The bank reported net profit of QAR407 million for the first half of 2026, up from QAR402 million a year earlier, it said in July.

First-quarter profit was QAR236 million, up 2.8% from QAR229 million in the first quarter of 2025, the bank said in April.

Sheikh Faisal Bin AbdulAziz Bin Jassim Al-Thani, the bank’s chairman, said in July that the bank was focused on executing its long-term strategy and remained well positioned despite geopolitical developments.

In June, Moody’s affirmed the bank’s long-term local and foreign currency deposit ratings at A2 with a stable outlook, the bank said. Fitch maintained its long-term issuer default rating at A.

Fitch’s Rating Watch Negative on the bank is aligned with the watch on Qatar’s sovereign rating and on all Qatari banks, the lender said.

Ahli Bank’s shares trade on the QSE under the ticker ABQK. The bank had not published a results statement with management commentary for the nine-month period as of Tuesday morning.
