GB Corp delivered a solid start to 2026, with consolidated revenues reaching EGP 21,570.8 million in 1Q26, up 28.7% y-o-y. Performance was driven by continued strength in Egypt's automotive market, broad-based growth across GB Auto's lines of business, robust expansion across GB Capital's financing platforms, and sustained execution of the Group's strategic priorities.

Consolidated revenues rose 28.7% year-on-year to EGP 21,570.8 million in 1Q26, supported by broad-based growth across both the Auto and Capital segments. Performance was driven by continued strength in Egypt's automotive market, improving consumer demand, and sustained momentum across GB Capital's financing platforms.

Gross profit increased 4.8% year-on-year to EGP 2,883.5 million in 1Q26, while gross profit margin stood at 13.4%, reflecting the impact of the challenging regional market conditions and the ongoing conflict on the Auto segment, despite healthy demand and solid profitability in Egypt.

Net profit reached EGP 435.8 million in 1Q26, down 30.4% year-on-year with a net profit margin of 2.0%, reflecting higher finance costs and provisions, alongside the effect of regional challenges on group profitability. This was partially offset by stronger investment gains from associates and foreign exchange gains during the quarter

GB Auto delivered solid growth across all lines of business, with Egypt remaining the key growth driver, supported by lower interest rates, recovering demand, and continued product mix optimization.

In Passenger Cars, GB Auto maintained its strong performance in Egypt driven by the diversified product offerings across CKD and New Energy Vehicles, where the group holds an 18.2% share across its different brands and a 44.7% share in the Range Extended EV (REEV) segment, with Deepal leading the segment and Li Auto in the top four positions. Meanwhile, Changan's first CKD SUV is among the top five players in its segment

GB Capital continued to deliver strong growth, with revenues rising 66.8% year-on-year to EGP 4,178.1 million and net profit after tax and minority interest increasing 166.6% year-on-year to EGP 332.4 million in 1Q26. GB Capital's on-book loan portfolio reached EGP 21.6 billion as of 1Q26, up 44.4% year-on-year, while the NPL ratio stood at 2.5%.

GB Lease & Factoring continued to scale, with its aggregate portfolio reaching a record EGP 14.9 billion, supported by continued growth in both leasing and factoring, new financing facilities, and exceptionally low NPLs of below 0.03%.

Drive Finance maintained strong growth across both auto loans and BNPL, with its aggregate portfolio reaching EGP 14.9 billion, supported by deeper market penetration, improved execution, and continued funding diversification

MNT-Halan delivered solid year-on-year growth in 1Q26, with revenues up 50% supported by strong momentum in Turkey and Pakistan, alongside continued execution of its regional expansion strategy

The NZX 50 fell 38 points, or 0.3%, to close at 13,025 on Thursday, retreating for the third consecutive session and marking its lowest level since May 4, mainly driven by losses in the energy, consumer staples, and healthcare sectors. Wednesday's RBNZ quarterly survey, which highlighted expectations of higher inflation, interest rates, and unemployment, along with weaker growth for the coming year, continued to pressure sentiment. Investor sentiment was further subdued ahead of the release of New Zealand’s food inflation data and manufacturing PMI scheduled for Friday. Markets are also monitoring the summit between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, which begins today, amid hopes of easing trade tensions. Air New Zealand slumped 5.8% after the firm warned of its biggest loss in four years due to higher fuel costs amid the Middle East crisis. Other major losers included A2 Milk (-3.7%), Mainfreight (-2.3%), and Turners Automotive Group (-2.3%).

Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 edged up to close at 8,641 on Thursday, snapping a four-session losing streak as gains in consumer durables, process industries, and industrial services lifted sentiment. Optimism improved after President Donald Trump, speaking at a Beijing summit with Xi Jinping, said U.S.–China ties would become “better than ever before,” with talks set to cover trade, tariffs, Taiwan, and Iran through Friday. Locally, focus turned to the 2026/27 federal budget. Commonwealth Bank analysts noted sizeable savings alongside substantial new spending, but judged the fiscal plan unlikely to shift the Reserve Bank’s near-term policy outlook or meaningfully ease inflation. Three of the big four banks advanced, while BHP Group (1.1%), Macquarie (2.8%), and Insurance Australia Group (3.3%) also strengthened. In contrast, Lynas Rare Earths slumped 10.4% as investors unwound the geopolitical premium in critical minerals amid renewed U.S.–China diplomatic engagement.

New yuan loans by Chinese banks fell by a net CNY 10 billion in April of 2026, contrasting with the net CNY 285 billion extended in the corresponding period of the previous year and market expectations of a net CNY 300 billion increase. Likewise, aggregate financing, a broad measure of credit flows, fell to a net CNY 620 billion in the period, the lowest in two years and well under forecasts of a CNY 1.5 trillion net increase. The figure point to a slowdown in the issuance of new bonds from the central and local governments in China, reflecting pressure in credit demand as aggregate demand in China remains sluggish despite the signals of incoming stimulus measures.

Data released by the National Planning Council showed that the inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) positions increased at the end of 2025 to reach QAR 165.4 billion, registering a 2 percent rise compared to the end of the previous year.

In the same context, the outward FDI positions increased at the end of 2025 to reach QAR 210 billion, registering an 8.1 percent rise compared to the end of the previous year.

The National Planning Council released the results of Qatar's FDI Survey for 2025, conducted in collaboration with the Qatar Central Bank. The results present preliminary estimates of FDI positions for the period from January to December 2025. The survey scope is confined to privately owned companies and selected semi-governmental enterprises operating within the State, while excluding public sector investments and international financial activities carried out by individuals. Survey findings are consolidated with data from Qatar Central Bank, covering all monetary financial institutions, including banks, insurers, and other regulated financial entities.

The survey results indicate that the net FDI stock in 2025 reached QAR 44.6 billion, an increase of QAR 12.4 billion over 2024, representing a growth rate of 39 percent. This is driven by Outward FDI stocks exceeding Inward FDI stocks.

The survey covers a representative sample of approximately 200 private-sector enterprises, as well as selected government-owned companies, and includes data from financial institutions supervised by the Qatar Central Bank.

Survey results indicate that Inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows increased at the end of 2025 by 2 percent compared to the previous year 2024, reaching approximately QAR 165.4 billion. This increase reflects growth in the stock of FDI by local enterprises in the State of Qatar, under significant influence from foreign companies, indicating an inflow of FDI into the national economy during the reference period.

This growth indicates a high level of confidence among foreign investors in Qatar's economy, supported by a stable, enabling business environment underpinned by clear economic policies and development plans that have strengthened Qatar’s position as a regional and international investment destination. This performance aligns with the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030, regarding the enhancement of economic development, diversification of production, and boosting economic competitiveness.

More than 90 percent of Inward FDI positions were concentrated in five main economic activities: mining and quarrying (44.9 percent), financial and insurance activities (28.4 percent), manufacturing (13.9 percent), professional, scientific and technical activities (4.1 percent), and information and communication (3.0 percent).

This distribution highlights the strength of strategic economic sectors in attracting foreign investment and the growing contribution of value-added activities, reflecting continued progress toward economic diversification. The concentration of foreign direct investment in mining, financial services, and manufacturing further underscores the pivotal role of core and value-added sectors in supporting economic activity and attracting foreign capital.

The Outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) positions (the stock of investment controlled by Qatar-based companies abroad) increased at the end of 2025 by 8.1 percent compared with 2024, reaching QAR 210 billion.

This increase reflects the expanding role of Qatar's Outward FDI in international markets and the growing presence of Qatari investments in the global investment landscape.

More than 90 percent of Outward FDI positions were concentrated in five economic activities: financial and insurance activities (34 percent), mining and quarrying (27.8 percent), information and communication (11.5 percent), accommodation and food service activities (9.6 percent), and arts, entertainment, and recreation (6.9 percent). Additionally, more than 60 percent of Qatar’s investments abroad are directed to Arab countries (32 percent) and European countries (31.2 percent).

This distribution underscores the development of Qatar's financial sector and its growing role as a key driver of foreign direct investment, reinforcing the country's position on the regional and international investment map.
