BHM Capital reported revenue up 26,65% to AED 205,98 million.

Net profit rose 14,94% despite “global markets” facing choppy conditions.

Assets climbed to AED 2,01 billion, while equity surged 93,30%.

It opened 34,976 new accounts, about 40% of DFM totals.

The firm plans digital expansion and “innovative financial solutions” for 2026.

BHM Capital has delivered a strong set of results for the year ended 31 December 2025, underlining its growing weight in the UAE’s capital markets. The Dubai-based financial services firm reported solid gains across revenue, profit, assets and shareholder equity, as it continued to expand its brokerage, market-making and institutional businesses.

Total revenue climbed by 26.65% to AED 205.98 million, up from AED 162.63 million a year earlier. The increase was largely driven by higher trading activity, a broader suite of financial services and steady client acquisition across the UAE markets. In simple terms, more investors were trading, and BHM was right there facilitating the action.

Net profit rose as well, reaching AED 43.08 million, a 14.94% increase compared to AED 37.48 million in 2024. While not as sharp as revenue growth, it still signals healthier operations and tighter execution. In a year when global markets were anything but calm, that’s no small feat. I’ve seen enough cycles to know that keeping momentum when conditions are shaky is often what separates the serious players from the rest.

The balance sheet tells an equally striking story. Total assets expanded by 31.12% to AED 2.01 billion, compared with AED 1.54 billion the previous year. Even more eye-catching was the 93.30% surge in shareholders’ equity, which jumped to AED 509.24 million from AED 263.44 million. That kind of leap doesn’t happen by accident. It gives the company a stronger buffer and, importantly, more firepower for future growth.

Operationally, BHM Capital tightened its grip on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM). The firm opened 34,976 new trading accounts in 2025, accounting for around 40.45% of all new accounts opened on the exchange during the year, 86,473 in total. Nearly half the new retail wave choosing one platform is, well… I mean, that’s spot on performance. It also says something about how retail participation in the UAE continues to deepen, despite wider geopolitical and economic headwinds.

Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Officer Abdel Hadi Al Sa’di said the company’s 2025 performance reflects the strength of its business model and its commitment to delivering high-quality financial services that support the development of UAE capital markets. He noted that growth in revenue, assets and equity points to sustained client and partner confidence, even as global and regional markets navigate challenging conditions. He added that the firm remains optimistic about market prospects and intends to maintain its expansion drive.

Looking ahead, the company plans to broaden its market presence, enhance its digital platforms and introduce innovative financial solutions tailored to investors’ evolving needs. The ambition is to build on 2025’s momentum and deliver even stronger results in 2026.

BHM Capital operates as a private joint stock company listed on the DFM and regulated by the UAE Capital Market Authority. Over the years, it has positioned itself as one of the country’s top-ranked market players, with a particular focus on financial technology and tools for both corporate and individual investors.

From where I stand, and many Arageek readers will agree, numbers like these are more than just corporate braging rights. They reflect how the UAE’s financial ecosystem is maturing. More accounts, more liquidity, more competition. On the flip side, rapid growth always comes with pressure: scaling digital platforms, maintaining compliance, and keeping clients happy is no walk in the park.

Still, if 2025 is anything to go by, BHM Capital seems chuffed to bits with its trajectory. And in a region that continues to double down on capital markets as a growth engine, firms that can balance expansion with stability will likely stay ahead of the curve. I reckon 2026 will be an interesting year to watch.
