Lesieur Cristal stock fell 1.87 percent to MAD 315.00 on the Casablanca Exchange on October 2, 2026, giving investors a clear market reference as the company works through weaker first-half sales. The latest operating update shows lower revenue alongside higher investment.
Revenue falls 8 percent
According to Industrie du Maroc on September 15, 2026, Lesieur Cristal reported consolidated revenue of MAD 2.595 billion for the first half of 2026, down 8 percent from the same period of 2025.
The decline came as volumes weakened at the Senegalese subsidiary and sales of table oil and margarine fell in Morocco, according to Financial Afrik on September 10, 2026. The comparison with first-half 2025 makes volume performance the central operating issue for the stock.
Investment rises despite pressure
Lesieur Cristal increased cumulative investment to MAD 24 million in the first half of 2026, compared with MAD 19 million a year earlier, according to Industrie du Maroc. That is a MAD 5 million increase while revenue moved in the opposite direction.
Second-quarter investment reached MAD 10 million, up 26 percent year over year, and the program targets industrial modernization, capacity improvements and brand development. The company also launched ElKef liquid dish soap and Taous moisturizing cream, according to Industrie du Maroc.
Stock trades at MAD 315.00
On October 2, 2026, Lesieur Cristal stock was last at MAD 315.00 in Casablanca, down 1.87 percent for the session. The price reaction contrasts with the companys investment increase and leaves first-half revenue momentum as the main near-term measure for the shares.
