Skycity's Grand Hotel Sale Paves Way for Dividends to Restart

Dow Jones

Jul 24

2216 GMT - Casino operator SkyCity Entertainment's deal to sell The Grand Hotel puts it in a position to resume dividend payouts in FY27, says Forsyth Barr. SkyCity has entered into a non-binding heads of agreement for the sale of The Grand Hotel, but didn't say how much the asset will fetch. It came five days after SkyCity sold two other properties. Forsyth Barr values The Grand Hotel at NZ$200 million. "Industry feedback and recent transactional evidence suggest upside to this valuation, and we believe a potential sale price of between NZ$200 million and NZ$250 million could be achieved," analyst Paul Laxton Koraua says. Cash proceeds from the transaction are likely in 1H27. Forsyth Barr forecasts a NZ$0.03/share dividend in FY27, representing a 75% payout of net profit. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
