Etisalat reports 46 percent net profit growth for first nine months of 2026

Etisalat has released its financial results for the first nine months of 2026, showing a consolidated net profit of 17.2 billion AED. This figure represents a 46 percent rise compared to the same period in 2025, signaling a period of strong financial performance.

Revenue for the nine-month period reached 57.6 billion AED, reflecting a 10.0 percent year-over-year increase. The growth follows continued demand for digital and telecommunications services across the group’s operational footprint.

These results arrive as the telecommunications sector faces pressure to balance infrastructure investment with profitability. Analysts note that Etisalat's ability to drive bottom-line growth despite inflationary pressures remains a key indicator of its market position heading into the final quarter of the year.
