QSE surges to 3-year high on strong H1 corporate earnings
Satyendra Pathak Doha The Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) Index ended the trading week on a strong note, gaining 305.56 points or 2.8 percent to close at 11,220.76 points, its highest level in three years. The week's performance was driven by a combination of upbeat corporate earnings, attractive interim dividends, and rising interest from foreign institutional investors. Market capitalisation followed suit, rising by 2.5 percent to reach QR663.8 billion, up from QR647.6 billion at the end of the previous trading week. Of the 53 listed companies on the QSE, 36 ended the week with gains, 14 recorded losses, while three remained unchanged, indicating broad-based market strength across sectors. Trading activity during the week reflected increased investor participation. The total traded value rose by 3.7 percent to QR2,325.7 million compared to QR2,242.6 million in the previous week. Trading volumes surged by 23.5 percent, with 950.2 million shares changing hands compared to 769.6 million shares in the prior week. However, the number of transactions declined by 17 percent, falling to 94,990 from 115,627 in the previous week. Among individual stocks, Qatar Islamic Bank (QIBK) emerged as the best performer, posting a weekly gain of 7.3 percent. It was also the largest contributor to the index's rise, adding 126.45 points. QNB Group (QNB) and Industries Qatar (IQ) also played key roles in supporting the index, contributing 96.30 and 38.45 points respectively. On the other hand, Mannai Corporation (MCCS) was the worst-performing stock of the week, falling by 11.2 percent. Despite the decline, MCCS was the most traded stock in terms of value, with QR207.5 million worth of shares exchanged. Ezdan Holding Group (ERES) led in terms of traded volume, with 114.7 million shares traded during the week. Investor behaviour continued to show a clear divide between institutional and retail participants. Foreign institutional investors remained net buyers, recording a net inflow of QR159.1 million, slightly down from QR183.6 million the previous week. Qatari institutions continued to sell, with net outflows of QR21.1 million, nearly unchanged from QR21.8 million a week earlier. Foreign retail investors remained net sellers, posting QR8.2 million in sales, although this was an improvement from the QR19.9 million recorded the previous week. Qatari retail investors also remained bearish, with net selling of QR129.7 million compared to QR141.9 million in the previous week. Year-to-date, global foreign institutions have shown sustained interest in Qatari equities, registering a net buying position of $93.5 million. In contrast, institutional investors from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) remain net sellers by $23 million, indicating a divergence in regional investment behavior. Commenting on the week's performance, financial market analyst Mubarak Al Tamimi told Qatar News Agency (QNA) that a number of positive factors contributed to the index breaching the key 11,000-point level. Chief among them, he said, were the solid performance of listed companies and their strong profits in the first half of the year, which were followed by interim dividend announcements. Al Tamimi noted that there is a growing trend of foreign and Gulf investment portfolios moving towards the Qatari market due to the opportunities it offers in comparison to other regional markets. He added that this trend is likely to strengthen in the coming period amid falling interest rates and rising returns on shares of Qatari companies. He emphasised that the current market conditions present a favorable environment for investors to enhance their portfolios, increase their buying activity, and inject more liquidity into the market. Al Tamimi encouraged investors to make the most of the attractive stock prices and strong dividend yields but warned against engaging in speculative trading without sufficient experience, due to the associated high risks. Concluding his analysis of the market, Al Tamimi said that the general index is now approaching its next technical resistance level at 11,500 points. If this level is breached, the index could move higher toward the next resistance mark of 11,917 points, indicating a continued upward trajectory if the market momentum remains intact. The strong performance of the QSE this week, underpinned by improving fundamentals, rising foreign inflows, and increased trading activity, signals growing confidence in the market. If these trends persist, the Qatari stock market could continue to deliver solid returns and attract further regional and international investment.
