Bupa Arabia stock was trading at SAR 147.60 on the Saudi Exchange on October 7, 2026, at 10:40 a.m. AST, with a daily change of minus 0.94 percent. The latest reported figures show first-half profit growth, while analyst targets remain above the current quote.

First half profit reaches SAR 694.1 million

According to Argaam, Bupa Arabia's profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026, grew 4 percent to SAR 694.1 million. Second-quarter profit was SAR 306.8 million, making the half-year result the more important measure for investors assessing earnings momentum.

The quarterly figure also shows the earnings split within the reporting period: first-quarter profit was SAR 387.3 million, compared with SAR 306.8 million in the second quarter. The sequential decline puts greater emphasis on claims, investment income and the composition of insurance revenue in the second half.

New tourist visa product adds a growth angle

MarketScreener reported that Bupa Arabia received final approval from the Insurance Authority on September 21, 2026, to market and sell compulsory tourist visa insurance to individual customers in Saudi Arabia. The product gives the insurer an additional distribution channel tied to travel demand and regulatory compliance.

The approval is concrete, but its earnings contribution is not included in the first-half result because the reporting period ended June 30, 2026. That timing matters: the product is a potential second-half operating factor rather than a reason to revise the published profit figure.
