Corporate disclosures

Saudi Tadawul Group Holding Co. reported a 34.6 percent decline in net profit to SR195.8 million for the first nine months of 2026, compared with SR299.4 million a year earlier, according to an official release.

Revenue fell 5.8 percent to SR909.3 million, while operating profit dropped 44 percent to SR139.3 million. Earnings per share declined to SR1.63 from SR2.50.

The group attributed the revenue decline mainly to lower revenue from its capital markets and post-trade services segments, which fell 13.4 percent and 5.7 percent, respectively.

These declines were partly offset by 5.8 percent growth in data and technology services revenue to SR200.6 million.

The company said operating expenses rose 1.6 percent excluding depreciation and amortization, and 7.5 percent including those expenses, weighing on net profit after zakat.
