CANAL+ debuted on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on Wednesday, marking the first secondary listing by a firm from France in the city. The stock held steady near its opening price of 58.50 rand ($3.59) throughout the day. This move fulfills a 2025 acquisition pledge and provides a liquidity boost to a bourse recently hit by several high-profile exits.
