Several major companies across different sectors in the UAE said on Wednesday that their operations remain uninterrupted and their financial positions strong despite recent geopolitical tensions in the region.
Whilst some firms acknowledged that the situation could lead to short-term market volatility, they expressed confidence in their ability to remain resilient, citing diversified portfolios and the UAE’s stable business environment.
Companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and the Dubai Financial Market (DFM)—including Investcorp Capital, Presight AI Holding, Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE), Al Wathba National Insurance Company (AWNIC) and Hily Holding—said their businesses continue to operate normally.
Representing sectors ranging from finance and technology to logistics and aviation, the firms said they are closely monitoring developments to ensure the safety of their assets and employees.
They also confirmed that their financial positions remain solid, with no material impact on their balance sheets or liquidity so far.
However, some companies noted that geopolitical tensions could trigger temporary market fluctuations, though they remain confident about their ability to withstand uncertainty due to strong portfolio positions and the UAE’s stable market environment.
“Whilst heightened geopolitical tensions may lead to short-term volatility, ICAP’s diversified global portfolio and disciplined investment strategy position us to navigate uncertainty with resilience,” Investcorp Capital said.
Trading on the UAE’s two stock exchanges had been suspended for two days following the outbreak of hostilities in the GCC on February 28, 2026. Markets in Dubai and Abu Dhabi reopened on Wednesday, though most stocks closed lower.
