services, healthcare, energy, and real estate, with a market capitalization of AED3.12 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><strong>Operations:<\/strong> Revenue from private investments, excluding Waha Land, amounts to AED152.39 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Waha Capital, a notable player in the Middle Eastern investment landscape, showcases a mixed financial profile. Over the past five years, its debt to equity ratio has impressively dropped from 135.2% to 73.9%, indicating prudent financial management. The net debt to equity ratio stands at a satisfactory 0.6%, reflecting robust capital structure despite recent earnings challenges with a -44.3% growth rate against an industry average of 2.2%. While its P\/E ratio of 10.5x suggests undervaluation compared to the AE market&#8217;s 13.4x, the company faces hurdles with declining revenues and net income in Q1 2025 compared to last year\u2019s figures (AED329M vs AED465M).<\/p>\n<p>       <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"ADX:WAHA Earnings and Revenue Growth as at Aug 2025\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"613\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-1gfnohs loader\"\/> ADX:WAHA Earnings and Revenue Growth as at Aug 2025         <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><strong>Simply Wall St Value Rating:<\/strong> \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><strong>Overview:<\/strong> Saudi Reinsurance Company offers a range of reinsurance products across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and internationally, with a market capitalization of SAR5.26 billion.<\/p>\n<p> Story Continues <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><strong>Operations:<\/strong> The company&#8217;s primary revenue streams are derived from Property and Casualty reinsurance, generating SAR1.16 billion, and Life and Health reinsurance, contributing SAR47.11 million. Additionally, it benefits from investment income calculated using the effective interest rate amounting to SAR76.78 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Saudi Reinsurance has shown impressive earnings growth of 229.9% in the past year, outpacing the insurance industry&#8217;s -18.2%. With a solid EBIT covering interest payments 116 times over, its financial health appears robust. Despite an increase in debt to equity ratio from 0% to 2.7% over five years, it has more cash than total debt, indicating strong liquidity. The recent reinsurance contract with Tawuniya Insurance is set to boost revenue by over SAR 5%, enhancing its market position further. Trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 11x, it offers good value compared to the broader SA market&#8217;s average of 20x.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"SASE:8200 Debt to Equity as at Aug 2025\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"615\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-1gfnohs loader\"\/> SASE:8200 Debt to Equity as at Aug 2025     <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><strong>Simply Wall St Value Rating:<\/strong> \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><strong>Overview:<\/strong> Isrotel Ltd. operates and manages a chain of hotels in Israel with a market capitalization of \u20aa6.27 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><strong>Operations:<\/strong> The primary revenue stream for Isrotel comes from its Hotels &amp; Motels segment, generating \u20aa1.96 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Isrotel, a notable player in the hospitality sector, stands out with its recent earnings growth of 6.8%, surpassing the industry average of -6.5%.
