The Stock Exchange of Mauritius closed the week of July 28 – August 1 on a positive note. The SEMTRI gained **1.14%**, lifting the official market capitalisation to **Rs 369.4 billion**. A reassuring signal for investors as the H1 earnings season approaches.

## A week driven by MCB Group and Phoenix Beverages

Of the 65 securities listed on the official market, **16 advanced**, 36 held steady and 13 declined. MCB Group Limited was the most actively traded stock of the week, with **Rs 98.7 million** in transactions — well ahead of CM Diversified Credit Ltd (Rs 21.6 million) and Phoenix Beverages Ltd (Rs 10.6 million).

The week's standout performer was **Phoenix Beverages Ltd**, surging **+11.16%** — a notable gain for one of Mauritius's heavyweight agri-food companies. AfreximBank DR followed at **+6.92%**, and Omnicane Ltd rounded out the top three risers at **+5.85%**.

On the downside, Innodis Ltd shed **\-3.88%** and IBL Ltd dropped **\-3.16%**, a reminder that stock-picking discipline still matters in a market undergoing gradual re-rating.

## Indices on a two-month climb

The SEMDEX closed at **2,292.28 points**, up from 2,218.26 on June 24 — a gain of more than 74 points in five weeks. The SEM-10 large-cap index settled at **434.24 points**. On the DEM (Development & Enterprise Market), the DEMEX reached **221.50 points**, with a combined capitalisation of Rs 31.2 billion.

Total official-market turnover came to **Rs 216.2 million** — a moderate but seasonally consistent figure. SBM Holdings Ltd (Rs 9.5 million) and ER Group Limited (Rs 9.2 million) rounded out the top-five by volume.

## Why it matters

The Stock Exchange of Mauritius is a barometer of economic confidence for the archipelago. A third consecutive positive week reflects renewed appetite from local and regional investors for Mauritius-listed equities, fuelled by the 2026-27 Budget reforms unveiled in June. The SEMTRI's climb from 2,218 to 2,292 points in a month confirms a durable upward trend — which will face its next test in August as listed companies begin releasing half-year results.
