- DUBAI: Dubai contractor Drake & Scull International's second-quarter net profit nearly halved, shy of analysts forecasts, as market conditions remained tough.
The company made a net profit of 44.5 million dirhams ($12.12 million) in the three months to June 30, it said in a statement on Thursday, a drop of almost 49 percent on the year-ago period. Revenue stood at 411 million dirhams, it said.
