Hapag-Lloyd share price hits stratospheric levels

While share prices of the main container shipping companies have fallen by an average of 19% in the past year as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic takes its toll, Hapag-Lloyd’s share price has risen by 630% to reach a record high of ¼186 per share on 15 May. The spectacular run-up in Hapag-Lloyd’s share price has pushed the company’s market capitalization to a dizzying $34.6 Bn, which is more than the combined market valuation of the next nine largest pub-licly listed container shipping companies. Hapag-Lloyd’s price to book value stood at 4.7 times, compared to an industry average of just 0.8 times.

Hapag-Lloyd’s management was unable to explain the reason for the share price appreciation during the company’s first quarter results announcement last week apart from pointing out the very low public free-float of just 3.6% of its shares as at the end of March.

The accumulation of shares by Klaus Michael Kuehne and CSAV appears to have continued to drive the share price, but this could not be verified as Hapag-Lloyd did not provide the updated shareholdings since 31 March when the com-pany’s share price was trading at just ¼67 before the recent price surge.

Both Kuehne and CSAV have been steadily increasing their shareholdings in Hapag-Lloyd since the end of 2017, with Kuehne’s stake rising from 19.0% to 30.0% and CSAV’s stake rising from 25.5% to 30.0%, according to the latest shareholders list as at the end of March 2020.

It is unclear if there is any discord between the two key shareholders who, to-gether with the City of Hamburg which holds a 13.9% stake, had formed a con-trolling shareholder bloc that are bound to vote unanimously at Hapag-Lloyd’s shareholders meetings.
