QSE-Listed Companies’ Net Profit Falls 11.4% in the First Half of 2026

QSE listed companies made less profit in the first half of 2026 than they did a year ago. What should

investors take from that?

Companies listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange reported a combined QAR 23.63 billion in net profit for

the six months ending 30 June 2026.

That compares with QAR 26.66 billion during the same period in 2025, representing an 11.37% year on

year decline.

The figures cover companies that have reported for the period, with Al Faleh Educational Holding

excluded because its financial year ends on 31 August.

For investors in Qatar, the headline number gives a useful snapshot of how profitability across the

market has changed. But an 11.37% decline in combined profit does not mean every listed company saw

its earnings fall.

That distinction matters. The aggregate figure tells us what happened to the overall profit pool, while

individual company results can tell very different stories.

So rather than treating the decline as a verdict on the entire market, investors can use it as a starting

point: which companies contributed to the drop, which managed to grow their earnings, and where is

profitability proving more resilient?
