Bahrain Bourse has appointed SICO to provide independent equity research for 10 listed companies, aiming to boost market transparency and investor awareness.
Under the agreement, SICO will produce quarterly reports featuring financial analysis, valuation insights, and investment recommendations.
The move directly supports the Capital Market Development Strategy 2026-2028 by increasing the visibility of Bahraini firms among global and regional investors.
Bahrain Bourse chief executive officer Shaikh Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said the initiative strengthens the kingdom’s position as an attractive investment destination by providing the high-quality data necessary for informed decision-making.
SICO Group chief executive officer Najla Al Shirawi noted that the partnership reflects a shared commitment to market depth.
She added that research will be made widely available through digital channels, including the SICO Research app.
A pioneer in GCC sell-side research since 1995, SICO currently covers nearly 90 companies across 14 sectors.
Its team of Bahrain and UAE-based professionals will leverage extensive regional expertise to deliver the reports, which will be distributed via the Bahrain Bourse website and global financial platforms.
