Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Bank Of Sharjah P.J.S.C., along with its subsidiaries, offers commercial and investment banking products and services in the United Arab Emirates, with a market capitalization of AED3.63 billion.

Operations: The primary revenue streams for Bank Of Sharjah include interest income from loans and advances, as well as fees and commissions from banking services. The company's cost structure is significantly influenced by interest expenses related to deposits and borrowings. Notably, the net profit margin has shown variability over recent periods.

Bank of Sharjah showcases a compelling profile with total assets of AED54.7 billion and equity at AED4.7 billion, suggesting a solid foundation. The bank's earnings surged by 81.9% over the past year, outpacing the industry average of 20.3%, highlighting its robust performance in a competitive landscape. However, it grapples with a high level of bad loans at 8.8%, which could be concerning for potential investors despite having low-risk funding sources making up 81% of liabilities primarily from customer deposits. Its price-to-earnings ratio stands attractively at 4.7x compared to the AE market's average of 11.1x, indicating potential undervaluation in this small cap space.

Despite this growth, net income for Q1 2026 fell to TRY 66.36 million from TRY 93.62 million a year prior, while sales increased to TRY 5,374.76 million from TRY 4,979.52 million in the same period last year. The company trades at a significant discount of 37% below its estimated fair value and boasts high-quality earnings; however, interest payments are not well-covered by EBIT at just 0.9x coverage ratio.
