Investor Details Founded: 1986
Corporación Financiera Alba is a Spanish investment holding company founded in 1986 and listed on the Spanish Stock Exchange. It is primarily owned by shareholders of the March Group, one of Spain's leading private family-owned business and financial groups, which also includes Banca March and the Juan March Foundation. Alba's investment strategy focuses on acquiring minority stakes in leading companies with solid management teams and sustainable business models, primarily in Spain but also in other countries. Its portfolio includes significant holdings in companies such as Ebro Foods, Naturgy, Acerinox, Viscofan, and Parques Reunidos. In January 2025, Alba acquired a 6% indirect stake in Nord Anglia Education, a leading international private education company, for nearly $600 million. In 2024, Alba reported a net income of €98 million, a decrease from the previous year, primarily due to lower fair value of financial investments and reduced dividends from associates. Despite this, the company saw a revaluation of its share price by 73.5%, driven by a public delisting offer. The company made strategic investments totaling €102 million and divested some assets, resulting in a net debt of €13 million by year-end. Significant transactions included acquiring stakes in Technoprobe, Inmobiliaria Colonial, and Befesa, while divesting its entire stake in Monbake. Looking ahead, Alba plans to acquire a stake in Nord Anglia Education and has sold its stake in Profand, generating substantial capital gains.
