RIYADH: Listed companies on Amman Stock Exchange posted a 12.9 percent increase in net profits for 2025, reflecting what the exchange described as one of the strongest performances in its history.
According to the bourse, after-tax profits attributable to shareholders rose to 2.35 billion Jordanian dinars ($3.3 billion), compared with 2.08 billion dinars in 2024, marking the second-highest level of net earnings ever recorded by listed firms.
The results come as Jordan’s economy shows signs of steady recovery, supported by improving macroeconomic fundamentals, stronger external inflows, and rising investor confidence despite ongoing regional uncertainty.
CEO of Amman Stock Exchange Mazen Wathaifi said that 96 percent of the exchange’s 159 listed companies had submitted their audited financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025, within the specified deadline through the XBRL electronic disclosure system.
He said the high compliance rate shows the extent of listed companies’ commitment to applicable laws and instructions and reflects adherence to disclosure and transparency standards.
Data cited by Amman Stock Exchange show that the country’s economy expanded by 3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025, while national exports rose by 9.9 percent and tourism income increased by 7.6 percent over the year.
Foreign direct investment climbed by 25.1 percent, reflecting increased investor confidence, and remittances from Jordanians abroad grew by 4.5 percent to reach $4.5 billion.
Wathaifi said the positive results were achieved despite challenging regional conditions and point to a positive upward trajectory of the national economy and its resilience, recovery, and ability to adapt.
Pre-tax profits for the reporting companies reached 3.27 billion dinars in 2025, compared with 2.98 billion dinars a year earlier, representing a 9.6 percent increase. On a sectoral basis, after-tax profits rose by 10.1 percent in the financial sector, 11.4 percent in services, and 18.4 percent in the industrial sector.
Under listing regulations, Wathaifi said all listed companies are required to submit audited financial statements within specified deadlines, noting that the exchange has published the disclosures on its official website.
He added that trading in several companies was suspended from April 1 for failing to submit their audited financials on time.
