Adani bull GQG hikes stake in GMR Airports to over 5%

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1]
US-based boutique investment firm GQG Partners, best known on Dalal Street as an Adani bull, has increased the stake in GMR Airports Infra from 4.74% to 5.17% last week.

"Now, on August 23, 2024, the Acquirer and PACs (persons acting in concert) acquired further shares of the Company, resulting in their shareholding crossing 5% of the share capital of the Company," GMR said in a regulatory filing.


GQG had a 7.66% stake in GMR in 2023-end but due to corporate actions in July this year, the shareholding reduced below 5% of the paid-up capital of the company.

GMR shares, which have outperformed with a 58% return in the last year, were trading marginally higher at Rs 96 on BSE.
