Profit before tax for Dubai Investments sees a significant increase to Dh546.28 million in the first half of 2025
Dubai Investments, a leading investment company based in the United Arab Emirates, has announced impressive financial results for the first half of 2025. The company reported a profit before tax of AED 546.28 million, marking a significant increase from AED 431.68 million in the same period last year.
The strong performance was driven by robust growth in the real estate and manufacturing segments. The real estate sector, a key contributor to Dubai Investments' success, showed consistent and growing rental income, a trend that aligns with positive trends seen in Dubai Residential REIT. High occupancy rates near 98% across various residential segments and increased revenues have bolstered the sector's performance.
The manufacturing segment also contributed significantly to the higher profitability, although detailed breakdowns are limited in the available sources.
As a result of these strong performances, total group assets climbed moderately to AED 22.74 billion, reflecting stable growth in the asset base. However, equity attributable to the owners of the company slightly decreased to AED 13.89 billion from AED 14.11 billion.
Total income for the period was AED 1.89 billion, a decrease from AED 2.03 billion in the previous year. Khalid Bin Kalban, Vice Chairman and CEO of Dubai Investments, stated that the company's first-half performance in 2025 highlights the strength of its diversified portfolio and strategic focus on value-accretive sectors.
The Violet Tower project in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) is progressing as scheduled, with approximately 26% of construction completed and an expected completion date in Q2 2026. Meanwhile, Asayel Avenue at Mirdif Hills is entering the early construction phase following its groundbreaking in June 2025.
Looking ahead, Dubai Investments is focusing on accelerating growth in its core sectors, particularly real estate and financial services, for the second half of 2025. The phased handover of villas at Danah Bay on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, is progressing steadily, further supporting the company's growth strategy.
