CK Hutchison Holdings Business Description

Address 2 Queen’s Road Central, 48th Floor, Cheung Kong Center, Hong Kong, HKG
CK Hutchison Holdings, or CKH, is a Hong Kong headquartered conglomerate with key businesses in ports, retail, infrastructure, and telecommunications. The company was created in 2015 to house the merged assets of Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa as the group sought to flatten out and simplify its original holding structure. CKH contains most of the businesses previously housed in Hutchison Whampoa, minus the property assets, which were spun off into their own listing, CK Asset Holdings. Telecommunications and infrastructure activities now make up the largest share of EBITDA, at around 51%. The planned sale of most of the ports business is currently being scrutinized by the government.
