So far, Street Talk’s spotted Singapore’s Keppel and local regular QIC readying their binding bids. Stonepeak is understood to have sniffed around Vector’s smart meters but on Wednesday evening, it wasn’t clear where it stood.
They’ve got eight weeks to prepare binding offers with their investment banks - Jarden for Keppel, and JPMorgan and Craigs for QIC.
Vector’s pitch was similar to the one Intellihub’s from last year - large market shares, stable earnings, and growth opportunities in adjacent sectors.
