KHC, Burgerizzr Go Ex-Dividend on TASI Today

Shares of Tadawul-listed Kingdom Holding Co. (KHC) and Shatirah House Restaurant Co. (Burgerizzr) trade ex-dividend today, June 23, for their H1 2026 payouts.

Kingdom Holding, the investment firm chaired by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, is distributing SAR 0.50 per share. The stock closed at SAR 7.86 on Sunday. At that price, the dividend yield on the payout is roughly 6.4% annualized against the current share price.

Burgerizzr, the operator of the Burgerizzr fast-food chain in Saudi Arabia, is paying SAR 0.75 per share. The stock ended Sunday at SAR 17.00, putting the yield on this single distribution at about 4.4%.

Investors who bought the shares before today's open are not entitled to the dividend. The ex-date means the stock price adjusts downward by roughly the dividend amount at the open, reflecting the cash leaving the company's balance sheet.

Kingdom Holding has a KHC stock page on AlphaScala with an Alpha Score of 47 out of 100, labeled Mixed, in the Consumer Staples sector. The score reflects a neutral positioning signal based on the firm's recent financials and market activity.

For traders, the ex-dividend adjustment is a mechanical event. The real question is whether the stock fills the gap – recovers the dividend-adjusted price – in the days after. Kingdom Holding has historically filled its ex-dividend gaps within two to four weeks, depending on broader market conditions. Burgerizzr, a smaller-cap name with thinner liquidity, tends to take longer to recover the adjustment.

Both stocks trade on the main TASI index. The broader market has been mixed in June, with some names hitting 52-week lows and others holding steady. The dividend capture trade – buying before ex-date and selling after – works only when the price recovery outpaces the tax and commission costs. For retail investors in Saudi Arabia, the withholding tax on dividends is 5% for residents, which eats into the net return.

Kingdom Holding's payout is its first for the fiscal year. The company reported a net profit of SAR 1.2 billion for Q1 2026, up from SAR 980 million a year earlier, driven by higher investment income. Burgerizzr posted a Q1 net profit of SAR 18.5 million, flat year-on-year, as restaurant margins faced pressure from rising food costs.

The ex-dividend dates for the second half of 2026 have not been announced. Both companies typically pay a second tranche in December.
