Singtel (SGX:Z74) has disposed of a 2.8% stake in Thailand energy company Gulf Development for SG$1 billion, according to a Singtel release on Tuesday.
The disposal is part of the telecommunications company's asset recycling program aimed at driving growth and sustainable shareholder returns.
The transaction was carried out via a private placement to institutional investment and will result in net gains of around SG$140 million in equity.
The company had acquired a 7.7% stake in Gulf Development in 2025 following the amalgamation of Intouch Holdings and Gulf. The merger removed Intouch as the intermediary holding company and resulted in the creation of a new entity, Gulf Development.
Following the transaction, Singtel will have a 4.95% stake in Gulf Development, valued at about S$1.8 billion.
