Largest Listed Companies in the UAE by Market Capitalization

Three stock exchanges serve the United Arab Emirates: the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), founded in November 2000, the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), launched in March 2000, and Nasdaq Dubai, which opened in 2005 inside the Dubai International Financial Centre. Together, ADX and DFM list roughly 170 companies, while Nasdaq Dubai adds an internationally oriented venue regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority. DFM holds a notable distinction as the first financial market in the world established under Islamic Sharia principles.

The largest listed companies in the UAE span several sectors:

  • Diversified conglomerates: International Holding Company (IHC), founded in 1998 and listed on ADX, operates over 400 subsidiaries across real estate, healthcare, energy, IT, and retail. Alpha Dhabi Holding is another major conglomerate tied to the IHC group.
  • Energy & utilities: Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) and ADNOC Gas, both on ADX, along with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) on DFM.
  • Banking: First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the UAE’s largest bank by assets, trades on ADX, while Emirates NBD — Dubai’s flagship bank — is listed on DFM.
  • Telecommunications: Emirates Telecommunications Group (e&, formerly Etisalat) on ADX.
  • Real estate: Emaar Properties on DFM, the developer behind Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.

All trading on ADX and DFM takes place in UAE Dirhams (AED). The main benchmarks are the ADX General Index (FADGI) and the DFM General Index (DFMGI), alongside the cross-market UAE 50 Index covering the top 50 UAE and Gulf-region listed companies.
