AMMAN — Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) has revealed that 96 per cent of the 159 listed companies that submitted their audited annual financial statements for 2025 recorded a 9.6 per cent increase in total pre-tax profits compared to 2024.

 

According to ASE figures released late last week, pre-tax profits for these companies reached JD3.269 billion in 2025, up from JD2.982 billion in the previous year.

 

After-tax net profits attributable to these firms rose by 12.9 per cent to JD2.348 billion in 2025, compared to JD2.08 billion in 2024. This performance marks the second-highest net profit in the history of ASE-listed companies.

 

Sectoral performance showed robust growth across the board. The financial sector’s net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 10.1 per cent, while the services sector saw an 11.4 per cent rise. The industrial sector outperformed others with an 18.4 per cent jump in profits.

 

The number of profitable companies grew to 110 in 2025, up from 106 in 2024, while the number of loss-making firms decreased from 46 to 42.

 

Several sub-sectors witnessed significant surges in net profits, led by real estate at 243.1 per cent, followed by hotels and tourism at 111.4 per cent, and electrical industries at 111.1 per cent. Other notable performers included transport (94.6 per cent), diversified financial services (82.7 per cent), textiles and leather (51.5 per cent), insurance (49.7 per cent), health services (47.5 per cent), educational services (46.7 per cent), pharmaceuticals and medical industries (31.5 per cent), and the mining and extraction industries (19.2 per cent).

 

These positive results and the upward trend in net profits for 2025 come despite regional challenges, signaling the resilience and positive trajectory of the national economy.

 

Analysts attribute the improvement to a strengthened investment environment bolstered by government stimulus measures. These factors contributed to a 3 per cent growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven largely by the agriculture, mining, and manufacturing sectors.
