"Given weak market conditions we expect that the company will IPO by the end of next year," a company spokesman said on Thursday after Syngenta reported its Q3 earnings. The IPO update came as Syngenta, which competes with U.S. company Corteva (CTVA.N) and German firms BASF (BASFn.DE) and Bayer (BAYGn.DE), reported its latest earnings. Syngenta, which recently announced a change of chief executive and chief financial officer, has been pursuing an IPO for nearly two and half years. Syngenta was bought by ChemChina in 2017 for $43 billion and folded it into Sinochem Holdings Corp in 2021.

CHICAGO, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Arkansas ordered Syngenta to sell 160 acres (65 hectares) of farmland in the U.S. state within two years on Tuesday because the company is Chinese-owned, drawing a sharp rebuke from the global seeds producer. U.S. farm groups and lawmakers are increasingly scrutinizing foreign land ownership due to concerns about national security. "Our people in Arkansas are Americans led by Americans who care deeply about serving Arkansas farmers," Das said. The state also fined Syngenta $280,000 for failure to report foreign ownership in a timely manner. "All Syngenta land holdings have been examined by the U.S. government, through two administrations, as Syngenta was transitioning to ChemChina ownership," Das said.

HONG KONG, March 28 (Reuters) - The Shanghai Stock Exchange has cancelled a hearing to review Swiss agrichemicals and seeds group Syngenta's initial share offering (IPO) plan, a filing posted on the exchange showed. Syngenta, which planned to raise 65 billion yuan ($9.44 billion) in its Shanghai flotation, was bought for $43 billion by ChemChina in 2017 and folded into Sinochem Holdings Corp in 2021. The Shanghai exchange, which planned to conduct the hearing on Wednesday, did not provide a reason for the cancellation. Companies planning IPOs on the exchange need to appear before a panel for a hearing as a requirement for proceeding with their listing.

Syngenta 4Q profit falls as raw material prices increase

ZURICH, March 22 (Reuters) - Swiss agrichemicals and seeds group Syngenta on Wednesday reported a 25% drop in fourth quarter earnings due to higher raw materials and energy costs. Sales rose 4% to $7.5 billion boosted by strong growth in its seeds business. "As previously indicated, farmers accelerated their purchases earlier in the year due to supply concerns, moderating fourth quarter growth," the company said. "The group continued to maintain higher prices necessary to offset elevated raw material and other costs," it added. The parent company plans to keep a majority stake after its $10 billion flotation, which is expected to value Syngenta at around $50 billion.
Feb 22 (Reuters) - Italian tyremaker Pirelli (PIRC.MI) said on Wednesday it expects revenues this year of some 6.6-6.8 billion euros, at least in line with the better-than-expected figure for 2022. Revenues at the group totalled 6.62 billion euros ($7.03 billion) in 2022, beating a target of about 6.5 billion euros which was set only in November as an upgrade on an earlier estimate. The supplier of luxury car brands like Ferrari and Porsche said its adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) stood at 977.8 million euros in 2022, up from 815.8 million euros a year before. The result was driven by higher pricing and as measures put in place to weather rising costs offset the hit from raw material costs and other inflation. China's Sinochem Holdings Corp, the biggest investor in Pirelli, last week denied a report that it planned to sell its 37% stake in the company.
LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Trading house Mercuria Energy Group has bought back the minority stake that Chinese state-owned ChemChina held in the Geneva-based company since 2016, a spokesperson for Mercuria said on Tuesday. ChemChina was China's largest chemical group and owned 530,000 barrels per day (bpd) of refining capacity when it bought a 12% stake in Mercuria during an expansionary phase by many Chinese firms. ChemChina bought Swiss fertiliser and pesticide maker Syngenta the same year for $43 billion. Before the merger, ChemChina was poised to increase its stake in Mercuria in 2018. In return, Mercuria was set to gain a stake in the Chinese giant, but the deal did not go ahead.
