QSE bull run continues on strong earnings, rising foreign inflows
Satyendra Pathak Doha The bullish momentum in the Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) remained intact this week, with the benchmark QSE Index advancing by 88.01 points, or 0.81 percent, to close at 10,915.20 points. This upward movement was largely fueled by solid corporate earnings announcements and increasing inflows from foreign institutional investors, both of which contributed to a broader sense of optimism across the market. Market capitalisation followed suit, registering a week-on-week increase of 1.2 percent. The total value of listed companies on the exchange rose from QR640.1 billion at the end of the previous week to QR647.6 billion. Out of the 53 listed companies, 39 ended the week in the green, while 12 declined and two remained unchanged, reflecting overall positive sentiment among investors. One of the standout performers during the week was Mannai Corporation, which recorded a substantial gain of 15 percent, emerging as the best-performing stock. On the other end of the spectrum, Doha Bank posted the steepest decline of the week, with its share price falling by 4.2 percent. Several heavyweight stocks played a critical role in supporting the index's gains. Qatar Islamic Bank contributed the most to the index's advance, adding 40.9 points to the benchmark. QNB Group followed with a 28.7-point contribution, while Nakilat, the country's leading LNG shipping company, added a further 6.6 points. These blue-chip firms saw strong investor interest driven by robust earnings results and confidence in their long-term fundamentals. Trading activity surged compared to the previous week. The total value of shares traded on the exchange increased by 23.3 percent to reach QR2,242.6 million, up from QR1,819.3 million in the prior week. Trading volume also witnessed a significant rise of 20.3 percent, with a total of 769.6 million shares changing hands compared to 639.4 million shares in the previous week. Additionally, the number of executed transactions climbed by 23.1 percent, reaching 115,627 trades, up from 93,943. Mannai Corporation was not only the best performer in terms of price appreciation but also led in trading value, with QR138.3 million worth of its shares traded during the week. In terms of trading volume, Ezdan Holding Group came out on top, with 135.7 million shares traded. Investor behavior during the week showed a notable shift in capital flows. Foreign institutional investors maintained their status as strong net buyers, recording net purchases worth QR136.1 million, an increase from QR99.2 million in the previous week. Qatari institutional investors, while still net sellers, reduced their net selling position to QR21.8 million from QR32.8 million the week before. In contrast, foreign retail investors reversed their previous week's buying trend, turning into net sellers of QR19.9 million, compared to net buying of QR11.2 million in the earlier week. Qatari retail investors continued to offload shares, recording net sales of QR141.9 million, up significantly from QR77.6 million. On a year-to-date basis, global foreign institutions have been net buyers of $56.0 million in Qatari equities, underscoring their growing confidence in the local market. In contrast, institutional investors from the GCC region have remained net sellers, with total outflows amounting to $29.7 million. Commenting on the weekly performance, financial market analyst Youssef Bouhlaiqa told Qatar News Agency (QNA) that the QSE is exhibiting a notable upward trajectory, backed by technical indicators that point to market strength and stability. He predicted that, if the current positive sentiment continues, the QSE Index is well positioned to breach the psychological resistance level of 11,000 points in the coming week. Bouhlaiqa attributed the market's performance to better-than-expected quarterly earnings from listed companies, which have reassured investors about the fundamental strength of the Qatari economy. He said that the results released so far have generally met or exceeded expectations, reinforcing the bullish outlook for key sectors. He also highlighted the role of foreign portfolios, which have become increasingly active in recent weeks. According to him, these investors are closely watching the Qatari market for opportunities, particularly in the context of global macroeconomic uncertainty and the relative stability offered by Qatar's economic and financial fundamentals. Bouhlaiqa emphasized that investor focus is gradually shifting towards stocks in the industrial, insurance, and telecommunications sectors. These sectors, he said, are showing signs of renewed strength and could drive the market higher in the short to medium term. He also advised investors to closely monitor supply and demand dynamics in individual stocks, as this can provide valuable clues about future price movements and institutional activity.
