[Featured Stock] Dio, a 'Big 3' in the Implant Industry... Rises on News of Management Rights Sale Reattempt
[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Dio is showing strong performance. This is interpreted as due to news that the management rights sale, which was canceled in August last year, is being reconsidered after about six months.
As of 9:24 AM on the 14th, Dio is trading at 23,750 KRW, up 5.09% compared to the previous day.
According to industry sources, Credit Suisse is recently contacting potential buyers to sell 29.6% of shares held by Dio's largest shareholder, Nice Investment Partners, and its affiliates. It is known that not only private equity funds (PEF) and financial investors (FI), but also some domestic large corporations are showing interest as strategic investors (SI) in acquiring Dio's management rights.
