Sinai Cement (SCEM) has secured shareholder approval to elevate its authorized capital to EGP 10 billion, marking a significant financial milestone. The extraordinary general meeting (EGM) greenlit the issuance of 168.20 million new shares, raising the issued capital from EGP 1.33 billion to EGP 3.01 billion. This move, approved by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) in January 2024, aims to bolster the company’s growth initiatives. Despite these developments, Sinai Cement reported consolidated net losses of EGP 121.45 million for the first nine months of 2023, reflecting a slight improvement from EGP 176.70 million in the prior-year period. The strategic capital expansion contrasts with ongoing operational challenges, leaving investors weighing long-term opportunities against near-term risks.
