HPS is extending its payments strategy toward SaaS and artificial intelligence as first-half 2026 operating revenue reached MAD 761.0 million, up 13.10 percent year over year. In an interview published on October 20, 2026, TelQuel reported that HPS executive Brahim Berrada identified SaaS as a key growth lever and discussed the group's expansion plans.
What does the margin mean?
The operating improvement is substantial but cash conversion is the sharper investor test. According to MarocBoursier on September 28, 2026, EBITDA rose 74.70 percent to MAD 122.0 million and the EBITDA margin reached 16.00 percent, compared with 10.40 percent in the first half of 2025.
The same report said net income attributable to the group returned to MAD 35.0 million from a loss of MAD 47.0 million. Operating cash flow was only MAD 3.70 million, leaving a clear gap between accounting profit and cash generation.
Three dated HPS developments

Market value and business scale
HPS had a MAD 3.84 billion market capitalization as of October 20, 2026, while the quoted 52-week range was MAD 481.00 to MAD 679.90. The figures place the operating update beside a valuation that still depends on delivery beyond the first-half rebound.
