General Atlantic Singapore Fund, a major promoter entity in KFin Technologies, is set to sell up to a 6% stake in the tech-driven financial services firm through a large block deal. The sale is expected to be executed at a floor price of ₹809.75 per share, representing a discount of 5–8% to the previous closing price, as the fund looks to pare down its holding in the company.
 
Key Highlights:
  • Stake Sale Details: General Atlantic Singapore Fund currently holds a significant 32.91% stake in KFin Technologies and is planning to offload around 6% of the company’s total outstanding shares via block deals.
  • Pricing: The shares are expected to be sold at a floor price of ₹809.75 per share, offering a 5–8% discount to the last traded price, in line with market practices for large secondary transactions.
  • Transaction Size: Recent similar sales have seen General Atlantic divest up to 5.8% of KFin Technologies for approximately ₹712 crore at an average price of ₹712.81 per share, with the latest block deal potentially raising even more depending on market demand.
  • Post-Sale Shareholding: After the transaction, General Atlantic’s stake in KFin Technologies is expected to reduce significantly, with a 60-day lock-in period applicable on the remaining shares.
  • Market Impact: The sale has put KFin Technologies’ shares in focus, with previous stake sales leading to notable share price movements and increased trading volumes.
  • Company Outlook: Despite the stake sale, KFin Technologies continues to report strong financial performance, with Q4 FY25 net profit up 14.3% year-on-year and revenue from operations rising 23.8%. The company remains well-positioned for growth, supported by recent strategic acquisitions and a robust pipeline.
This high-profile stake sale marks a significant shift in KFin Technologies’ shareholding structure, attracting keen interest from institutional investors and the broader market.
