Transition to Principal A Segment
In a significant market development, five companies have successfully transitioned from the Principal B segment to the more prestigious Principal A of the Casablanca Stock Exchange. This shift includes Delta Holding, Risma, Jet Contractors, CMGP Group, and Sonasid.
Significance of Principal A
The Principal A segment is known for housing the most liquid companies on the exchange, thereby concentrating a substantial portion of the market's overall value. Notable firms within this segment include industry giants such as Attijariwafa Bank, Itissalat Al-Maghrib, BCP, Bank of Africa, Marsa Maroc, Managem, and TAQA Morocco.
Characteristics of Principal B
Conversely, the Principal B segment remains populated by companies with more moderate market capitalizations. This group includes firms such as HPS, Auto Hall, Oulmes, Mutandis, SMI, and Dari Couspate, which continue to play a vital role in the broader market landscape.
