Saudi Arabian Fertilizer stock (ISIN SA0007879139) closed at SAR 118.90 on Tadawul on October 7, 2026, down 0.83 percent from the previous close. The move followed a trading session with a high of SAR 119.60, a low of SAR 118.00 and volume of 275,801 shares.

Stock stays below its yearly high

The October 7 close stood SAR 40.40 below the 52-week high of SAR 159.30 and SAR 10.60 above the 52-week low of SAR 108.30. The stock therefore remained 25.36 percent below its yearly high, while its market capitalization was SAR 56.8 billion as of October 6, 2026.

The price report gives investors a clear measure of the current valuation backdrop. The SAR 118.90 close was 9.80 percent above the 52-week low, but the share price remained closer to the lower end of its annual range than to the upper end.

Profit falls as volumes weaken

Arab News reported that Saudi Arabian Fertilizer posted first-half 2026 net profit of SAR 1.6 billion, down 21.42 percent from SAR 2.04 billion in the same period of 2025. The company attributed the decline to lower sales volumes, supply-chain challenges and weaker results from an associate and a joint venture.

The expansion story remains capital intensive. MEED reported on September 10, 2026, that the company awarded Samsung E&A a USD 3.465 billion EPC contract for the SAN VII project. The facility is designed to add 1.2 million metric tonnes of annual ammonia capacity and 2.6 million metric tonnes of annual urea capacity.

Analyst target remains above price

According to Marketscreener, the consensus covered 12 analysts with an Accumulate rating and an average target of SAR 137.68. That target lies 15.79 percent above the SAR 118.90 close, giving the comparison a direct link to the current market price rather than to the older reference price shown in the analyst overview.

Finimize reported on September 16, 2026, that Bank of America cut its price objective from SAR 170 to SAR 158 while retaining a Buy view. The bank cited softer volumes and higher logistics costs, factors that sit alongside the company's long-term capacity expansion.
