Telecoms Was the Best-Performing Sector in Qatar Last Year

These were the winning and lagging sectors on QSE in 2025.

This chart recaps QSE share price performance by sector in 2025, showing where gains were

concentrated and where returns came under pressure. Rather than moving as a single market, sector

performance diverged clearly over the year.

Telecoms stood out as the top-performing sector, delivering a 24% gain and leading overall market

returns. Banks and financial services followed with an 11% increase, supported by steady performance

through the year. Consumer goods and services also contributed positively, rising by 9%.

Mid-table performance came from insurance and transportation, both posting 6% gains. These sectors

delivered modest growth but did not match the leaders.

At the lower end, industrials declined by 3%, while real estate recorded a 5% drop, making it the

weakest-performing sector on the exchange in 2025.

For investors in Qatar, this recap highlights a key point from the year: sector selection mattered more

than broad market exposure.

Understanding which sectors led and which lagged provides useful context when reviewing portfolio

outcomes and assessing diversification.

Looking back at sector-level performance also helps investors better frame future expectations without

relying on short-term market narratives.
