Key Takeaways
BOA Mali’s strong profit rebound and disciplined cost management contributed to one of the top stock performances on the BRVM in 2024. The bank’s 55.2% stock price gain over the past year reflects rising investor confidence despite a contracting balance sheet and rising risk costs. While public securities holdings declined, customer lending grew, and gains from trading activities rose. The bank’s long-term investments and rising equity base signal preparation for expansion once macroeconomic conditions improve. Cost of risk remains a concern, but capital buffers provide resilience. The stock’s 22.8% year-to-date return and recent short-term gains (+11% in 1 week, +19.3% in 1 month) point to renewed market optimism following the earnings release. Investors appear to be pricing in continued profitability and dividend potential.
