9/2/24, 11:57 AM Al Ramz Investment Maintains an 'Overweight' Rating on Salik, Driven by Strong Growth Expectations and it's Stable Dividend Policy
Two New Toll Gates to Drive Further Growth
One of the main reasons for optimism about Salik lies in the addition of the
two new toll gates, Business Bay and Al Safa South, expected to be onstream
by the end of November, worth a combined AED 2.73 billion ($743 million),
according to a concession agreement with Dubai’s Roads and Transport
Authority (RTA). This will continue to solidify Salik’s position in the market and
complement the robust GDP growth in Dubai.
Long-term Concession and Payment Structure
Salik was granted a 49-year concession of its eight older toll gates two years
ago, just before its IPO in September 2022. Under this arrangement, the firm
will be paying annual compensation to RTA amounting to AED 455.7 million,
which would be divided into two equal installments of AED 227.9 million each
after every six months.
