Dubai, UAE – May 07, 2025:

With strong fundamentals, real estate and construction stocks continue to capture investor attention across the UAE. According to eToro’s recent Retail Investor Beat survey, 52.5% of investors see real estate and construction as the most promising sector over the next 12 months, ahead of even the fast-growing technology sector, which came in at 42%.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s property markets remain two of the hottest globally, fuelled by population growth, foreign investment, and demand for premium developments. This strength has translated into solid returns for listed developers in the last year, such as Emaar Properties (+72%) and Aldar (+40%). Aldar’s Q1 results, reported in late April, showed why this real estate is attracting investor attention with a 33% rise in net profit and a 42% jump in development sales. What’s helping businesses like Aldar and Emaar is the UAE’s stable economic environment, which continues to support their growth.
