CK Hutchison Holdings is reportedly considering a dual listing for its health and beauty retailer A.S. Watson Group in Hong Kong and the UK.
Wall Street Journal cited sources saying that Watson has begun laying the groundwork for initial public offerings in both Hong Kong and the UK in a move that could raise up to 2 billion US dollars -- or 15.6 billion Hong Kong dollars.
It aims to activate the IPO process in the early half of next year.
Being the world's biggest healthcare and beauty retailer, Watson was founded more than 180 years ago in Guangzhou and operates 17,000 online and offline shops.
Singaporean sovereign fund Temasek owns around 25 percent of Watson.
The CK Hutchison spokesperson says it is not responding to market rumours.
