“Seen the price of Hapag-Lloyd today?” one source asked towards the end of the trading session on Friday, when the shares of the German carrier traded over €120 apiece.
You read it right: €120. That’s about $24bn in market cap, a near-30% premium against the value of Maersk’s container shipping assets PLUS all the other operations under its umbrella (terminals, logistics, towage and so forth).
“Klaus-Michael Kuehne is a genius” was my first section.

April 27, 2020 at 3:01 pmThanks for your comment, Naim. Clearly you mean CSAV (which merged with HL in 2014), the other major shareholder with Mr Kuehne controlling 30% of the HL equity https://www.marketscreener.com/COMPA-A-SUD-AMERICANA-DE-6524875/financials/. Interesting angle indeed… thanks for your comment!
Best regards,
