DFM-listed conglomerate <\/strong>Dubai Investments<\/a><\/strong> is looking to take four of its <\/strong>subsidiaries <\/strong>public<\/strong> as part of a broader divestment strategy to maximize shareholder returns, Khalid bin Kalban, vice chairman and CEO of the state-backed firm, told The National<\/a>. While details on the subsidiaries, the timeline, and the listing venue remain under wraps, the company is actively pitching its portfolio to financial advisers, who are evaluating potential candidates for the IPO pipeline. <\/p>\n

Discussions with regulators are also underway: <\/strong>\u201cWe have looked at a couple [of companies] \u2026 we talked to the local authorities with [regards to] our intention to IPO,\u201d he said. \u201cThe discussion is going on now [around] what multiples we are going to get and what value we are going to get for our divestments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The rationale? <\/strong>\u201cI am not a believer in big assets and big companies. I believe in [an] efficient company, the right size and [one creating] good return for our shareholders,\u201d Bin Kalban said. \u201cI like to reach a maximum of AED 25 bn, and then start offloading some of the companies, or exiting from some of the companies,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Who are the candidates? <\/strong>Dubai Investments\u2019 portfolio includes Dubai Investments Park<\/a>, Properties Investment<\/a>, Al Mal Capital<\/a>, Dubai Investment Real Estate<\/a>, Emirates Building Systems,<\/a>Globalpharma<\/a>, and utility company Emicool<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n

The company has big expansion plans<\/strong>, with a construction portfolio worth AED 2 bn and plans to add AED 1 bn this year through expansions in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Saudi Arabia. The company\u2019s total assets exceeded AED 22 bn as of 3Q 2024, operating across multiple sectors including real estate, building materials and construction, education, and financial services. <\/p>\n
