2354 GMT - Six options appear to be available to Ramsay Health Care as it reviews its 52.8% stake in European private hospital business Ramsay Santé, suggests Citi. It could strike a deal with Predica, the major shareholder in Santé, which has a right of first refusal, or it could find another buyer. Ramsay could consider an in-specie distribution of Santé shares to its own shareholders, or sell the Nordics division to recapitalize Santé. Other options include injecting more equity into Santé, or maintaining the status quo. "We estimate 52.8% of Ramsay Santé could be worth A$2.30-A$4.80 per Ramsay share," analyst Mathieu Chevrier says. Citi has a neutral call on Ramsay. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
