Cairo – Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) Holding has solidified its position as Egypt’s leading listed real estate developer for 2026, according to rankings released by Forbes Middle East. This recognition follows a period of significant growth for the company, marked by increased market valuation and strategic expansion across the Middle East. The ranking underscores TMG’s influence in a rapidly evolving Egyptian property market and reflects growing investor confidence in the region.
The Forbes Middle East list, which identifies the top 50 companies in Egypt by market value, highlighted TMG’s robust financial performance, substantial growth in market capitalization and ambitious regional expansion initiatives. The company reported contractual sales of $8 billion during 2025, a significant figure demonstrating strong demand for its projects. TMG’s net profit experienced a notable 43% increase, reaching $381 million, signaling effective financial management and successful project execution. This success comes amidst a broader positive trend for the Egyptian Exchange (EGX), which saw a 40% increase in total market value by the end of January 2026 compared to the same period in the previous year.
TMG’s Regional Expansion and Project Portfolio
TMG’s influence extends beyond Egypt’s borders, with a growing portfolio of projects in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Iraq. This regional diversification strategy is a key component of the company’s long-term growth plan. In May 2025, TMG signed an agreement with Oman’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning to develop two large-scale, sustainable mixed-use projects near Sultan Haitham City, covering a combined area of 4.9 million square meters. Egypt Today reported that this investment exceeds $5 billion, demonstrating TMG’s commitment to the Omani market.
The company’s success in 2024 was particularly driven by the launch of the Banan project in Saudi Arabia and the SouthMed project on Egypt’s North Coast. These projects contributed to a nearly threefold increase in TMG’s bookings of future property sales, reaching $10 billion with approximately 30,000 units sold. TMG’s extensive land bank, totaling 115 million square meters across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, with an additional 14 million square meters planned in Iraq, provides a solid foundation for continued development and expansion. This substantial land reserve positions TMG favorably to capitalize on future opportunities in the regional real estate market.
Forbes Ranking and Market Value
According to Forbes Middle East’s methodology, the ranking of the top 50 Egyptian companies was based on their market value as of January 31, 2026, utilizing exchange rates from the same date. The total market value of the top 50 companies reached $55.8 billion, representing approximately 83% of the Egyptian Exchange’s (EGX) total market capitalization of $67.3 billion. The banking and financial services sector accounted for roughly 30% of the firms included in the top 50, but TMG distinguished itself as the leading real estate development company on the list.
Hesham Talaat Moustafa, CEO and Managing Director of TMG Holding, was also recognized by Forbes Middle East, being ranked 35th in the “Top 100 CEOs 2025” list. Forbes Middle East notes that Moustafa has been with TMG Holding for over 40 years, demonstrating a long-term commitment to the company’s success. His leadership has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of the regional real estate market and driving TMG’s growth trajectory.
