Maaden (ISIN SA123GA0ITH7) received shareholder approval for a SAR 197.50 million joint venture focused on mineral resources in the Arabian Shield on October 14, 2026, according to Argaam. The decision gives Maaden stock a concrete exploration milestone before the company's next earnings report on November 3, 2026.
Three milestones since August
On August 9, 2026, Maaden reported second-quarter revenue of USD 2.90 billion, up 16.00 percent year over year, while group EBITDA rose 3.00 percent to USD 1.00 billion, according to Discovery Alert.

On October 14, 2026, shareholders approved the SAR 197.50 million venture and a new board term, as Argaam reported on October 15.
What does the venture add?
The joint venture will explore Zone 4 in the Arabian Platform, with an area of 182,000 square kilometers. Maaden is expected to hold 51.00 percent and Saudi Aramco 49.00 percent, while the new company starts with SAR 197.50 million in paid-up capital, according to Argaam. The scale expands Maaden's exploration pipeline, but the financial effect will depend on discoveries, development spending and eventual production.
Revenue sets the next test
Maaden's Q2 2026 revenue was SAR 10.94 billion, compared with SAR 8.79 billion in Q1 2026, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 24.49 percent. Net income rose from SAR 1.64 billion in Q1 2026 to SAR 2.18 billion in Q2 2026, an increase of 32.98 percent, according to Investing.com.

What the next report will test

In Q2 2026, gold EBITDA rose 46.00 percent to USD 334.00 million, while phosphate EBITDA fell 49.00 percent to USD 328.00 million after output disruptions, according to Discovery Alert. The November 3 report will show whether aluminium and gold strength can offset pressure in phosphate operations.
