GCC share sales raised $2.4 billion in second quarter
GCC equity markets continued to attract capital and investor interest in Q2 2025, a report showed on Monday. PwC Middle East's latest IPO Watch report reveals that a total of $2.4 billion was raised across four main market IPOs and eight listings on Saudi Arabia's Nomu Parallel Market. Despite volatile equity markets early in the quarter, regional indices demonstrated resilience, reinforcing the region's position as a hub for capital markets activity. IPO proceeds in Q2 2025 were broadly in line with the same period last year ($2.6 billion in Q2 2024), despite a decline in the number of listings. Notably, three IPOs raised over $500 million each, reflecting larger deal size and sustained investor appetite. Saudi Arabia remained the most active market, accounting for 76 per cent of IPO proceeds, supported by landmark listings like Flynas, the first airline IPO in the GCC in more than 15 years, and Specialised Medical Co., which raised $500 million in June. The Nomu market also remained robust, with eight listings raising $128 million, up from $81 million in Q2 2024. In the UAE, the Dubai Residential Reit IPO marked the first Reit listing since 2014 and underlined renewed momentum in real estate and alternative assets. The DFM and ADX both rebounded strongly from early-quarter volatility, gaining 15 per cent and 7 per cent respectively, with the DFM benefiting from positive performance across the real estate, financials and industrials sectors. 'The global market volatility at the start of Q2, driven by uncertainty over global trade tariffs, understandably prompted some companies to reassess their IPO plans. Despite slower IPO activity across the GCC, Tadawul and DFM witnessed landmark IPOs such as Flynas and Dubai Residential Reit. The outlook remains cautiously optimistic for the remainder of the year subject to macroeconomic and geopolitical factors,' said Muhammad Hassan, Capital Markets Leader, Partner at PwC Middle East. Across the GCC, equity markets delivered mixed performance in Q2 2025. While early-quarter turbulence weighed on sentiment, recovery in the second half of the quarter helped restore investor confidence. Energy price fluctuations continue to influence indices, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where the TASI fell 6 per cent due to a ~20 per cent drop in Brent crude. Looking ahead, PwC highlights that while Q3 is typically a quieter period for IPOs, issuers across the GCC are gearing up for potential listings in late 2025 and early 2026 - the pipeline remains strong and diversified.
