Shanghai Electric Group Company ( (HK:2727) ) has provided an update.

Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited has approved the disposal of its 47.4% equity stake in subsidiary Shanghai Electric Guoxuan New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. via a public tender on the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange, setting a nominal starting tender price of RMB1 based on a pre-assessment of the subsidiary’s total equity value. The company will also waive its right of first refusal over an additional 3.6% stake in Electric Guoxuan held by an employee shareholding platform, enabling a full exit by its side of shareholders. Management said Electric Guoxuan’s core business—100Ah lithium iron phosphate battery-based energy storage products aimed at backup power and overseas residential storage—no longer aligns with Shanghai Electric’s strategic focus on large-capacity batteries for domestic power energy storage, and the subsidiary has posted persistent operating losses since its establishment. The transaction, which is neither a material asset restructuring nor a related-party deal, is intended to streamline the group’s portfolio, cut exposure to a loss-making, non-core business line, and reallocate resources toward its main energy storage strategy.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:2727) stock is a Hold with a HK$4.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shanghai Electric Group Company stock, see the HK:2727 Stock Forecast page.
