Rasan Information Technology Company dominated the activity with a single transaction valued at SAR 69.63 million. The deal covered 480,552 shares priced at SAR 144.90 each – nearly 80% of the day's total volume in negotiated trades.

Advanced Petrochemical Company followed with a transaction valued at SAR 4.08 million, involving 177,814 shares at SAR 22.98 per share. Advanced Petrochemical has been under earnings pressure; a parallel Mubasher report showed its net profit fell sharply in the first quarter.
Ataa Educational Company saw 79,983 shares change hands for a total value of SAR 4.03 million at an execution price of SAR 50.40. Jadwa REIT Saudi Fund registered two separate transactions at a price of SAR 10.97 per unit. The first REIT deal involved 300,000 shares valued at SAR 3.29 million. The second covered 200,000 shares at SAR 2.19 million.
Negotiated deals are trades executed by buyers and sellers who agree on a specific price and volume under Tadawul rules. They are independent of the prevailing market price and do not affect the closing price or the main index. The structure lets large blocks move without disrupting the continuous auction, making them a common tool for institutional rebalancing, stake transfers, or corporate actions.
Rasan's outsized deal suggests one or more large holders adjusted their positions in the IT services firm. Tuesday's trading will show whether any of the transferred shares appear in the public order book.
