The figure exceeds analysts\u2019 expectations<\/a> of SAR 3.5 bn in net income.<\/p>\n Revenue inched up 2.6% y-o-y to SAR 19.5 bn over the same period<\/strong>, buoyed up by growing revenue streams from commercial unit, carriers and wholesale unit, and STC\u2019s subsidiaries.<\/p>\n Over the first half of the year<\/strong>, STC\u2019s bottom line rose 13.4% y-o-y to SAR 7.5 bn, while its top line was slightly up 2.1% y-o-y to SAR 38.7 bn, recording its highest-ever six-month revenue, according to the disclosure.<\/p>\n ALSO-<\/strong> The telecoms giant will distribute around SAR 2.7 bn in 2Q dividends for its shareholders at SAR 0.55 apiece, according to a separate disclosure<\/a>.

The increase \u2014 exceeding Bloomberg\u2019s analysts\u2019 expectations<\/a> of SAR 114 mn for the quarter \u2014 was driven by growth in high-margin segments and lower financing costs, offset by a one-off government grant of SAR 52 mn recorded in 2Q 2024.<\/p>\n Revenue increased 4% y-o-y to SAR 2.7 bn over the same period<\/strong>, driven by Zain KSA\u2019s consumer segment, particularly 5G services, and contributions from its subsidiary Tamam.<\/p>\n On a 1H basis<\/strong>, Zain KSA\u2019s bottom line was up 27.9% y-o-y at SAR 220 mn, while its top line expanded 5.1% y-o-y to SAR 5.3 bn.<\/p>\n \n SABIC AGRI-NUTRIENTS-<\/p>\n Sabic Agri-N<\/a><\/strong>utrients<\/a><\/strong> posted a net income of SAR 1.1 bn in 2Q 2025<\/strong>, up 50.4% y-o-y, the company said in a disclosure to Tadawul<\/a> yesterday, surpassing Bloomberg\u2019s analysts\u2019 expectations<\/a> of SAR 949.3 mn.

The figure beat Bloomberg analysts\u2019 estimates<\/a> for the quarter of SAR 578.8 mn, despite gains being capped by fixed costs related to new expansions.<\/p>\n Revenue jumped 31.5% y-o-y to SAR 3.4 bn over the same quarter<\/strong>, which also came higher than Bloomberg\u2019s analyst expectation of SAR 3.3 bn, steered by greater hospital patient volumes and pharma sales.<\/p>\n On a 1H basis<\/strong>, the group\u2019s bottom line jumped 3.8% y-o-y to SAR 1.1 bn, while its top line increased 28.4% y-o-y to SAR 6.5 bn.<\/p>\n ALSO-<\/strong> The group\u2019s board greenlit the distribution of SAR 416.5 mn in dividends for 2Q 2025 at SAR 1.19 per share, starting 18 August, according to a separate disclosure<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n SAUDI TADAWUL GROUP HOLDING-<\/p>\n Saudi Tada<\/a><\/strong>wul Group Holding<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s net incom<\/strong>e fell 41.3% y-o-y to SAR 96.2 mn in 2Q 2025<\/strong>, driven by lower operating revenues and a 15.9% increase in operating expenses attributed to the group\u2019s growth strategy implementation, it said in a disclosure to Tadawul<\/a> yesterday. The figure is way below analysts\u2019 forecast<\/a> of SAR 329 mn.<\/p>\n Revenue also dropped 9.8% y-o-y to SAR 318.9 mn during the quarter<\/strong>, due to lower trading and post-trade services revenues following a 32.2% drop in average daily trading values.
