CITY Developments Ltd (CDL), which on Thursday posted a 3.2 per cent year-on-year drop in second-quarter net profit to S$133.5 million, has been raising its stake in its London-listed hotel arm Millennium & Copthorne Hotels with an eye to consolidating more of the latter's profit.
CDL's stake in M&C has risen from about 53 per cent at end-2005 to 63 per cent at end-June 2015.
