Shares of Saudi-listed Southern Cement and Bawan fell to 52-week lows on July 5, according to Argaam data. Southern Cement dropped to SAR 18.98, a 34% decline from its 52-week high, while Bawan fell to SAR 38.52, down 25%. The sharp decline reflects weak investor confidence amid broader market volatility and sector-specific challenges.

Market participants should monitor upcoming earnings reports and macroeconomic data for clues on recovery potential.
