Almarai (ISIN SA000A0ETHT1) plans to deploy more than SAR 15.00 billion through 2031 under a new growth strategy approved on October 6, 2026, according to Zawya. Almarai stock was last at SAR 44.44 on Tadawul on October 8, 2026, placing it 11.65 percent below the 52-week high of SAR 50.30.

Three milestones frame the plan

On October 4, 2026, Almarai reported Q3 2026 revenue of SAR 6.19 billion, up 11.00 percent from SAR 5.55 billion in Q3 2025, while net profit increased 1.00 percent to SAR 617.80 million from SAR 613.20 million, according to Almarai.

On October 6, 2026, the board approved the 2026-2031 strategy and set four priorities: core-category growth, selective entry into new food categories, expansion in foodservice and e-commerce, and stronger positions in priority markets, Zawya reported.

On October 8, 2026, the company presented the plan at a capital markets day, with investment exceeding USD 4.00 billion through 2031, according to TradeArabia. The currency difference reflects separate source descriptions of the same investment program.

What does the strategy mean for growth?

The plan targets 2031 revenue of at least SAR 36.00 billion against an estimated SAR 24.00 billion in 2026, implying 1.50 times growth and an 8.00 percent compound annual growth rate, according to Quartr. The stated ambition shifts the investment story from capacity building toward utilization, productivity and returns.

That shift matters because Q3 profit growth lagged sales growth. In the first nine months of 2026, revenue reached SAR 18.22 billion, up 10.00 percent year over year, while net profit was SAR 1.99 billion, down 0.30 percent, according to Argaam. Higher feed freight, energy and transportation costs constrained the conversion of revenue growth into earnings.

Next date for the stock

The next reported earnings date is January 18, 2027, according to Investing.com. Until then, the strategy's progress can be measured against revenue expansion, cost control and the planned transition toward higher asset utilization.
