The Tecom stock, which was sold at Dh2.67 a share had volumes of 28 million plus shares traded in the first 30 minutes.
Net profit for 2019-21 stayed at Dh633.59 million, Dh579.08 million, and Dh568.83 million, respectively. Solid numbers given that for two of those years, there was the pandemic to deal with and what it meant for the way Tecom’s tenants wanted to work.

These include the consistently in-demand Dubai Internet City and Media City, and the emerging Dubai Design District.
