Trading ideas: Yinson, 7-Eleven, Pavilion REIT, CIMB, Ecomate, Ho Hup
KUALA LUMPUR: Stocks to watch today based on their latest news include Yinson Holdings Bhd , 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Bhd , CIMB Group Holdings Bhd, Pavilion REIT, Ecomate Holdings Bhd and Ho Hup Construction Company Bhd. New York-based Stonepeak Partners is reportedly in exclusive talks for a buyout of Yinson Holdings Bhd, potentially valuing the firm at up to RM9bil (US$2.1bil), Bloomberg reported, quoting sources familiar with the matter. This could be one of the largest deals in Malaysia this year. 7-Eleven has named Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini as its new independent non-executive chairman, with immediate effect. CIMB Group, the parent company of CIMB Thai Bank, has no plans to increase the bank's public shareholding, despite the Thai unit being suspended from trading on June 5 for failing to meet the 15% minimum public shareholding requirement. Under new rules effective March 2024, non-compliance will lead to suspension instead of fines. Ecomate is acquiring a 60% equity stake in Progressive Computer Systems Sdn Bhd (PCS) for RM8.4mil as part of its strategy to diversify into the information and communications technology sector. Ho Hup has defaulted on revolving credit facilities totalling RM45.27mil, prompting a legal action by AmBank Islamic Bhd. Pavilion REIT has raised approximately RM360mil through a private placement. The funds will partly finance its RM480mil acquisition of Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur and Pavilion Hotel Kuala Lumpur, with the balance covered by bank borrowings.

Stonepeak is said in exclusive talks for buyout of US$2.1bil Yinson
Stonepeak Partners is in exclusive talks for a buyout of Yinson Holdings Bhd that may value the firm at as much as RM9bil (US$2.1bil), according to people with knowledge of the matter, in what could be one of the biggest deals in Malaysia this year. New York-based Stonepeak is teaming up with the Lim family, Yinson's founder and biggest shareholder, to take the Kuala-Lumpur-listed energy infrastructure company private, said the people, asking not to be identified because the discussions aren't public. The Lim family owned 26.6% of Yinson as of May 30. Considerations are ongoing and there is no certainty a deal will be reached, the people said. Yinson's shares jumped as much as 14% following the Bloomberg News report on the talks, the biggest intraday gain since June 2019. That cut the year-to-date loss from 20% as of Thursday's close and lifted Yinson's market value to about 6.5 billion ringgit. Representatives for the Lim family and Yinson declined to comment. Stonepeak didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Founded in the 1980s as a transport and logistics firm, Yinson has since diversified into energy infrastructure, renewables and technology, its website shows. The company signed an agreement with a consortium of investors in January for a $1 billion funding round for a unit that makes vessels used by the offshore oil and gas industry, Bloomberg News reported at the time. - Bloomberg

New Lao-Thai friendship bridge to enhance trade and connectivity, say top officials
Image from The Nation Thailand/Asia News Network VIENTIANE (Bernama-Xinhua): The fifth Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge, linking Bolikhamxay province in Laos to Thailand's northeastern province of Bueng Kan, is set to open in December 2025, enhancing regional and international connectivity while fostering trade, investment, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.. A concrete-pouring ceremony of the fifth Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge was held on Friday in Bolikhamxay province, attended by Lao Deputy Prime Minister Saleumxay Kommasith, Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Suriya Jungrungreangkit, and officials from both countries. The project is an important part of Lao's sustainable growth plan and will help the country improve infrastructure and become better connected regionally and internationally, according to a Lao Economic Daily report on Saturday. The 1,350-metre bridge marks a major step in bilateral cooperation, with 98.4 per cent of construction on the Lao side and all approach roads and immigration facilities completed. The bridge is expected to cut travel time between the two provinces by up to three hours, boosting trade and tourism. Following earlier crossings that handle over 5 million vehicles annually, the new bridge is projected to start with 1,200 vehicles per day, increasing to 3,000 within five years. - Bernama-Xinhua
