RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's Tadawul All Share Index slipped on Sunday, falling 87.17 points, or 0.80 percent, to close at 10,833.10. The total trading turnover of the benchmark index stood at SR3.39 billion ($904 million), with 62 stocks advancing and 187 declining. The Kingdom's parallel market Nomu fell 169.14 points, or 0.63 percent, to close at 26,755.84, as 30 stocks advanced while 50 retreated. The MSCI Tadawul Index also dropped, losing 11.09 points, or 0.79 percent, to end at 1,398.65. The best-performing stock of the day was Sport Clubs Co., whose share price rose 9.96 percent to SR12.37. Other top performers included Thimar Development Holding Co., which increased 6.67 percent to SR38.68, and Nama Chemicals Co., which gained 5.72 percent to SR26.24.

According to a Tadawul statement, the company recorded a net loss of SR5.28 billion during the first six months of the year, compared to a net profit of SR2.43 billion in the same period a year earlier.

SABIC also announced the board of directors' recommendation to distribute SR4.5 billion in cash dividends to shareholders for the first half of 2025.

According to a Tadawul statement, the company posted a net profit of SR446 million, down 13.2 percent year-on-year, mainly due to lower crack margins for by-products and a decline in base oil sales volumes, despite an improvement in base oil crack margins. The company also announced the board's recommendation to distribute SR168 million in cash dividends for the first half of 2025. A bourse filing said the number of shares eligible for dividends was 168 million, with a dividend per share of SR1, equivalent to 10 percent of the share's par value.
