Cairo-based financial firm Link Holdco has reduced its equity stake in Fawry for Banking Technology and Electronic Payments to 4.99%, down from 5.09%. The divestment involved selling 3.39 million shares at EGP 6.09 per share, totaling EGP 20.66 million, with EFG Hermes acting as broker. This follows a recent EGP 1.02 billion block trade executed on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX). Fawry’s Q1 2024 consolidated net profit surged 135% year-on-year to EGP 333.71 million, signaling robust growth despite the shareholder adjustment.
