Reading a stock page: price, volume, market cap and free float

Why start with the stock page?

Before opening a 200-page annual financial report (RFA), the stock page gives you the essentials at a glance: price, size, liquidity, valuation and income. It is the first screen to check on Casabourse for any Casablanca Stock Exchange stock — whether IAM, ATW or Addoha.

Breaking down IAM — field by field

Open the Maroc Telecom page on Casabourse. Here is what each area tells you (reference data, June 2026):

Page field IAM value What it means Beginner habit
Last price 91.4 MAD Last price at which IAM traded (closing auction fixing or last continuous trade) Compare to the 52-week high/low to place the price in its annual range
Day change e.g. +0.6 % Move versus the previous close A one-day move says nothing about company quality — look at the trend
Session volume 44,070 shares Number of shares traded that day High liquidity: you can buy/sell easily. Comfortable threshold: > 5,000 shares/day
Market cap 80.3 bn MAD Price × total shares = stock market size of the company IAM is among the largest caps on the exchange — a “large cap”, generally less volatile
Free float ~30–35 % (indicative) Share of stock actually available to trade (excluding the State and controlling shareholders) Moderate free float: the State and affiliates hold a large stake; limited float caps theoretical liquidity
P/E ~15–17x (based on 2024 EPS) Price / earnings per share = how many years of profit the stock “costs” P/E alone is not enough — compare to the telecom sector and IAM history in the comparator
Dividend yield ~4.4 % Annual dividend / price × 100. 2024 DPS: ~1.43 MAD Attractive recurring income — check that earnings cover the dividend (payout < 100 %)
52-week high / low e.g. 82 – 98 MAD Price range over a rolling year At 91.4 MAD, IAM is in the upper part of its range — context for judging whether the price is “expensive” or “cheap”

Zoom: price and market cap

The price of 91.4 MAD multiplied by shares outstanding gives market cap of 80.3 billion MAD. That is Maroc Telecom’s “size” in the market’s eyes. For comparison: ATW shows ~146 bn and BCP ~49 bn on Casabourse. IAM is therefore the 2nd or 3rd largest stock depending on the session.

Zoom: volume and liquidity

44,070 shares traded per day is among the highest volumes on the Casablanca Stock Exchange. In practice: if you buy 50 IAM shares (~4,570 MAD), your order is less than 0.2 % of daily volume — it will fill without moving the price. Compare with Disway (~59 shares/day): there, 50 shares can represent almost an entire session. High volume reduces execution risk; it is a technical criterion on the page, not a buy recommendation on IAM.

Zoom: P/E and dividend

The P/E ~15–17x means the market pays 15 to 17 dirhams for each dirham of IAM’s annual earnings. That is reasonable for a mature telecom with moderate growth. The dividend yield ~4.4 % (DPS 1.43 MAD / price 91.4) makes it an income stock: you earn roughly 4.4 % per year in dividends, excluding price moves. Check in the RFA that earnings cover the dividend — at IAM, payout remains sustainable.

What the stock page does not tell you (and where to find it)

The stock page is a snapshot, not a full diagnosis. To go further on Casabourse:

  • Income statement / balance sheet: annual accounts tab (revenue, EBITDA, net income)
  • Dividend history: calendar and past amounts
  • AMMC documents: RFA, earnings releases, issuer fact sheet

BVC practical case

Open the IAM page on Casabourse and copy the 8 fields from the table above with today’s data. Then open the comparator and compare IAM with BCP: market cap, P/E, dividend yield, volume. Which is more liquid? Which offers the best yield? The page alone does not answer — comparison does.

Key takeaways

  • IAM: price ~91.4 MAD, market cap ~80.3 bn, volume ~44,070 — example of a highly liquid BVC page.
  • Market cap = size; free float = shares actually tradable.
  • P/E = first read on valuation; dividend yield = potential annual income.
  • Volume > 5,000/day = comfortable for a beginner.
  • The Casabourse stock page is the starting point; the comparator refines the choice.
