HC is leaving in place its \u201coverweight\u201d rating, with analyst <strong>Monette Doss<\/strong> writing in a client note out today that the firm is bumping its 12-month target price for CI by 19% to EGP 5.47 per share. CI shares closed up 1.1% today at EGP 4.59.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why the question? <\/strong>Readers will recall that Banque Misr is mounting a mandatory tender offer to raise its stake in CI Capital to a commanding 90% \u2014 or just shy of the minimum it needs to maintain an active listing on the EGX. HC thinks the tie-up with Banque Misr, which already owns nearly 25% of CI, would be good for the investment bank, citing \u201csignificant synergies between the two entities, including providing [lower cost] funding to CI Capital\u2019s NBFS operations and benefiting investment banking operation.\u201d Banque Misr said it will settle for a minimum of 51% of CI, but it\u2019s an open question how liquid CI\u2019s shares would be if the state-owned giant leaves just 10% in private hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CI Capital has appointed Baker-Tilly WAG to do a fair value report<\/strong> ahead of the MTO, the investment bank said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/2\/CI-Capital-Baker-Tilly.pdf\">regulatory filing today (pdf<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>MEANWHILE- EFG Hermes is overweight Egypt in the latest incarnation of its MENA Top <\/strong><strong>20<\/strong>, out to clients this afternoon from <strong>Simon Kitchen<\/strong>.
