Casablanca stock exchange today: SMO stands out in a falling market
Monday, October 26, 2026 produced one of the clearest divergences of the session in Casablanca: S.M Monétique surged 6.0% to 489.0 MAD, the day’s best performance, even as the MASI index fell 0.32% to 16,999.56. In a market where 45 stocks declined, against just 14 gainers and 22 unchanged, SMO’s move looked less like a random bounce and more like a targeted re-rating.
That outperformance mattered because the broader tape remained weak. The MASI 20 dropped 0.53% to 1,235.38, extending its year-to-date loss to 16.85%, while the MASI Mid and Small Cap index slipped 0.42% to 1,625.92, leaving it down 11.71% in 2026. Only the MASI ESG index closed higher, up 0.29% at 1,253.53, according to market data.
