EFG-Hermes downgraded Dar Al Arkan Real Estate Development stock to Neutral on September 9, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The rating change gives the stock a cautious reference point while the company advances residential development projects in Saudi Arabia.
Three dated operating signals
On August 18, 2026, Dar Al Arkan reported second-quarter revenue of SAR 1.18 billion and earnings per share of SAR 0.22, figures listed by Investing.com. On September 9, EFG-Hermes moved its view to Neutral, while the average analyst target shown by MarketScreener was SAR 18.72. On September 19, Dar Al Arkan secured a Roshn contract for the Sedra project, with more than 30,000 residential units planned across 20 million square meters, according to Gulf Construction.
What does the Sedra contract add?
The project is planned in eight phases and is scheduled for completion over three years. Its scale matters because the contract links Dar Al Arkan to a major Riyadh housing development rather than a single completed building, giving the operating story a multi-year construction horizon.
The second-quarter revenue figure was nearly unchanged from the first-quarter SAR 1.16 billion, while second-quarter net income was SAR 238.74 million versus SAR 260.24 million in the first quarter. The sequential comparison places the Roshn project alongside a recent period in which revenue held near SAR 1.2 billion but net income declined.
Next date and Tadawul valuation
The next scheduled earnings date is November 11, 2026, according to Investing.com. The latest finance quote put Dar Al Arkan at SAR 18.67 on Tadawul on October 8, 2026 at 3:18 p.m. AST, versus a prior close of SAR 19.27, a decline of 3.11 percent. Market capitalization was SAR 20.2 billion, and the 52-week range was SAR 14.58 to SAR 21.40.
