Hayleys buys balance 9.47-stake in Singer Sri Lanka
In September 2017, Hayleys bought control from Singer Sri Lanka for 10.8 billion rupees, in what was the largest trade in the Colombo Stock Exchange.
Hayleys, and its units Carbotels and Volanka bought a 61.73 percent stake at the time also for 47 rupees a share.
Retail Holdings NV, the previous parent had the option of selling remaining shares within the next 12 to 15 months.
Sri Lanka's rupee, which has an unstable soft-peg to the US dollar has fallen since then. (Colombo/Oct15/2018)

If Hayleys values it at 47. Won't it be a better for us to value at 31.

Should be a speculative play.
Mandatory offer / or would Hayleys sell as their gearing ratio is not at a comfortable levels.
No one should invest on this if he is not dare to loose at this juncture.

Yes... Even Plantation sector will get affected due to Iran sanctions. Hayleys will have tough time ahead. Yet they must have good strategies.. Rights will not be an option in a down market. NDB would have tasted the bitter pill. Dankotuwa also failed rights in a down market.
However Hayleys will prepare with superb strategies.
