Dubai Investments' Nine-Month Profit Rises 2% to $280.4 Million on Rental Income
Real estate remained the largest earnings contributor as total assets climbed to $6.71 billion and two buyouts closed during the period.
Dubai Investments posted net profit of $280.4 million (AED 1.03 billion) for the first nine months of 2026, up 2% year on year, as rental income from its property portfolio and growth in manufacturing, contracting and services lifted earnings.
Profit attributable to shareholders was $275 million (AED 1 billion) in the first nine months of 2025. Total income rose to $852.3 million (AED 3.13 billion) from $836 million (AED 3.07 billion).
Total assets reached $6.71 billion (AED 24.64 billion) at September 30, 2026, against $6.34 billion (AED 23.28 billion) at the end of 2025. Equity attributable to shareholders stood at $4.05 billion (AED 14.87 billion).
Real estate remained the biggest contributor to group earnings, helped by sustained growth in rental income. Manufacturing, contracting and services also performed strongly, the company said.
Khalid Bin Kalban, vice chairman and chief executive, called the listing of DIP Holding on the Dubai Financial Market a key strategic milestone, saying it reflected the value created through the group's real estate investments.
Two acquisitions closed in the period. Dubai Investments lifted its stake in Clemenceau Medical Center Dubai to 100% from 20% and bought the remaining 49% of White Aluminium Extrusion. The hospital deal strengthens its healthcare presence and gives more flexibility for expansion; full ownership of White Aluminium reinforces the manufacturing portfolio.
Construction and delivery of its real estate developments are progressing on schedule, the company said.
Dubai Investments was established in 1995 and is listed on the Dubai Financial Market, operating across real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, education, investments and services. It has 16,016 shareholders, paid-up capital of $1.16 billion (AED 4.25 billion) and ranked 97th in a 2026 list of the Middle East's 100 most valuable companies.
The group said it is exploring further investment opportunities across its segments, and Bin Kalban said the focus stays on expanding operations, strengthening market presence and managing the portfolio for long-term earnings growth.
Buying out minority partners leaves Dubai Investments owning two businesses it already knew, rather than adding new exposure. That is the cheaper form of expansion, and it lands on a balance sheet roughly $370 million larger than it was in December.
