**Implied Volatility / Movement:** NORMAL Action Energy Company K.S.C.P. reported robust financial performance in the first half of 2026, with revenue climbing 34.4% year-over-year to KWD 18.1 million. The Kuwait-based energy firm also saw its EBITDA increase by 28.3% to KWD 9.0 million, and net profit surged 96.6% to KWD 4.4 million. These results highlight the company's financial momentum and the broader resilience of Kuwait's national oil companies in navigating regional complexities, according to Vice Chairman Eng. Rawaf Bourisli.
Bourisli emphasized Action Energy's commitment to supporting Kuwait's upstream energy sector and its ambition to boost production capacity to four million barrels per day by 2035. The company's contracted backlog has reached a record approximately US$1.1 billion, primarily with Kuwait Oil Company, providing strong revenue visibility. Approximately 39% of this backlog consists of integrated, high-value oilfield services, expected to be a key growth driver in the latter half of 2026 and early 2027.
Further diversifying its operations, Action Energy is expanding internationally through a joint venture with Kellton to deploy AI solutions for well control digitalization. This venture plans to open its first regional office in Doha in Q3 2026, a move aimed at modernizing operations for energy operators across the GCC. The company also recommended its first interim cash dividend of 3 fils per share, signaling a focus on shareholder value.
