*Aggregate profits excluding private joint-stock companies and real estate investment trusts.
 
By sector: The banking sector contributed the largest share of aggregate profits on DFM in Q2 2026, retaining its position as the top sector by total market profit for a second consecutive quarter, with a 46% contribution to DFM’s aggregate profits. Sector profits rose 5% quarter-on-quarter, driven by profit growth at four out of six banks in the study group, led by Mashreqbank with a 26% rise over Q2 2025, reflecting an 11% increase in total operating income and a reversal of impairment provisions of AED 77.8 million compared to a charge of AED 246.3 million at the end of Q2 2025.
 
The real estate sector was again the second-largest by profit in Q2, with a contribution of 28% to DFM’s aggregate profit. Sector earnings rose 20% to AED 6.88 billion from AED 5.73 billion in Q2 2025, supported by broad-based profit growth across sector companies.
 
The utilities sector ranked third by market-wide profits, with an 11% contribution, despite a slight profit decline year-on-year due to a 29% decrease in Tabreed’s earnings.
 
The industrial sector maintained fourth position by profit size, contributing approximately 5% of aggregate market profits despite a 24% YoY earnings decline. This was largely driven by a 75% drop in Air Arabia’s profit, attributed to a 23% decrease in passenger numbers following reduced operational capacity due to continued regional conflict
 
The telecom sector advanced to the fifth spot by profit size, up from sixth in Q2 2025, contributing 3% of total market profit as DU’s earnings rose 10% YoY.
