SABIC-<\/p>\n
Saudi Basic Industries<\/a><\/strong> (Sa<\/strong>bic) returned to the black after several quarterly<\/strong> losses<\/strong>, posting a net income of SAR 440 mn in 3Q 2025, though still down 56% y-o-y, it said in a disclosure to Tadawul<\/a> yesterday. The results missed Bloomberg analysts\u2019<\/a> net income expectations of SAR 729 mn. Meanwhile, revenues also dipped 6.9% y-o-y to SAR 34.3 bn.<\/p>\n The drivers: <\/strong>Lower selling prices and volumes continued to weigh on margins and utilization rates, partly offset by reduced operating costs from Sabic\u2019s transformation program<\/a>, and stronger earnings from associates and joint ventures.<\/p>\n An industry-wide glut:<\/strong> The quarter reflected a \u201cmoderately improving\u201d global backdrop, but persistent industry overcapacity and weak demand continued to pressure gains, CEO Abdulrahman Al Fageeh commented in the earnings release (pdf)<\/a>. The global chemicals downturn has similarly hit other producers, leading to asset sales and project closures across the sector, Bloomberg reports.<\/p>\n On a 9M basis<\/strong>, Sabic recorded a net loss of SAR 4.8 bn, down from a net income of SAR 3.4 bn over the same period last year. Revenues also inched down 0.8% y-o-y to SAR 104.5 bn. <\/p>\n REMEMBER- <\/strong>Fitch affirmed Sabic\u2019s A+ (stable) credit rating last month<\/a>, citing its cost leadership, geographic diversification, and conservative financial profile. Meanwhile, the company is reportedly stalling<\/a> progress on the potential IPO<\/a> for its subsidiary, National Industrial Gases (Gas) after cancelling investor meetings.<\/p>\n Looking ahead, <\/strong>Sabic expects a slight increase in sales volumes in 4Q and will continue cost reductions under its restructuring program, which has already delivered USD 300 mn in cost savings this year, Al Fageeh said at a press conference (watch, runtime: 13:24<\/a>). The company is also reviewing its asset portfolio and maintained its capex forecast of USD 3-3.5 bn, expressing confidence in its ability to navigate market volatility. Meanwhile, Bloomberg analysts expect Sabic to face continued pressure from an oversupply in key petrochemical products and weak pricing, though Sabic\u2019s diversified portfolio and fixed feedstock costs should provide some support.<\/p>\n (** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n \n AMERICANA-<\/p>\n ADX and Tada<\/strong>wul-listed F&B giant Americana Restaurants posted a net income of USD <\/strong>42.9 mn in 3Q 2025<\/strong>, up 14.7% y-o-y, according to an earnings release (pdf)<\/a>.

Meanwhile, revenue edged down 3.2% y-o-y to SAR 835.4 mn over the quarter. The dip was attributed to lower rig activity in both offshore and land segments, partially offset by unconventional activity kicking off in 1Q 2025.<\/p>\n On a 9M basis, the company\u2019s net income dropped 70.8%<\/strong> y-o-y to SAR 73.3 mn, while revenue declined 5.8% y-o-y to SAR 2.6 bn.<\/p>\n Looking ahead: <\/strong>The company expects to resume operations for two offshore<\/a> and three onshore rigs in the Kingdom in 1Q 2026, restoring about half of its capacity, CEO Ghassan Mirdad told Asharq Business (watch, runtime: 3:34<\/a>).
