enable the Company to significantly narrow, if not remove, this discount and realize its intrinsic value while simultaneously driving long-term growth. We look forward to a productive and collaborative engagement with SCT’s Board and management to achieve positive change for the Company, which we believe will restore investor confidence in its equity story and strengthen its position as a vital Korean economic leader.”
