B Investments Holding (ISIN EGS691T1C010) sold 26 million Gourmet Egypt shares for EGP 416 million on September 21, 2026, reducing its stake to 33.5 percent, according to Arab Finance. The transaction gives the investment holding company fresh cash exposure while leaving Gourmet as a sizable portfolio position.

Three ownership milestones

On September 15, 2026, B Investments' board approved the acquisition of 53.5 percent of BIG Investment Group, whose portfolio includes a 20.4 percent stake in Madinet Masr, according to Mubasher.

On September 16, 2026, Arab Finance reported that the proposed deal would be funded through a capital increase and share swap rather than a direct cash payment. The structure still requires regulatory steps and an extraordinary general meeting.

What does the stake sale change?

The September 21 sale followed a first-half earnings improvement. Arab Finance reported consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of EGP 407.852 million in the first half of 2026, up 19.78 percent from EGP 340.491 million in the first half of 2025, while the Gourmet holding fell to 33.5 percent.

For investors, the figures point to two distinct value drivers: portfolio monetization through the EGP 416 million Gourmet transaction and expanded control of the BIG ownership vehicle. The share-swap structure limits an immediate cash outflow, but the eventual capital increase and exchange ratio will determine dilution for existing shareholders.
