Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Dubai Investments PJSC operates in property, investment, manufacturing, contracting, and services sectors both in the United Arab Emirates and internationally, with a market cap of AED15.69 billion.
Operations: The company’s revenue is derived from property (AED2.16 billion), manufacturing, contracting and services (AED1.47 billion), and investments (AED289.47 million).
Market Cap: AED15.69B
Dubai Investments PJSC, with a market cap of AED15.69 billion, has shown strong earnings growth of 62.6% over the past year, significantly outpacing the Industrials industry. Despite this growth, its operating cash flow only covers 13.5% of its debt, indicating potential liquidity challenges. The company’s short-term assets exceed both short and long-term liabilities, providing some financial stability. However, interest payments are not well covered by EBIT at 2.4x coverage and dividends are not well supported by free cash flows. The recent large one-off gain of AED1.1 billion skews profitability metrics temporarily higher than usual levels.
