 Resource Investor - Energy - Is Malaysia's Petronas Preparing to Bid for UK's Centrica?
Petronas has said publicly that it has no imminent intention to increase its stake, and describes it as a “long-term supportive investment,” but in spite of this the market is undoubtedly wondering what kind of game the Malaysian company is playing.
The utility to Petronas of such a small stake in Centrica is questionable, which ergo raises the prospect of a further increase in Petronas’ stake to a meaningfully strategic level, and maybe a takeover of or merger with the entire company.
Based upon Petronas’ $9 billion profits for the last financial year and its strong position in the global upstream gas market, the Malaysian company seems to have the financial capacity to bid for or materially increase its stake in Centrica, which is today valued at around £9 billion.
