Market Cap: AED2.94B
Al Waha Capital PJSC, with a market cap of AED2.94 billion, has shown significant revenue growth in recent quarters, reporting AED381.32 million for Q2 2025 compared to AED155.75 million the previous year. Despite this growth, the company faces challenges such as negative earnings growth over the past year and a dividend not well covered by free cash flows. However, its short-term assets significantly surpass both short and long-term liabilities, and it maintains more cash than debt, suggesting financial stability amidst volatility concerns. The management team is experienced with an average tenure of 2.8 years.
