Derayah Financial Pays 80.7M SAR Q3 Dividend

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Derayah Financial Co. will distribute 80,746,477.02 SAR in cash dividends to shareholders for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. The board approved the payout on November 8, 2026.

Each eligible shareholder receives 0.33 SAR per share — equal to 16.5% of the share’s par value. A total of 244,686,294 shares qualify for the dividend.

Dividend Details

Shareholders on record at the close of trading on November 16, 2026 will qualify for the payout. Registration must be confirmed in the Company’s register at the Edaa Center by the end of the second trading day after the eligibility date. Derayah Financial will distribute the dividend through the Securities Depository Center Company (Edaa) on November 25, 2026.

Foreign non-resident investors should note a 5% withholding tax applies to cash dividends. This applies whether dividends are transferred through a resident financial intermediary or credited directly to a non-resident account, under Article 68 of the Income Tax Law and Article 63 of its Executive Regulations.

Why It Matters

• Derayah Financial is distributing 80.7 million SAR — a meaningful cash return to shareholders for a single quarter.
• At 0.33 SAR per share across 244.7 million shares, the payout is consistent and cleanly structured.
• The 5% withholding tax on foreign non-resident investors reduces their effective yield and deserves attention before the November 16 eligibility date.
• Shareholders must link their bank accounts to their investment portfolios before the eligibility date or risk delays in receiving payment.

What This Means for Investors

• Mark November 16, 2026 — that is the eligibility cutoff. Missing it means missing this dividend entirely.
• Payment arrives November 25, 2026, giving investors a clear timeline to plan around.
• Non-resident foreign investors face a 5% withholding tax, reducing the effective per-share payout below 0.33 SAR.
• Shareholders should contact Derayah Financial’s investor relations team at investor.relations@derayah.com to resolve any account or data issues before the deadline.

THE SAUDI STANDARD’S VIEW: DERAYAH’S QUARTERLY DIVIDEND SIGNALS FINANCIAL SECTOR DISCIPLINE

Derayah Financial’s distribution of over 80.7 million SAR for a single quarter is more than a routine payout — it reflects a maturing financial services firm executing with the kind of shareholder discipline that institutional investors increasingly demand from Saudi-listed companies.

• CONSISTENCY AS A COMPETITIVE SIGNAL

A clean, structurally precise payout of 0.33 SAR per share across nearly 245 million shares communicates operational predictability. For investors evaluating financial sector holdings on Tadawul, consistency in dividend execution is a meaningful proxy for management quality and earnings stability. Derayah’s board approval and payment timeline leave little ambiguity for portfolio planning.

• FOREIGN INVESTOR YIELD CONSIDERATIONS

The 5% withholding tax on dividends paid to non-resident foreign investors meaningfully affects the effective yield calculation for international allocators. With Saudi equities increasingly represented in emerging market indices, understanding the tax treatment under Article 68 of the Income Tax Law is not optional — it is a core due diligence requirement for cross-border portfolio positioning.

• LIQUIDITY TIMING AND SETTLEMENT MECHANICS

The November 16 eligibility date and November 25 distribution window create a compressed but well-defined settlement cycle. Investors who have not linked banking accounts to their investment portfolios through Edaa face real execution risk within this timeline. The infrastructure running this process — Saudi Arabia’s centralized securities depository — continues to demonstrate the operational depth of the Kingdom’s capital markets architecture.

• FINANCIAL SERVICES AS A DIVIDEND-PAYING SECTOR

As Saudi Arabia’s capital markets deepen, financial intermediaries like Derayah are transitioning from growth-stage positioning to recurring income generators. Quarterly dividend schedules, when maintained reliably, attract a different class of long-term investor and reduce share price volatility. This shift in investor base composition matters for the broader health of Tadawul.

Derayah Financial’s disciplined quarterly distribution reflects exactly the kind of shareholder value orientation that Vision 2030’s capital market development agenda is designed to cultivate. As the Kingdom works to position Tadawul among the world’s leading exchanges and attract sustained foreign institutional participation, listed companies that maintain transparent, well-structured dividend programs become ambassadors for Saudi Arabia’s investment credibility on the global stage.
