AD Ports sells NMDC stake to Alpha Dhabi for $436m

2025/11/27 16:33

AD Ports Group has sold a 9.77 percent stake in the dredging company NMDC Group to Alpha Dhabi Holding, an investment holding company, for AED1.6 billion ($436 million).

All three companies are listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).

The ports operator had received the NMDC stake from Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ) before listing in February 2022, it said in a statement to ADX.

In less than four years, the stake yielded a shareholder return of 17 percent, based on dividends and capital gains, with its book value as of Q3 2025 used as a reference.

The divestment is the third this year of non-core assets, following the sale of land at Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (Kezad) to Mira Developments, and the sale of two logistics warehouses in Kezad to Aldar Properties for AED570 million.

Proceeds from the NMDC transaction will be used to deleverage the group’s balance sheet and to recycle capital into higher-return projects.

Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEO of AD Ports Group, said the company will continue actively to manage its asset base to unlock and maximise value.

Further reading:

  • AD Ports records highest revenue since market debut
  • AD Ports buys $28m PIF stake in Egyptian port operator
  • AD Ports to build community in Abu Dhabi

The stake purchase will increase Alpha Dhabi’s ownership in the NMDC Group to around 77 percent.

The port operator’s share price closed at AED4.35 on Wednesday, down about 15 percent year-to-date. It has a free float of nearly 25 percent, with the remaining stake held by sovereign wealth fund ADQ.

International Holding Company, chaired by national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, owns around 60 percent of Alpha Dhabi, according to ADX data.

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale

The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to build its ecosystem and PEPE holds onto its viral roots, a new contender, Layer Brett (LBRETT), is gaining attention after raising more than $3.7 million in its presale. With a live staking system, fast-growing community, and real tech backing, some analysts are already calling it “the next PEPE.” Here’s the latest on the Shiba Inu price forecast, what’s going on with PEPE, and why Layer Brett is drawing in new investors fast. Shiba Inu price forecast: Ecosystem builds, but retail looks elsewhere Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to develop its broader ecosystem with Shibarium, the project’s Layer 2 network built to improve speed and lower gas fees. While the community remains strong, the price hasn’t followed suit lately. SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001298, and while that’s a decent jump from its earlier lows, it still falls short of triggering any major excitement across the market. The project includes additional tokens like BONE and LEASH, and also has ongoing initiatives in DeFi and NFTs. However, even with all this development, many investors feel the hype that once surrounded SHIB has shifted elsewhere, particularly toward newer, more dynamic meme coins offering better entry points and incentives. PEPE: Can it rebound or is the momentum gone? PEPE saw a parabolic rise during the last meme coin surge, catching fire on social media and delivering massive short-term gains for early adopters. However, like most meme tokens driven largely by hype, it has since cooled off. PEPE is currently trading around $0.00001076, down significantly from its peak. While the token still enjoys a loyal community, analysts believe its best days may be behind it unless…
