"We maintain BUY rating on SIB with a target price of AED 3.85. SIB recorded strong growth in profitability in 2Q26, driven by effective management execution and the successful implementation of its profit-generating strategies. Furthermore, net advances increased 16.0% YOY and 6.7% QOQ to AED 49.9 Bn in 2Q26. This growth highlights the Bank's steadfast commitment to providing Islamic financial services and fostering sectoral growth," analysts said in a first look note published Tuesday.
