Hyundai Elevator Rises to Three-Year High as Schindler, Parent Buy Shares

Hyundai Elevator Co., South Korea’s largest elevator maker, rose to the highest level in more than three years in Seoul trading after share purchases by Schindler Holding AG and parent Hyundai Group stoked takeover speculation.

The Hyundai Group unit climbed by the daily 15 percent limit to 127,500 won at the 3 p.m. trading close, the highest price since November 2007. Affiliate Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. gained 2.2 percent, the most since Dec. 16, to 37,150 won.

Hyundai Elevator rose by the limit for a second day after Schindler, the world’s largest maker of escalators, said Dec. 24 it had raised its stake to 35 percent. Hyundai Group’s Hyundai Logiem Co. also boosted its stake last week, to 27 percent.

“We increased our investment to protect our interests,” Barbara Schmidhauser, a spokeswoman for Hergiswil, Switzerland- based Schindler, said by phone today. “At this time, I can’t say whether Schindler has any plans to buy more shares or increase its investment.”
