The UAE real estate sector experienced significant developments this week, particularly concerning fourth-quarter and annual earnings results, which triggered substantial market movements. The Dubai stock market achieved a decade high, while the real estate sector index reached a new record. Emaar Properties recorded strong results. The company reported a 33% increase in its yearly revenue and a 72% surge in property sales.

In Abu Dhabi, the stock market witnessed several important announcements during the week. The most notable was from Aldar Properties, which reported a substantial 47% increase in net profit in 2024, reaching AED 6.5 billion, with Q4 earnings reaching AED 1.9 billion.
