SICO Bank has released its projections for the third-quarter 2026 financial earnings of major companies and financial institutions listed on Tadawul. The regional investment bank anticipates solid year-on-year earnings growth across the Saudi banking sector, supported by sustained credit demand and robust economic activity in the Kingdom.
According to SICO's estimates, Al Rajhi Bank is expected to record a net profit of SAR 6.95 billion for Q3 2026, marking a 9% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. Similarly, Alinma Bank's net profit is forecast to expand by 8% year-on-year to reach SAR 1.71 billion, while Arab National Bank (ANB) is projected to generate SAR 1.41 billion, representing a 6% year-on-year rise.
Earnings expectations serve as a critical anchor for institutional pricing and market sentiment ahead of official quarterly reporting cycles. Analysts will closely evaluate if these financial institutions meet or exceed these forecasts, paying particular attention to asset quality, net interest margins, and loan growth trajectories across Tadawul-listed equities.
