Prudential to Sell 2% Stake in ICICI Prudential AMC to Meet Public Shareholding Rules
Prudential Corporation Holdings plans to sell up to a 2 percent stake in ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company through open-market transactions starting August 27, 2026. This sale aims to help the company meet India's minimum public shareholding requirements, reducing promoter holding from 87.6 to 85.6 percent. The stake sale, valued around Rs 3,190 crore, follows the asset manager's December 2025 IPO. Despite the sale, ICICI Prudential AMC reported strong Q1 earnings with a 23-25 percent net profit increase year-on-year. Shares declined about 5 percent following the announcement but remain up 22 percent in 2026.
