Saleh Abdulaziz Al Rashed & Sons Co. is the first company to issue a prospectus for a Tadawul IPO in 2026, announcing plans to sell a 30% stake (5.58 mn shares) on the main market, according to its prospectus. The construction materials and mining company secured the necessary regulatory approvals for the listing back in September.

The structure: The entirety of the shares will be offered to institutional investors, each able to book 100k-930k shares during the bookbuilding period running from Sunday, 1 February to Thursday, 5 February. Up to 30% of the shares on offer will be open to retail investors from Thursday, 12 February to Tuesday, 17 February, with retail investors being able to apply for up to 250k shares each, with a minimum of 10 shares. Final allocations will be announced on Tuesday, 24 February.

Breaking the pattern?

Saleh Abdulaziz Al Rashed’s IPO is on track to be the first on the Tadawul after closing a bruising 2025, which saw the benchmark index fall nearly 13% in its steepest annual drop since the oil price crash of 2015.

It was also a tough year for IPOs, with a large handful of companies sustaining steep drops from their IPO pricing by the end of 2026, while others shelved their IPO plans altogether.

More transaction details

The selling shareholders will collectively retain a controlling 70% interest in the company. Abdulaziz Saleh Al Rashed — currently the largest shareholder with 35.8% — will see his stake reduced to 25.1%, while Abdullah Saleh Abdulaziz Al Rashed’s 20.8% stake will be diluted to 14.6%. Substantial shareholders will be subject to a six-month lock-up period starting from the first day of trading.

Unlike most IPO structures, the company will not receive any funds from this offering. After deducting estimated IPO-related expenses of SAR 20 mn, the net proceeds will be distributed entirely to the selling shareholders on a pro-rata basis.
