EuroSibEnergo Valued Below Own Target

EuroSibEnergo, billionaire Oleg Deripaska’s power generator, is valued at $4.1 billion to $5.3 billion, according to an analyst at Bank of China, reportedly one of the sale’s organizers.

EuroSibEnergo is seeking to raise as much as $1.5 billion in a initial public offering in Hong Kong in December, Deripaska said Nov. 14. The company plans to sell a 25 percent stake, valuing the company at as much as $6 billion, a person familiar with the matter said Nov. 10.
