DIP Holding, a subsidiary of Dubai Investments PJSC, announced on 4 November 2026 that it has set the final offer price for its initial public offering at AED 1.12 per share, following the completion of its subscription and bookbuilding process on 3 November. The offering is valued at approximately AED 1.9 billion, implying a market capitalisation of AED 9.7 billion upon listing on the Dubai Financial Market.
The IPO attracted strong demand from local, regional and international investors, with subscriptions exceeding the shares available multiple times across the previously announced price range. The offering comprises 1,735,243,300 ordinary shares, representing 20% of DIP Holding’s issued share capital. All shares being offered are existing shares sold by Dubai Investments, which will retain an 80% ownership stake following completion of the transaction.
DIP Holding operates Dubai Investments Park through its wholly owned subsidiary, Dubai Investments Park Development Company. The business manages a 23 million square metre development comprising industrial, logistics, residential and commercial properties. Its operating model focuses on long-term ground leases and infrastructure-related services, providing recurring income supported by established tenant relationships.
At the final offer price, DIP Holding’s expected annualised cash dividend of AED 725 million for the financial year 2027 implies a dividend yield of approximately 7.5%. The company has outlined an annual dividend policy targeting AED 700 million for 2026, AED 725 million for 2027 and AED 750 million for 2028, subject to board recommendations, shareholder approvals and applicable regulatory requirements.
The first post-IPO dividend distribution is expected in April 2027, with a planned payment of AED 350 million relating to the entire second half of 2026. Subsequent distributions of AED 362.5 million each are expected in October 2027 and April 2028, covering the first and second halves of 2027. For 2028, the company anticipates two payments of AED 375 million each, scheduled for October 2028 and April 2029.
The company expects to announce final share allocations for individual investors, eligible Dubai Investments employees and eligible Dubai Investments shareholders on 10 November 2026. Refunds of surplus subscription amounts are also scheduled to commence on the same date. Trading on the Dubai Financial Market is expected to begin on 11 November 2026 under the ticker symbol DIP, subject to market conditions and regulatory approvals.
DIP Holding Chairman Khalid Jassim Bin Kalban highlighted the strong investor response and the company’s recurring-income business model, while Chief Executive Officer Omar AlMesmar emphasised its focus on sustainable growth, cash generation and long-term shareholder returns. The final pricing reflects Dubai Investments’ stated intention to provide new shareholders with an attractive entry point while supporting the company’s long-term development.
The offering marks the UAE’s first initial public offering of 2026 and represents another addition to the Dubai Financial Market’s listed real estate and infrastructure-related businesses. Following the planned listing, DIP Holding will operate as a separately traded company while remaining majority-owned by Dubai Investments. Its future performance will depend on the stability of its recurring income, operational execution and the development of Dubai Investments Park.
