GCC IPO market holds firm, raising $2.5bln in Q2 2025
Saudi Arabia remained the most active market, accounting for 76% of IPO proceeds UAE indices outperformed other GCC indices with gains of 7% and 15% on ADX and DFM respectively over the quarter Bond and Sukuk issuance significantly higher than Q2 2024: $4.9 billion of bond issuance (vs. $0.5 billion in Q2 2024) $11.4 billion of Sukuk issuance (vs. $9.7 billion in Q2 2024) Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - PwC Middle East's latest IPO Watch report reveals that GCC equity markets continued to attract capital and investor interest in Q2 2025, raising $2.4 billion across 4 main market IPOs and 8 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% of IPO proceeds, supported by landmark listings like Flynas, the first airline IPO in the GCC in more than 15 years, and Specialized Medical Co., which raised $500 million in June. The Nomu market also remained robust, with 8 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% and 7% 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% due to a ~20% 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.

Dubai sees 14% jump in Q2 2025 residential values
The cost of buying real estate in Dubai has significantly gone up on the back of strong investor interest and high influx of millionaires. Residential property values in the emirate went up by 14% during the second quarter of the year, as the economy continued to pick up, state reforms boost home ownership trends and high-net-worth individual (HNWI) population expanded, according to CBRE Middle East. Leading the growth in values are properties in premium neighbourhoods which continue to record significant increases. The first six months of the year demonstrated high buying activity within the residential real estate market, particularly in the off-plan segment, with overall transactions rising by 23% year-on-year. Sales during the period totalled AED 270 billion. The commercial real estate services and investment firm said that initiatives like Dubai's 'First-Time Home Buyer Program' have stimulated property demand and encouraged home ownership. 'The UAE is poised to attract a record number of millionaire migrants in 2025, fuelling demand, particularly in the luxury and off-plan sectors,' CBRE noted. The UAE's millionaire population has expanded in the last few years, as many HNWIs left wealth hotspots overseas. This year, more than 9,800 millionaires are expected to relocate to the UAE, according to Henley & Partners. (Writing by Cleofe Maceda; editing by Seban Scaria)

MIAX-parent Miami International's US IPO filing reveals wider quarterly loss
July 18 (Reuters) - MIAX-parent Miami International Holdings on Friday reported a wider quarterly loss in its filing for a U.S. initial public offering, as investor interest in IPOs shows signs of revival. The U.S. IPO market, which faced a steep decline during the April selloff driven by volatile trade policies, has recently seen renewed activity, with high-profile debuts. In the past month, stablecoin issuer Circle Internet (CRCL.N), opens new tab and digital bank Chime Financial (CHYM.O), opens new tab were warmly received on their market debuts. The Princeton, New Jersey-based exchange operator disclosed a net loss of $21.4 million for the three months ended March 31, compared to a loss of $5 million in the same period last year. Total revenue for the quarter rose to $327.1 million from $272.9 million a year earlier. Details regarding the terms of the IPO, however, were not included in the filing. Proceeds from Miami International's offering will be allocated to debt repayment, acquisitions, or investments in businesses and technologies, the company said. Healthcare firm Heartflow and space and defense company Firefly also filed for IPOs earlier this month. Miami International launched its first exchange, MIAX, for options trading in December 2012, leveraging management expertise in the equity options market. MIAX operates nine exchanges that provide access to U.S. multi-list options and equities, futures via the MIAX Futures Exchange, and international capital markets through the Bermuda Stock Exchange (BSX) and The International Stock Exchange (TISE), according to its website. The company plans to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "MIAX". Morgan Stanley and Piper Sandler are the lead underwriters for the offering.
