A red finish to October
The MASI lost 1.57% on Friday October 30, 2026, closing at 16,537.91 points. The MASI 20, which tracks the twenty largest stocks, fell 1.59% to 1,197.40 points. The MASI Mid fell more, by 2.46%. The MASI ESG fell less, by 1.01%.
Boursenews links the drop to portfolio adjustments after the annual review of the MASI’s free-float and capping factors, dated October 29. It also points to weaker mining stocks, as precious metals fell on world markets.
The index review is reversed for now
According to Le Matin, the review cut Managem’s free-float factor from 15% to 10%. This reduced the stock’s weight in the MASI from about 10.55% to 6.86%. The newspaper also reports that trading in Managem shares was suspended, pending important information.
The Scientific Committee of Indices met on October 30 and decided to restore the earlier factors. According to Boursenews, index weights will be calculated with the factors of October 28 from the session of Monday November 2, 2026. The Committee has given itself one month to finish new rules for the index. These rules will be published before they apply.
