Dubai Investments targets higher dividend after DIP listing

Dubai Investments is likely to use part of the proceeds and liquidity generated from Dubai Investments Park’s (DIP) possible initial public offering on the emirate’s bourse to increase dividend payment for 2026.

In a filing to the Dubai Financial Market, the company clarified that it is evaluating plans to list 24 percent of DIP, its real estate unit, but no timeline has been finalised.

The company expects to have greater visibility on timing by May 15 based on its internal assessment and ongoing evaluation. However, the final schedule of the IPO will be determined following discussions with stakeholders, the statement said.

In September 2025, Dubai Investments CEO Khalid bin Kalban said the company was in talks with banks about a potential listing for DIP.

The company is also assessing potential listings for certain subsidiaries, including Glass LLC, the statement said.

In April last year, Kalban told AGBI that Dubai Investments was preparing to sell shares in four subsidiaries to the public.

Investment Corporation of Dubai, the emirate’s sovereign wealth fund, is the largest shareholder in Dubai Investments with an 11.5 percent stake.

The company’s stock closed 2.5 percent higher on Monday at AED4.11, up 12 percent in the year to date.
