Abu Dhabi Mega-Lenders May Bring More Pain to 3 Dubai Stocks - Bloomberg:
Banks based in Abu Dhabi are expected to put more pressure on stocks that have already taken a beating in neighboring Dubai.
A merger between Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank PJSC and Union National Bank PJSC on May 1 could draw around $193 million from investors who track benchmarks compiled by MSCI Inc. and FTSE Russell, according to Mohamad Al Hajj, an equities strategist at EFG-Hermes Holding.
The combined entity will later acquire a privately-held bank, creating a lender with around $114 billion in assets, and could trigger the ouster of three stocks in Dubai from MSCI’s benchmarks, he wrote in a report.
