Moroccan billionaire Anas Sefrioui, founder of Douja Promotion Groupe Addoha (ADH), has seen his shares in the company increase by $57.6 million in recent weeks, lifting the value of his stake in the Casablanca-based developer back above the $1 billion mark.
Sefrioui’s ADH stake rises on recovery
Sefrioui holds nearly 65 percent of ADH, about 260.8 million shares, making him one of the most influential figures in Morocco’s property market. Since June 19, the market value of his holding has risen from MAD8.79 billion ($970.36 million) to MAD9.59 billion ($1.03 billion), driven by signs of renewed stability in the country’s real estate sector.
The recovery comes after a difficult stretch in late May, when the value of his stake dropped by more than $90 million. Back then, it fell from MAD9.96 billion ($1.08 billion) to MAD9.13 billion ($992 million), sparking unease among investors. The recent rally has eased some of those concerns, hinting at a more positive outlook for both Sefrioui and ADH.
ADH shares climb nearly 4 percent
ADH remains a major force in Morocco’s housing sector, particularly known for its low-income and affordable housing developments in cities such as Casablanca, Ain Aouda, El Jadida, and Tetouan. The company’s performance is often viewed as a bellwether for the broader real estate market, and its gains carry weight for retail and institutional investors alike.
In the latest trading sessions, ADH shares have risen nearly 4 percent, from MAD33.70 ($3.72) to MAD35.70 ($3.94). The increase lifted the company’s market capitalization above $1.5 billion and handed meaningful returns to shareholders — including Sefrioui, one of the exchange’s most closely watched investors.
Your money and your life
Despite the recent rally, ADH shares are down more than 19 percent since the start of the year. A $100,000 investment in January would now be worth about $80,570, a loss of nearly $19,430. The drop reflects broader economic concerns and a market still wary about the months ahead.
For Sefrioui, the recent upswing is a welcome relief after weeks of pressure. It strengthens his standing as one of Africa’s billionaires Morocco’s wealthiest business leaders, and while challenges remain, the rebound in ADH shares shows that investors are not yet ready to bet against him or the company he built.
