Riyad Bank (SA0007879048) reported second-quarter 2026 net income of SAR 2.65 billion on July 20, 2026, up 1.36 percent from SAR 2.61 billion in the first quarter, according to Investing.com. The result gives the bank a concrete earnings base as investors assess its latest project-finance role.

What the Rabigh financing means

Riyad Bank joined a lender consortium for SAR 9.69 billion in financing for the Rabigh 2 combined-cycle power project, with the financing secured on October 1, 2026. Argaam reported on October 4, 2026, that the project has a 34-year tenor and is expected to affect financial results when full commercial operations begin in the second quarter of 2029.

The financing is tied to a 2,313.5-megawatt plant in western Saudi Arabia. The figure matters because the project is long dated, while its reported financial contribution is scheduled for 2029 rather than the current earnings period.

Three dated operating markers
