Deutsche Post shares trading at 20-40 pct discount vs rivals partly on US

Posted by | Apr 11, 2006 | |

Deutsche Post World Net AG chief financial officer Edgar Ernst said the company’s share price is currently trading at a discount of about 20-40 pct compared with its rivals partly because of its problems in the US. In an interview with Boersen-Zeitung, Ernst also said another reason is the overhang in shares of Deutsche Post. He said once the US operations start making positive contributions to group earnings and when the state-owned Kreditanstalt fuer Wiederaufbau (KfW) sells its remaining Deutsche Post shares as part of the government’s privatisation, then the discount would be reduced. ‘(Our discount) is between 20 pct and 40 pct. And that is clearly too much. Our benchmark for that is UPS, Fedex and TNT,’ he said.
