Record results and a growing backlog: why has HD KSOE’s share price halved? | Ye’s Story | EP.35

An independent exercise, not a statement by the video creator or verification of every claim in the video.

Is a subsidiary’s market capitalization the holding company’s value?

Hypothetical calculation: a subsidiary has a total market capitalization of 100 and the holding company owns 70%, giving a stake value of 70. With no other net assets at the parent and parent-level net debt of 10, simplified net asset value is 60. If a further assumed market discount of 30% applies, the valuation is 42. Total subsidiary capitalization, stake value, parent net assets and discounted price are different figures. Separating them tests the assumption that subsidiary good news translates proportionately into the parent’s share price.

Check for yourself

1. Does the debt figure include subsidiaries’ consolidated debt or only parent-level net debt?
2. What change in distributions, cash investment or governance supports the expectation of a narrower discount?

Limits of application

This simplified model does not estimate HD KSOE’s actual ownership, net assets or fair value. It excludes taxes, unlisted assets, control premiums and transaction costs. Subtracting subsidiary debt again from a market-valued equity stake can double-count it. The assumed discount is neither an observed figure nor a price target.
