MIDEAST STOCKS-Markets diverge on mixed results; Qatar, Egypt outperform | Reuters:



"Strong performances by property developers lifted Qatar's bourse on Tuesday, while Egypt rebounded after a pull-back prompted by violence in Sinai. Other markets in the region consolidated after mixed third-quarter earnings.



Dubai's index was nearly flat. Shares in logistics firm Aramex rose 0.3 percent after it reported a 16 percent rise in third-quarter net profit to 69.5 million dirhams ($18.95 million) on Monday.



Although the figure was lower than the average estimate of analysts polled by Reuters, who had expected 74.8 million dirhams, some analysts called it impressive. NBK Capital said in a note it was pleased with the numbers and maintained a "buy" recommendation on the stock."
