Good evening,
 
 

Good evening,

Another day, another potential deal in the utilities sector.

This time, we’ve spotted Australian fund manager First Sentier testing interest in its big Kiwi gas distribution business First Gas, with the help of some investment bankers.

First Sentier and its bankers have been holding confidential meetings with interested parties, keen to see whether there’s someone willing to pay up for a chunky stake.

It’s not for everyone. Not all investors are convinced that gas infrastructure’s future is as bright as electricity, which is why the bids are rolling in for AusNet/Spark/ElectraNet and not APA Group, and particularly in NZ.

Elsewhere, we take a look at BHP Group’s whirlwind ride, and report on Icon Group’s record-breaking debt deal.

Happy reading,

Anthony Macdonald, Sarah Thompson and Kanika Sood
