Company Of The Day
Healthcare was the pocket of strength in an otherwise soft session. The smaller names did the running, while Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib (4013), a private hospital and medical services operator on the Main Market, sat third on the turnover table and barely moved: it closed at SAR 215.00 ($57.33), down 0.37%, on SAR 78.0 million ($20.8 million) of turnover.
It sits in the exchange's Health Care Equipment and Services group, whose larger constituents are less tied to the oil price than the banks that dominate the index. On a day when the index lost 0.78% and the heavyweights supplied most of the decline, the third most traded stock by value was a defensive name holding its level.
