Egypt’s stock market closed the week ending November 6, 2025, on a positive note, with all major indices finishing in the green.
The benchmark EGX30 index rose by about 2.09 percent to close at 39,949.66 points, marking a steady recovery throughout the week after a mild decline at the start. The broader market followed a similar direction, with the Shariah-compliant EGX33 rising 0.76 percent to 4,101.74 points, the EGX35-Low Volatility advancing 0.74 percent to 4,369.12 points, the EGX70 for small and mid-cap stocks edging 0.03 percent higher to 12,081.6 points, and the EGX100 index adding 0.38 percent to 15,989.98 points. Total market capitalization reached about EGP 2.84 trillion, reflecting renewed investor appetite across several sectors.
Trading data showed a clear contrast between local and foreign investor behavior. Egyptian investors were the main buyers during the week, recording net purchases of around EGP 2.15 billion, supported by Arab investors who added another EGP 1.32 billion in net inflows. In contrast, non-Arab foreign investors were net sellers, offloading approximately EGP 3.47 billion in shares. This pattern indicates that local confidence and liquidity played the leading role in driving the market higher, while foreign investors remained cautious amid ongoing global and domestic economic uncertainties.
The week’s top gainers came from technology, financial technology, and consulting sectors, with shares of Suez Canal Company for Technology Settling jumping 20 percent to EGP 240.66 per share, Fawry for Banking Technology and Electronic Payment rising 7.55 percent to EGP 15.38, and Development & Engineering Consultants climbing 7.20 percent to EGP 84.17. Meanwhile, a few large-cap names in banking and healthcare weighed on the lower end of the market. Export Development Bank of Egypt declined 5.93 percent to EGP 16.51 per share, El-Nile Co. for Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries fell 5.66 percent to EGP 104.09, and Cleopatra Hospital Company dropped 5.13 percent to EGP 11.10. The mixed performance across sectors highlights investors’ selective approach, with strong buying seen in technology and payments while some profit-taking and defensive moves affected banks and hospitals.
One of the most influential stocks of the week was Talaat Moustafa Group Holding (TMG Holding), which continues to play a central role in the index’s movement due to its heavy weighting on the EGX30. The stock helped lift the market mid-week, supported by renewed buying interest as traders responded to the company’s solid fundamentals and earlier financial results showing a 59 percent rise in sales to EGP 211 billion in the first half of 2025. TMG’s stable performance, current projects in progress locally & regionally, as well as, reputation as a leading real-estate developer contributed to investor optimism, especially as the sector remains a traditional hedge for local investors seeking to protect value amid inflationary pressures and currency fluctuations.
Overall, the Egyptian stock market’s performance reflected cautious optimism. The rise in indices shows that local investors are regaining confidence, finding opportunities in undervalued shares and companies with solid fundamentals. However, the continued selling by foreign investors indicates that international appetite for Egyptian equities remains soft, possibly constrained by concerns over exchange-rate stability and the global interest-rate environment.
In conclusion, Egypt’s market ended the week stronger, driven mainly by domestic investors and selective gains in real estate, payments, and technology. While the overall tone is positive, the sustainability of this upward trend will depend on attracting foreign inflows and maintaining macroeconomic stability in the weeks ahead. For now, the rally offers a sign of resilience — a reminder that local confidence remains a powerful force supporting Egypt’s equity market, even in a challenging global climate.
