Liberty demerger heralds new era
Liberty International’s proposed demerger of its £6.1bn property empire marks the beginning of a new era for the UK real estate investment trust sector since its inception in 2007. Two new companies are expected to start trading on the London Stock Exchange as early as this summer: Capital Shopping Centres (CSC), a mall-owning Reit expected to have a market capitalisation of £2bn, and Capital & Counties (CapCo), which will own the London estate and developments around Covent Garden and Earls Court, with a capitalisation of about £1bn.
China Mobile seals stake in Pudong
China Mobile has agreed to pay Rmb39.8bn for a 20 per cent stake in Pudong Development Bank, closing a deal that unsettled investors when news of it started leaking two weeks ago. In an attempt to calm jittery investors after China Mobile shares were hammered over the past week, the world’s largest mobile operator said the investment would increase its earnings per share by 2 per cent immediately on completion of the deal.
Xbox outsells the Wii console in the US
Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console outsold Nintendo’s Wii in the US last month for the first time in more than two years, but the figures are unlikely to mean a reversal of fortunes for the two videogame machines. Microsoft sold 422,000 Xbox 360s in the US in February, while Nintendo sold 397,900 of the Wii and Sony sold 360,100 of the PlayStation 3, according to the research company NPD.
