Tadawul's market cap fell 1.66% to SAR 9.48 trillion in the week ended June 2. Foreign ownership of listed shares was 4.87%. The decline follows net selling by foreign institutions.
Alpha Score of 46 reflects weak overall profile with moderate momentum, poor value, moderate quality, moderate sentiment.
The Saudi stock exchange lost SAR 160.13 billion in market value during the week ended June 2, a 1.66% decline that brought Tadawul's total capitalization to about SAR 9.48 trillion. The drop was the largest weekly contraction in several months, exchange data showed.
Foreign ownership of listed shares stood at 4.87% at the end of the period, unchanged from the prior week. That suggests overseas investors held their positions even as the market fell, rather than amplifying the selloff.
The weekly losses extended a trend that has seen Tadawul under pressure since mid-May, when oil prices drifted lower and global risk appetite faded. The energy and petrochemical sectors, which together account for roughly half of the index's weight, were the biggest drags on the headline figures, according to traders familiar with the flows.
The decline coincided with net selling by foreign institutions on TASI last week, when they offloaded SAR 179.5 million worth of shares, according to exchange data. Local retail investors, by contrast, were net buyers over the same stretch.
Tadawul's benchmark index, the TASI, fell 1.4% on the week, underperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which slipped 0.7% over the same period. The underperformance was concentrated in large-cap stocks; smaller names held up better.
The market cap figure excludes companies listed on the parallel market, Nomu. Including Nomu, total market capitalization was roughly SAR 9.52 trillion, data from the Saudi Exchange showed.
The coming week offers few domestic catalysts. The next major scheduled event is the Saudi Arabia PMI print for May, due June 9, followed by the monthly inflation report on June 11. Traders said the market's direction will depend more on oil prices and global rate expectations than on local corporate news.
Foreign ownership of Tadawul shares has hovered around 5% for most of 2025, with no sustained increase since the index's inclusion in emerging-market benchmarks. The 4.87% reading at the end of the week puts foreign participation near the low end of its recent range.
