Alpha Dhabi Holding, a global investment holding company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, has delivered a strong performance, with net profit of AED12.8 billion ($3.49 billion) and revenue of AED58.3 billion for the first nine months of 2026.

The performance was underpinned by disciplined capital allocation and strategic investments in future-facing industries, an Emirates News Agency (WAM) report said.

Alpha Dhabi’s sustained focus on building a globally competitive and diversified portfolio translated into group revenue of AED58.3 billion, up 6.1% versus the same period of the prior year. This performance reflects the group’s strong financial foundation and balance-sheet resilience, supporting its ability to navigate changing market dynamics while continuing to deliver long-term shareholder value.

Diversified business divisions

The group posted net profit of AED12.8 billion, supported by contributions across its diversified business divisions. External revenue comprised AED22.2 billion from Real Estate, AED21.3 billion from Industrial, AED8.6 billion from Construction and AED6.2 billion from Services & Others.

Alpha Dhabi strengthened its balance sheet, with total assets of AED236.4 billion, representing a 10% increase versus December 31, 2025. The group’s cash and bank balances stood at AED36.5 billion, while total equity reached AED114.6 billion, providing financial flexibility to pursue disciplined growth opportunities.

Alpha Dhabi’s increasingly diversified portfolio, spanning multiple geographies and forward-looking sectors, continues to support resilient, sustainable growth. Portfolio companies generated AED7.7 billion of revenue outside the UAE, representing 13.2% of total revenue, demonstrating the continuing international reach of the Group’s businesses.

Resilience of UAE economy

Mohamed Thani Murshed Ghannam Al Rumaithi, Chairman of Alpha Dhabi Holding, said: “Our strong nine-month performance reflects the resilience of the UAE economy and the strength of Alpha Dhabi’s diversified portfolio. We remain focused on disciplined capital allocation, portfolio optimisation and investment in sectors with compelling long-term potential. This approach supports sustainable shareholder value across market cycles. We enter the remainder of 2026 confident in our strategy and our ability to carry this momentum into 2027.”

Eng Hamad Al Ameri, Managing Director and Group CEO of Alpha Dhabi Holding, said: “We continued to translate our strategy into disciplined execution across a portfolio growing in scale, capability and geographic reach. Revenue of AED58.3 billion and net profit of AED12.8 billion reflect the resilience of our operating platform and contributions across our diversified businesses. We advanced our priorities through investments in artificial intelligence, global technology and private credit, while strengthening our international presence. As we close out 2026, we are focused on operational performance, disciplined capital deployment and decisive execution to accelerate value creation and enter 2027 from a position of strength.”

Alpha Wave III

As part of its investment activities, Alpha Dhabi signed an agreement to commit $1 billion (AED3.67 billion) to Alpha Wave III, a global investment fund managed by Alpha Wave Global. Building on the Group’s participation in Alpha Wave Ventures II, the commitment expands its diversified exposure to artificial intelligence and other high-growth businesses developing and applying transformative technologies. The investment supports Alpha Dhabi’s portfolio diversification strategy and focuses on long-term value creation and remains subject to any applicable approvals.

In private credit, Alpha Dhabi doubled its capital commitment to the MICAD Credit JV managed by Mubadala Capital to $1 billion and increased its ownership interest to 40% from 20%. The partnership’s broadened mandate provides access to additional global private credit strategies alongside existing US and European direct lending activities. The joint venture manages approximately $1.7 billion in assets across 45 portfolio companies, reinforcing private credit as a strategic pillar of Alpha Dhabi’s diversified investment portfolio.
