Dubai Investments PJSC (DFM:DIC)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆

Operations: The company generates revenue from property (AED2.26 billion), investments (AED253.17 million), and manufacturing, contracting, and services (AED1.19 billion).

Market Cap: AED9.01B

Dubai Investments PJSC, with a market cap of AED9.01 billion, operates across multiple sectors including property and manufacturing. Despite recent negative earnings growth and forecasted declines over the next three years, the company maintains a satisfactory net debt to equity ratio of 19% and covers its short-term liabilities with assets totaling AED7.1 billion. However, profit margins have decreased from 57.2% to 25.9%, partly due to large one-off gains impacting financial results. While dividends are unstable, the company's price-to-earnings ratio of 9.4x suggests it may be undervalued relative to the AE market average of 13.6x.
