A UBS research report cited news indicating that CKH HOLDINGS (00001.HK) is in discussions with Liberty Global to sell its Irish telecom operator, Three Ireland. In 2024, Three Ireland contributed approximately HKD1.5 billion in EBITDA, accounting for 6% of CKH's telecom business EBITDA; under the IFRS, it accounted for 1.4% of the group's total EBITDA.

Assuming a 6.5x EV/EBITDA, Three Ireland could be valued as high as HKD8.5 billion, equivalent to 3.6% of CKH's market cap. Any progress could enhance market expectations for CKH to engage in M&A transactions in other operational markets.
