Riyad Capital Issues Q2 2026 Earnings Forecasts for 8 Saudi Firms

Riyad Capital published its Q2 2026 earnings estimates for eight listed companies on Tuesday. The forecasts cover four sectors: food, retail, consumer services, and capital goods.

The bank did not disclose which specific companies are included or the exact profit figures. Such previews typically set the baseline for what traders and fund managers expect before the actual reports land. For the second quarter, the estimates will be compared against first-quarter results and year-ago numbers once they are released.

Riyad Capital is one of the larger brokerage and research houses on the Saudi stock exchange. Its quarterly previews often carry weight with institutional investors who use the forecasts to adjust positions ahead of earnings season.

The eight companies span industries that are sensitive to consumer spending and government infrastructure outlays. The food and retail segments are directly tied to household consumption patterns, while capital goods track project activity under Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 spending plans.

This is a pre-earnings event for the covered names. Traders will watch whether actual results beat or miss the Riyad Capital estimates when each company reports. A material miss could trigger position adjustments, while a beat might confirm the sector's trajectory.

The actual earnings reports are due over the next several weeks. Riyad Capital's numbers give the market an early reference point.
