According to data tracked by Billionaires.Africa, Lazraq’s stake in ADI has decreased by MAD 171.16 million ($17.41 million) over the past eight days, bringing its current value to MAD2.83 billion ($287.79 million).

This downturn follows a previous gain of $24.2 million that saw his stake rise from MAD2.73 billion ($276.51 million) to MAD2.97 billion ($300.75 million) between July 12 and 24.

ADI’s market capitalization slips below $560 million

ADI, a leading real estate developer under the Alliances Group, which Alami Lazraq founded 25 years ago, has experienced a 5.7 percent drop in share prices over the past eight days. 

Shares fell from MAD263 ($26.75) on July 29 to MAD248 ($25.22), subsequently lowering the company’s market capitalization to under $560 million.

Alami Lazraq’s position remains strong despite setback

Lazraq, one of Morocco’s wealthiest individuals, holds a 51.7 percent majority stake in ADI, equating to 11,410,669 shares.

The recent dip in ADI shares has caused his stake to decline by MAD 171.16 million ($17.41 million) over the past eight days, from MAD3 billion ($305.2 million) on July 29 to MAD2.83 billion ($287.8 million).

While the recent losses are notable, Lazraq’s position remains robust, underpinned by his long-standing presence in the Moroccan real estate sector.
