The Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) index surged past the impressive 10,000-point milestone, reaching 10,065.85 points yesterday, up 1.84 percent from the previous close. This milestone was achieved thanks to a strong overall market rally of 181.68 points and broad-based investor confidence. All seven sectors on the QSE closed in the green, indicating widespread buying interest across the market.
The positive momentum was driven by sectors such as banks and financial services, industrials, transportation, real estate, insurance, telecoms, and consumer goods and services, all closing higher. Top gainers included Gulf Warehousing Company, QAMCO, Dukhan Bank, Qatar Industrial Manufacturing Company, and Qatar International Islamic Bank, which rose between 3.5% to 7.4%. Conversely, Beema, Islamic Insurance, The Investors, National Cement Company, and Baldana were the top losers, with declines between 0.4% to 1.5%.
The QSE Total Return Index increased by 1.84 percent to 24,873.97, while the QSE Al Rayan Islamic index rose 2.19 percent to 4,991.89 points, and the QSE All Share Index climbed 1.47 percent to 3,973.7 points. The net profits of companies listed on the QSE for the first nine months of 2026 stood at QR35 billion, down 14.71 percent year-over-year, as reported on the QSE website.
Despite this, a positive outlook persisted, with the QSE index and its sectors continuing to benefit from renewed investor confidence and broad-based sectoral gains.
