Simply Wall St reduced its fair value estimate for Saudi Basic Industries Corporation to SAR 58.16 from SAR 59.46 on October 7, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The cut leaves the estimate 23.39 percent above the last Tadawul price of SAR 44.56.
Saudi Basic Industries Corporation posted SAR 24.81 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, down 18.00 percent from the same period a year earlier. Its net loss was SAR 75.82 million, compared with net income of SAR 13.20 million in the first quarter, while cash from operations reached SAR 302.12 million in the quarter. The reported figures come from the standardized second-quarter financial statement data.
Revenue pressure remains visible
Argaam reported on September 29, 2026 that second-quarter revenue fell about 5 percent from the prior quarter and 18 percent year over year. The same report said adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were SAR 3.40 billion, equal to a 13.60 percent margin. These figures frame the stock's valuation debate: operating earnings remained positive, but weaker volumes and a loss at the group level constrained the result.
What the valuation implies
The Simply Wall St estimate is SAR 1.30 lower than the previous SAR 59.46 level, a 2.19 percent reduction. Its latest assessment also placed the future price-to-earnings multiple at 23.95, down from 36.11, according to the October 7 update. The estimate is therefore a dated valuation reference, not a forecast adopted by this article.
