The wise investor | Fidelity sells MTY

Every Sunday, we shine the spotlight on financial and stock market news items that may be useful to the investor, but which may have passed under the radar.


MTY’s largest institutional shareholder has just sold shares in the Montreal franchisor to bring its stake below 10%.

Fidelity sold nearly $30 million worth of shares in MTY Power Group during the session of February 23. This transaction triggered the obligation to reveal to the authorities that Fidelity had started the month of March with an 8.7% stake in the operator of brands such as Bâton Rouge, Sushi Shop and Valentine.

Fidelity is therefore no longer required to report its transactions on MTY unless its stake in the company returns to 10% or more.
