Egypt’s stock market closed the week on Thursday, 13 November 2025, with a mixed performance across major indices, as investors split their attention between blue-chip stocks, Shariah-compliant shares, and mid-cap companies.
The main EGX30 index, which tracks the country’s largest listed companies, slipped 0.09% to 40,190 points, reflecting mild profit-taking after recent gains. In contrast, the EGX33 Shariah Index outperformed the entire market, rising 1.53%, supported by strong demand for industrial and Shariah-compliant stocks. Other indices saw small moves. The EGX35-LV, which tracks low-volatility stocks, edged down 0.02%, while the EGX70—focused on SMEs—fell 0.50%. The broader EGX100 dipped 0.29%.
Total market capitalization ended the session at EGP 2.9 trillion, roughly unchanged for the week.
The week saw a notable shift in investor behaviour. Egyptian investors turned into net sellers, taking profits after earlier rallies and recording EGP 8.9 billion in net selling.
Meanwhile, foreign investors stepped in as strong buyers, recording EGP 8.3 billion in net purchases. Arab investors also remained net buyers with EGP 565 million, showing renewed regional interest in Egyptian equities.
This return of foreign demand is seen by analysts as a sign of confidence in Egypt’s economic direction and improving market stability.
Three stocks led the market this week:
- Egyptian Real Estate Group jumped 16.94%, helped by renewed interest in property-related shares.
- Misr Beni Suef Cement rose 14.84% on strong sales and export activity.
- Misr Cement (Qena) gained 11.06%, continuing its positive momentum after recent profit growth.
Cement companies, in particular, attracted strong buying from both local and foreign investors. While, A few companies came under pressure after recent rallies:
- Pioneers Properties (PRE Group) fell 4.94% on profit-taking.
- Arab Dairy – Panda dropped 4.69% amid higher production costs.
- Sinai Cement slipped 4.48%, pausing after a strong run in previous weeks.
Overall, the EGX ended the week without a clear single trend. Blue chips cooled slightly, Shariah-compliant stocks continued to climb, and mid-cap shares saw mixed movement.
Analysts expect this “split performance” to continue, with investors focusing more on companies showing strong earnings, export growth, or clear sector momentum.
For now, the key takeaway is simple: Egypt’s stock market remains active, selective, and increasingly supported by rising foreign interest.
