Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Hily Holding PJSC, along with its subsidiaries, manages securities portfolios across the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain with a market cap of AED282 million.
Operations: The company’s revenue is generated from trading (AED51.33 million), investment in properties (AED23.38 million), freight forwarding and storage (AED15.78 million), and investment in financial securities (AED65.01 million).
Market Cap: AED282M
Hily Holding PJSC has demonstrated significant earnings growth of 221.6% over the past year, surpassing its five-year average and outpacing the Industrials industry. Despite a satisfactory net debt to equity ratio of 26.3%, interest coverage remains low at 1.8x EBIT, indicating potential challenges in managing debt obligations effectively. The company’s financial results were impacted by a large one-off loss, yet it achieved a net profit margin improvement to 23%. While revenue increased substantially compared to last year, short-term assets comfortably cover both short and long-term liabilities, supporting liquidity stability amidst board inexperience concerns.
