(Bloomberg) — Equity markets in the Middle East were mixed as investors reacted to earnings reports throughout the region.

The benchmark in Qatar led losses as it fell 1%, with 75% of its members declining. Gauges in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Egypt also finished lower, while those in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman and Israel were higher.

In Dubai, construction company Arabtec Holding PJSC dropped as much as 8.6% after reporting a loss of 774 million dirhams ($211 million) for 2019, versus profit of 256 million dirhams the previous year. The company said that the slowing real estate sector resulted in limited new awards.

Earnings disclosed by Dubai real estate companies have been “soft” and provisioning within banks in the emirate are increasing, said Aarthi Chandrasekaran, a portfolio manager at Shuaa Capital. “The GCC banking sector outlook is a bit challenging for the near-term.”

In Riyadh, Saudi Aramco extended losses to a fifth consecutive session to end at 32.80 riyals, nearing the price the shares were sold in the world’s biggest offering last year. The oil giant plans to hold an earnings call for its first financial results as a listed entity on March 16.
