  • UAE's G42 and private equity company Silver Lake have supported Bayanat AI Plc's $171M IPO, with Bayanat selling shares at AED 1.10. G42, an artificial intelligence company with operations in the energy and healthcare sectors, now owns 77% of Bayanat following the offering. 
  • After initially rising as high as 309%, shares of the geospatial and data analytics company controlled by Abu Dhabi's G42 climbed 241% to AED 3.75 by Monday. The launch gives Bayanat a valuation of $2B and puts it on track for the greatest first-day performance internationally for IPOs raising at least $100M this year.

Why it matters

The company recorded AED 490.6M in revenue and an AED 225.9M profit for the nine months ending in September. The IPO is the newest indication of the robust investor interest in listings in the Gulf.
