emirates7 - For the second year in a row, AD Ports Group has earned top recognition for its investor relations in the esteemed Extel survey, which ranks the best publicly listed companies across Emerging Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa (EEMEA).
The Group claimed first place in the Extel EEMEA Executive Team survey within the Large Cap Transportation Sector (companies with market capitalisation over US$5 billion), and ranked second overall in the ‘Most Honoured Companies’ list spanning all Small, Mid, and Large-Cap firms in the EEMEA region.
This year’s rankings were determined by feedback from 462 investment professionals—including buy-side analysts, fund managers, and sell-side research analysts—representing 264 financial institutions. Extel’s assessments are widely regarded as a benchmark for excellence in investor relations and capital markets.
AD Ports Group, which is 75% owned by Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ), ranked first in four out of seven relevant Extel regional categories, in addition to earning one second-place and one third-place ranking. The company was listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in February 2022.
The Group’s 2025 Capital Markets Day, held on 25th February at Khalifa Port, attracted a wide range of prominent investors from local, regional, and global markets, as well as top analysts from leading regional and international investment banks, underscoring the strong investor interest in AD Ports Group as one of the region’s few highly diversified, publicly traded firms.
“We are honoured to be recognised once again by Extel as one of the top listed companies across Emerging Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for our management transparency, communication standards, financial governance, and capital strategy, as well as the overall quality of our investor relations,” said Martin Aarup, Group Chief Financial Officer of AD Ports Group. “This recognition matters deeply to us because it is based on the informed evaluations of professionals within the global financial investment community, who define industry excellence.”
