The Best-Performing BRVM Stocks in 2025

The BRVM delivered one of its strongest years on record in 2025, with several stocks posting triple-digit gains and rewarding patient investors.

The benchmark BRVM Composite Index rose by 25.26%, extending the multi-year rally that has quietly positioned Francophone West Africa as one of Africa’s most compelling equity markets.

Beneath the strong headline index performance, a handful of stocks delivered exceptional, sometimes explosive, returns.

Performance was driven by a mix of earnings recovery, sector rotation, and renewed domestic investor participation.

Below is a breakdown of the ten standout performers that defined the year.

1. Unilever Côte d’Ivoire (UNLC) — +429%

Unilever was the undisputed star of 2025. Momentum began early in the year, accelerated sharply in the second quarter, and peaked around mid-year following strong earnings visibility. A sharp pullback in the final weeks reflected profit-taking, not a reversal of fundamentals.

2. Safca Côte d’Ivoire (SAFC) — +359%

Safca’s rally gathered pace from mid-year as volumes surged. The stock experienced brief consolidations in September before reaching its peak in November. Low liquidity amplified price moves, favoring early entrants.

3. Uniwax Côte d’Ivoire (UNXC) — +241%

Uniwax’s momentum started in late Q2 and strengthened through Q3, supported by improving operational performance. The stock peaked in October before entering a sideways phase into year-end.

4. Air Liquide Côte d’Ivoire (SIVC) — +216%

Air Liquide delivered one of the most explosive late-year rallies. After a quiet first half, momentum accelerated in November and December, with the stock hitting its peak just before year-end.

5. Setao Côte d’Ivoire (STAC) — +194%

Setao began trending upward early in the year, driven by infrastructure-related optimism. The strongest gains came between August and October, followed by volatility and profit-taking in December.

6. Sitab Côte d’Ivoire (STBC) — +171%

Sitab showed steady appreciation throughout the year, with a decisive breakout mid-year. The stock peaked in the third quarter and maintained elevated levels thanks to strong cash flows and dividends.

7. CFAO Motors Côte d’Ivoire (CFAC) — +138%

CFAC rallied sharply from the second quarter, tracking consumer recovery and vehicle demand. Momentum slowed toward year-end, with a notable correction after its October peak.

8. Sicable Côte d’Ivoire (CABC) — +127%

Sicable’s performance accelerated in the second half of the year, driven by industrial demand. After peaking in November, the stock consolidated at higher levels into December.

9. Solibra Côte d’Ivoire (SLBC) — +123%

Solibra delivered consistent gains through the year, with momentum strongest in Q3. Defensive characteristics helped it retain value during market pullbacks.

10. Bank of Africa Mali (BOAM) — +112%

BOAM’s rally was gradual but persistent, supported by improving banking sector fundamentals. The stock peaked late in the year after sustained accumulation.
