MDP stands out in a defensive session
The clearest takeaway from the Casablanca stock exchange today was a sharp divergence: Med Paper climbed 3.6% to MAD 25.5, the best performance on the board, even as the MASI index fell 0.38% to 18,322.01 points on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. With 32 decliners against just 19 gainers, this was not a broad-based rebound but a highly selective move.
MDP’s rise mattered even more because the small- and mid-cap backdrop was weak. The MASI Mid and Small Cap index dropped 0.67% to 1,848.56 points, meaning the stock outperformed not only the headline market but also its more natural peer segment. That usually points to stock-specific buying rather than a simple beta-driven bounce.
