The study dealt with the subject of the profitability of companies listed on the Dubai Financial Market in light of the crisis of the Covid 19 pandemic, as the study aimed to verify whether or not there is an impact of the pandemic on the profitability of the companies under study by addressing the main problem about knowing the extent to which the various sectors listed in the market are affected by the pandemic. The descriptive approach was adopted for the theoretical aspect, while for the practical side, the earnings per share were adopted as an indicator of profitability, which was extracted from the financial statements of companies which have been published on the website of the Dubai Financial Market. The study was able to include (53) companies from different sectors for which data was available, and (9) listed companies were excluded due to the lack of data about them, as they did not announce their annual business results when conducting this study. After collecting and analyzing data and testing the two hypotheses of the study using the statistical program (SPSS) version (24), the study reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which is that there is no statistically significant effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the profitability of companies listed on the Dubai Financial Market, and a set of proposals were presented, including Investors in financial markets should not generalize the reaction and indices of developed markets to emerging markets.
