Management maintained full-year 2026 guidance for development sales at AED 45 billion to AED 49 billion, despite acknowledging potential risks due to ongoing geopolitical issues.
What management said
It's very difficult to say today, Steve, but like the situation is still evolving. And like I said, we are surely planning to continue our launch activity have we quantified exactly how much we're going to launch for the remainder of the year? No, which is why we said we are maintaining guidance and we'll come back to the market back in Q2 to see how things evolve.
I think we've had good sales at the beginning of the year, obviously, in January and February. But the recent events were not constrained to the UAE, right? It's affected sentiment globally. So again, in March, we did see a slowdown on sales as everybody is just waiting and seeing what's happening.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns regarding the impact of regional tensions on future sales and the ability to meet guidance. Specific questions focused on the risk of default rates and the pace of new launches in a cautious market environment.
