Company Of The Day
Real estate was the weakest group on Thursday at -0.28%, and the developer whose portfolio is built around a land bank fell less than its sector: Dar Al Arkan, ticker 4300, slipped 0.11% to SAR 17.99 ($4.80) on SAR 14.2 million of turnover, about $3.8 million.
The company describes itself as a Saudi investment holding company whose portfolio spans real estate, land banking, financial services and related platforms, and it reports SAR 41.6 billion in total assets as of fiscal 2025 (about $11.1 billion) with more than thirty years in land investment and asset management. That mix sets how the shares are valued: a land bank rests on what the land can be sold or built for years out rather than on this week's index level. On Thursday the group averaged a fall and the stock finished almost flat.
