Saudi Arabia’s stock market attracted selective buying on Sunday, October 11, 2026, after recent declines brought several shares to lower price levels. The benchmark Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) recovered from its intraday low as investors assessed upcoming third-quarter earnings.
In the latest available intraday reading, TASI stood at 10,331.02 points, down 0.44%, after touching 10,239.38 points earlier in the session. The rebound reduced losses but did not put the index in positive territory at the time of that reading.
Where are foreign investors focusing?
The latest available weekly data, covering the week ended October 1, 2026, showed foreign investors recording net sales of approximately SAR 1.29 billion, compared with net purchases of SAR 357 million in the previous week.
Sector flows were mixed. Insurance attracted around SAR 231.6 million in net foreign purchases, while energy recorded approximately SAR 695.2 million in net foreign sales. These are historical weekly figures, not foreign trading totals for the October 11 session.
Key Saudi corporate announcements to watch
Investors are watching third-quarter earnings from major Saudi banks, including Al Rajhi Bank and Saudi National Bank, for loan growth, provisions and margins. Saudi Aramco’s upcoming results will be assessed against oil prices, operating costs and dividends, while SABIC and other petrochemical companies face scrutiny over product prices and profitability.
Telecom, retail and industrial earnings, dividend announcements and new contract disclosures are also likely to influence trading sentiment.
Can the recovery continue?
Buying from the session low points to some demand at reduced prices, but does not confirm that selling pressure has ended. Broader participation among heavyweight stocks, stronger liquidity and corporate earnings will be important in determining whether the rebound can continue.
