Al Rajhi Bank stock enters dividend day with SAR 1.26 payout

Al Rajhi Bank carries a SAR 1.26 per share cash dividend for the first half of 2026, with distribution scheduled for October 1, 2026. The Saudi lender enters the payment date after reporting first-half net income of SAR 13.76 billion, up 14.16 percent from SAR 12.06 billion in the same period of 2025.

Dividend reaches SAR 7.56 billion

According to Saudi Exchange on September 14, 2026, the bank approved SAR 7.56 billion for eligible shareholders, equivalent to SAR 1.26 per share after Zakat. The board set September 21, 2026 as the eligibility date and October 1, 2026 as the distribution date.

The payout equals 12.6 percent of the share nominal value and covers 6 billion eligible shares. For non-resident investors, the exchange disclosure states that a 5 percent withholding tax can apply when the distribution is transferred through a resident financial broker.

Profit growth supports the payout

Arab News reported on September 6, 2026 that first-half net profit rose 14.2 percent to SAR 13.76 billion. The lender also reported assets of SAR 1.05 trillion, financing of SAR 762.1 billion and customer deposits of SAR 688.4 billion at the end of June 2026.

The same report linked the bank's funding strategy to a USD 600 million Tier 2 social sukuk completed in September 2026. The 10.5-year certificates carry an annual return of 6.23 percent and are callable after 5.25 years, adding regulatory capital while diversifying funding.

Stock stays near yearly low

Al Rajhi Bank was last at SAR 63.30 on the Saudi Exchange on September 30, 2026 at 3:12 p.m. AST. The same market snapshot put its market capitalization at SAR 379.8 billion and its 52-week range at SAR 62.00 to SAR 73.40, leaving the latest quote SAR 1.30 above the yearly low.

The combination of a double-digit earnings comparison and a scheduled cash distribution gives the stock two measurable reference points. The dividend date is immediate, while the June balance-sheet figures show the scale of the financing and deposit base supporting the bank's earnings profile.
