SWIRE PACIFIC A (00019.HK)  +0.450 (+0.517%)    Short selling $67.02M; Ratio 377.292%   announced that it would sell its 2.52% stake in CATHAY PAC AIR (00293.HK)  -0.330 (-2.811%)    Short selling $38.13M; Ratio 79.812%   through a placement at HKD11.74 per share, generating proceeds of HKD1.789 billion, according to a UBS report.

The decision to conduct this placement came after CATHAY PAC AIR's repurchase of the 9.6% stake previously held by Qatar Airways, bringing its shareholding back closer to historical levels, SWIRE PACIFIC A said.

UBS estimated that the sale would increase SWIRE PACIFIC A's market capitalization by around 0.7%, and the company's consolidated net debt ratio may improve from 20.6% at the end of 2025 to 20%.

The broker believes this sale is similar to the situation last month when another strategic shareholder, AIR CHINA (00753.HK)  -0.190 (-3.808%)    Short selling $27.03M; Ratio 47.055%   , sold its shares in CATHAY PAC AIR, and SWIRE PACIFIC A remains confident in its aviation business.
