Investment holding company Alpha Dhabi reported a 48 percent increase in net profit for the second quarter of 2026, reaching Dh9.8 billion, driven by its expanded portfolio and strategic investments in emerging technology sectors. The company announced revenues of Dh37.6 billion for the quarter, marking a 5 percent rise compared with the same period in 2025.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew 7 percent to Dh9.3 billion, while total assets increased to Dh230 billion, up from Dh214 billion at the end of 2025. During this period, Alpha Dhabi’s total equity rose to Dh110 billion from Dh104 billion recorded at the close of last year.
Significant contributions to these gains came from fair value increases of Dh3.7 billion linked to Alpha Dhabi’s investments in technology firms including SpaceX, Cerebras, and Anthropic. The firm’s exposure to these companies is facilitated through its Dh14.3 billion stake in Alpha Wave Ventures II, a venture capital fund co-managed by Abu Dhabi-based Chimera Capital and New York’s Alpha Wave Global.
While Anthropic remains privately held, SpaceX and Cerebras have filed for initial public offerings and have expanded markedly in scale and strategic importance since Alpha Dhabi’s initial investment. The holding company emphasized that its ongoing commitment to high-growth sectors such as artificial intelligence, advanced computing, space technology, digital banking, hospitality, and infrastructure is central to its growth strategy.
Alpha Dhabi’s chairman, Mohamed Thani Al Rumaithi, attributed the group's strong performance to its disciplined investment approach and the UAE’s robust economic environment. He highlighted the company’s focus on long-term sustainable growth through a diversified portfolio portfolio optimized for value capture across emerging industries.
Meanwhile, managing director and CEO Hamad Al Ameri underscored the group’s strategy to extend beyond traditional sectors by prioritizing investments in future-oriented industries expected to shape the global economy and generate attractive returns.
The company’s results underscore its aim to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position in cutting-edge technologies and next-generation digital infrastructure as part of its broader expansion plan.
