du announced robust financial results, with revenue reaching AED 15.9 billion, reflecting steady growth driven by increasing demand for mobile services, fixed broadband, and enterprise connectivity solutions. Net profit rose to approximately AED 2.9 billion, highlighting the company’s improved operational efficiency and strong market demand. As a result of this performance, du approved a record dividend distribution of 64 fils per share, marking the highest dividend in the company’s history and reinforcing investor confidence in its long-term strategy.
Beyond financial success, du is increasingly focusing on sustainability and technology-driven initiatives. In collaboration with Ericsson and Alshaya Group, the telecom operator launched the Ericsson Connected Recycling platform, an innovative digital system designed to track waste streams and promote circular economy practices. The initiative enables businesses to monitor, recover, and recycle materials more efficiently through mobile and web-based tools, supporting the UAE’s sustainability ambitions while demonstrating how telecommunications networks can contribute to environmental responsibility.
du is also expanding its influence in enterprise technology and government digital transformation. The company recently hosted a high-level forum titled “Unleashing the Power of Sovereign Cloud for Modern Government,” bringing together technology leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss the role of secure cloud infrastructure in public sector modernization. The event highlighted the importance of sovereign cloud capabilities, regulatory compliance, and artificial intelligence-driven services for governments seeking to enhance digital services for citizens and businesses.
Infrastructure development remains a key pillar of du’s long-term strategy. The company has been selected as a landing partner for the SING subsea cable system, a major international telecommunications project that will enhance connectivity between Asia, Europe, and Africa. By participating in this large-scale infrastructure initiative, du is helping strengthen the UAE’s role as a regional digital gateway and improving international data capacity to support growing internet traffic and cloud demand.
At the same time, du’s UAE-IX internet exchange, powered by DE-CIX, recently recorded a peak traffic level of 1 terabit per second, a milestone that highlights the rapid growth of data consumption across the region. The exchange connects global content providers, telecom operators, and cloud companies, enabling faster and more efficient internet connectivity for businesses and consumers across the Middle East.
While du’s achievements in financial growth, infrastructure development, and technology innovation demonstrate its leadership in the telecommunications sector, customer feedback across digital platforms suggests that maintaining strong service quality and customer support remains an ongoing priority. As the telecom market becomes increasingly competitive, delivering reliable connectivity and responsive service will be essential for sustaining long-term customer loyalty.
Overall, du’s latest developments illustrate a company that is evolving beyond traditional telecommunications services into a broader digital infrastructure provider. Through investments in connectivity, cloud technology, sustainability initiatives, and international data networks, du continues to play a central role in shaping the UAE’s digital economy and supporting the country’s ambitions to become a global technology hub.
