AD Ports Group Secures Top Position For Investor Relations In Extel EEMEA Survey For Second Year

AD Ports Group has once again been acknowledged for its outstanding investor relations, securing top positions in the Extel survey. This recognition highlights the company's excellence among listed firms in Emerging Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa (EEMEA). The Group achieved first place in the Large Cap Transportation Sector and second place overall in the 'Most Honoured Companies' category.

The company, primarily owned by Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ), excelled in four out of seven Extel regional categories. It also secured a second and third place in other categories. AD Ports Group's shares were introduced to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in February 2022, marking a significant milestone.

The Extel survey results are based on feedback from 462 investment professionals, including buy-side analysts, fund managers, and sell-side research analysts from 264 financial services firms. These rankings are highly regarded within capital markets and investor relations circles.

On 25th February, AD Ports Group hosted its 2025 Capital Markets Day at Khalifa Port. This event attracted numerous local, regional, and international investors. Key sell-side analysts from leading investment banks covering UAE equities were also present, showcasing strong interest in AD Ports Group's securities.

Martin Aarup, Group Chief Financial Officer of AD Ports Group, expressed satisfaction with their recognition by Extel for two consecutive years. He stated: "We are pleased to be recognised for the second consecutive year by Extel as one of the leading listed companies in Emerging Europe, the Middle East, and Africa when it comes to management credibility, communication, financial stewardship, and capital location, as well as the quality of our investor relations."

Recognition Based on Expert Opinions

Aarup further emphasised that their performance in the 2025 rankings is crucial as it reflects expert opinions from professionals within the international financial investment community. These experts set high standards of excellence in their field.

The recognition underscores AD Ports Group's commitment to maintaining strong management credibility and effective communication with investors. As one of the few broadly diversified publicly traded companies in the GCC region, AD Ports continues to attract significant attention from investors worldwide.
