Lesha Bank’s Net Profit Rises 50.15% to QAR 210.4 Million in First Nine Months of 2026
Lesha Bank recorded a 50.15% increase in net profit for the first nine months of 2026, reaching QAR 210.425 million, compared with QAR 140.136 million in the corresponding period of 2025.
According to financial results published on the Qatar Stock Exchange website, earnings per share rose to QAR 0.188 for the period ended September 30, 2026, compared with QAR 0.125 a year earlier.
Sheikh Faisal bin Thani Al Thani, Chairman of Lesha Bank, said the results reflect the success of the bank’s strategic direction in building a balanced, asset-backed platform capable of generating resilient returns across market cycles.
He explained that the bank aims to build an institution that does not depend on a single market or asset class, adding that its consistent performance demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach. Its priority remains delivering long-term value, supported by strong governance, a firm commitment to Sharia principles and disciplined capital management.
Mohammed Ismail Al Emadi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Lesha Bank, said the nine-month performance reflects effective execution across all business segments. He noted that the bank selectively deployed capital into high-conviction investment opportunities, actively managed its existing investments and realised value when market conditions were favourable.
He added that the bank strengthened its pipeline of potential investment transactions, expanded co-investments and strategic partnerships, and grew its client base, contributing to higher assets under management and a more stable income base.
Al Emadi said the bank’s focus on securing quality transactions, combined with its strong capital position, leaves it well positioned to capitalise on opportunities during the final quarter of the year and beyond.
