Mr. Mazen Wathaifi Chief Executive Officer of Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) said that 99% out of 154 listed companies have provided the ASE with their reviewed quarterly financial statements for the period ended 30/09/2026 within the specified period, through the e- disclosure system XBRL. This high percentage reflects the compliance of listed companies with the laws and regulations, and the compliance of such companies with the principles of transparency and disclosure.

Mr. Wathaifi added that all listed companies on the ASE should provide their reviewed interim financial statements within the specified period, according to the Directives for Listing Securities on the ASE. He also confirmed that the ASE posts these financial statements on the ASE website www.exchange.jo under Circulars and Disclosures/ Quarterly reports window.

He said that profits after tax attributable to the company's shareholders for the Nine-Months of 2026 for the public shareholding companies listed on the ASE that provided their financial statements increased to reach JD1,776.2 million, compared to JD1,694.8 million for the nine months of 2025, an increase of 4.8%. The profits before tax for these companies also increased, reaching JD2,473.7 million for the nine months of 2026, compared to JD2,356.0 million for the nine months of 2025, an increase of 5.0%.

In terms of sectors, profits after tax attributable to the company's shareholders for the nine months of 2026 for the services sector increased by 66.0%, and the financial sector increased by 4.7%, while the industrial sector Decreased by 9.6%.

 Wathaifi noted that the ASE's upward trajectory, which continues the positive performance of its indices in 2025, reflects the resilience of economic performance and the national economy's capacity to adapt to various challenges. He pointed out that, in recognition of this strong performance in 2025, the ASE was awarded the Arab Federation of Capital Markets annual award for the best Arab exchange in terms of price index growth, and ranked thirteenth globally according to Bloomberg data on financial market performance, further strengthening its regional and international standing.

He added that the ASE has recorded remarkable performance since the start of 2026. The ASE General Index (ASEGI) increased by 14.0% to reach 4,117.3 points, compared with the end of 2025, the ASE20 Index increased by 12.3%, and the ASE Total Return Index (ASETR) increased by 18.2%. Total trading value increased by 55.8%, compared with the same period of the last year, while the average daily trading value increased to JD 13.4 million, compared with JD 8.8 million during the same period in 2025.

The market capitalization of listed companies increased by 9.1% to reach JD 28.9 billion, reflecting a notable improvement in market activity and a recovery in investor confidence. These results are underpinned by growing confidence in the national economy, which has shown resilience and adaptability amid difficult regional and international conditions, achieving positive indicators, and implementing Economic Modernization Vision projects and major national initiatives, supported by stimulus and prudential policies aimed at supporting economic activity and the national capital market amid these circumstances. The national economy recorded a growth rate of 2.9% in the first half of 2026, national exports increased by 6.2% over the same period, and workers' remittances increased by 14.1% during the first seven months of the year. In addition, inflation remained within moderate levels, and the Central Bank's foreign reserves increased to more than $28.5 billion. These factors contributed to improved performance across various economic sectors further strengthening investor confidence and enhancing the attractiveness of both the national economy and the Amman Stock Exchange as investment destinations.

He indicated that, the trading in the shares of Tuhama For Financial Investments Company (THMA) will continue to be restricted, for failing to provide the ASE with its reviewed interim financial statements for the period ended 30/9/2026, in addition to the financial statements for the period ended 30/6/2026.
