Following the volatility in late September 2026, the BRVM market entered a period of mixed performance. While the market showed signs of recovery by September 29, with the BRVM Composite index rising to 548.04 points and Bridge Bank Group Côte d’Ivoire (BBGCI) gaining 7.46% on strong half-year profits, this upward trend was short-lived. By mid-October 2026, the market faced a new period of decline, with the BRVM Composite, BRVM 30, and BRVM Prestige indices recording several consecutive sessions of losses. Despite this downward movement in indices, trading activity saw a significant surge on October 13, 2026, with transaction values reaching 6.166 billion FCFA—more than double the previous session. Equity market capitalization faced downward pressure, falling to 21,329.309 billion FCFA. Notable individual stock declines included BICICI, which saw a 25 billion FCFA loss in market capitalization, and ETI, which lost 18.1 billion FCFA. Other stocks experiencing declines included Sicable, Alios Finance, and NSIA Banque. In contrast, some companies demonstrated resilience; TotalEnergies CI recorded gains of approximately 6.83% and 4.53% in different sessions, while Tractafric, Setao, Bernabé CI, and AGL also showed positive movements. Sonatel remained a highly active stock during this period. In late October 2026, the market experienced fluctuating performance. In one session, 30 out of 39 active stocks declined, causing the BRVM-Composite to fall 0.81% to 520.27 points, with notable losses for Erium, CIE, and BICICI. However, a subsequent session saw indices return to growth, with the BRVM-Composite rising 0.33% to 521.99 points. Despite this index recovery, total transaction value decreased to 1.943 billion FCFA from the previous day's 2.807 billion FCFA. Top performers during this period included Sucrivoire Côte d’Ivoire and ERIUM Côte d’Ivoire, while Tractafric Motors Côte d’Ivoire saw the largest decline.
