SFBT at the Center of a Controversy
The SFBT found itself at the center of a controversy, fueled by social media, which amplified the intervention of the Brigade for Investigations and the Fight Against Tax Evasion. This initially weighed on the stock price, and the company confirmed in a press release that it is cooperating properly with the authorities and that its accounts strictly respect the regulatory procedures in force.
Majority Shareholder Intervenes
In parallel, its majority shareholder (Société des Brasseries & Glacières Internationales - BGI) has multiplied its interventions on the market, with a series of transactions:
- August 22, 2025: acquisition of 8,100 shares
- August 28, 2025: acquisition of 1,012,624 shares
- September 5, 2025: acquisition of 53,784 shares
- September 8, 2025: acquisition of 95,000 shares
- September 9, 2025: acquisition of 65,000 shares
- September 15, 2025: acquisition of 1,031,501 shares
- September 19, 2025: acquisition of 146,220 shares
Other Market Developments
Meanwhile, a crossing below the 10% threshold was announced by Société Partner Investment, after the sale of 1,000,000 shares. Yesterday, a block trade was carried out, involving 451,851 shares at a unit price of 13,500 TND, 4.0% higher than the closing price. The identities of the buyer and seller have not been revealed. This would be the subject of a declaration of significant operations if one of the two parties concerned is legally required to do so.
BGI's Intervention Aims to Reassure Shareholders
BGI's intervention aims to reassure all shareholders, institutional and individual. It shows that it ensures the liquidity of the title is guaranteed for key shareholders, even for large quantities, a quality almost rare in the Tunisian stock market. Moreover, it protects the stock price from the impact of information circulating on the web and social media. And beyond all this, BGI seeks to send a signal. Certainly, it does not intend to sacrifice its treasury. It buys these quantities to show that it is confident in the growth prospects of SFBT and in the trajectory of its profits and stock price.
Current Performance
Today, SFBT shows a return of 18.71% since the beginning of the year, with a market capitalization approaching 3,478 MTND. The evolution of the stock price will have a direct impact on the Tunindex.
