A surge of confidence at DFM today with almost AED 1.5 billion of shares traded
- 50% up on yesterday's volume- and a 1.5% increase. 85% of the total value
came from just two stocks, Emaar Properties and Dubai Investments, but no final
result news from either company so far today (and even Emaar's
Investor Relations Department doesn't know when). DFM closed at
4284 points, a healthy 1.5% up from yesterday.
Saudi's Tadawul had a miserable day yesterday with a 2.3% fall to below 7000
points. Encouraging to see that didn't drag the DFM down for a change.
2006 Results
Announcements Today
Dubai Financial Market
Emaar Properties PJSC (EMAAR) stormed away with over 1 billion dhs of trading (almost 70% of the total for DFM) and a 4% increase to 13.20. Dubai Investments PJSC (DIC) continuing its strong upwards trend with a 1.7% rise to 4.72 from 237m dhs of trading. Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) fairly busy too with almost 100m dhs worth of deals.
Shuaa Capital PJSC (SHUAA) and National General Cooling Company PJSC (TABREED) flat, other active stocks up by less than a percent on moderate trading. Biggest rise was Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD) from one small trade. Only three stocks fell on a trivial number of trades although National Bank of Dubai (NBD) volume was still significant. Biggest fall of 3.8% from National Cement Company.
Abu Dhabi Securities Market
ADSM out of the limelight today with a lower 121m dhs worth of trading and a slight fall of 0.5% to 3046 points. 23 stocks fell, 14 rose and 4 remained the same.
Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) the popular one today with over 30m dhs worth of trading and a small rise of 0.65%. Unclear why since their results were out a few days ago now. National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) looking strong also with 20m dhs worth traded and a 1.2% rise. Ras Al Khaimah Cement Company (RAKCC) and Sudan Telecom Company Ltd (SUDATEL) the only other active stocks showing a small increase. Ras Al Khaimah Properties PJSC (RAKPROP) and Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) didn't change.
Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) took a bit of a hit falling 2.5%. ARKAN joining in with a 2.3% fall. Bank Of Sharjah (BOS) announced a 20% cash dividend (no sign of results as this goes out) and went down 3%. Other actively traded shares were down 0-2%.
Big rises from UAB (surprisingly after their mediocre results, but it was only
3 trades), Foodco
Holdings PJSC (FOODCO) almost exactly reversing yesterday's hammering, and
QCEM. Biggest falls from Commercial
Bank International (CBI) (only 1 trade so it's hardly a sell-off) and NBQ.
