MIS Distributes 30M SAR Q2 Cash Dividend
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Al Moammar Information Systems (MIS) will pay shareholders a 30 million SAR cash dividend for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. The board approved the distribution on November 9, 2026.
Each eligible shareholder receives 1 SAR per share — equal to 10% of the share’s par value. The payout covers all 30 million shares eligible for dividends.
Dividend Details
MIS has set November 12, 2026 as the eligibility date. Shareholders on record that day qualify for the dividend. Banque Saudi Fransi will process payments via direct bank transfer on November 22, 2026.
MIS urges all shareholders to confirm their banking details are current with their respective banks. Outdated account information could delay payment. Shareholders can verify details through the investment portfolios linked to their accounts.
Why It Matters
- The 1 SAR per share dividend delivers a clean, cash return to all 30 million eligible shares.
- Non-resident investors face a 5% withholding tax on dividends, per Article 68 of the Income Tax Law and Article 63 of its Implementing Regulations.
- Non-residents holding a ZATCA-issued dividend tax exemption certificate must contact MIS Investor Relations at IR@mis.com.sa within seven days of the November 12 eligibility date to claim their exemption.
- Payments flow through Banque Saudi Fransi, giving shareholders a clear, single-channel distribution process.
What This Means for Investors
- Mark November 12, 2026 — missing the eligibility date means missing this quarter’s dividend entirely.
- Non-resident investors should act immediately to submit exemption certificates before the seven-day window closes.
- Shareholders should verify bank account details now to avoid any transfer delays on the November 22 payment date.
- The 10% par value payout signals that MIS continues its interim dividend program into fiscal 2026, rewarding shareholders with consistent quarterly income.

THE SAUDI STANDARD’S VIEW: MIS SIGNALS INCOME DISCIPLINE WITH CONSISTENT Q2 DIVIDEND
Al Moammar Information Systems continues to demonstrate that Saudi-listed technology firms can deliver reliable cash returns alongside operational growth. The Q2 fiscal 2026 distribution reinforces MIS as a disciplined income stock in a market where consistent dividend payers command investor loyalty and institutional attention.
• A PATTERN OF CONSISTENCY THAT MARKETS REWARD
Maintaining a 10% par value payout on a quarterly basis is not a trivial commitment for a technology company. It signals that MIS management has sufficient confidence in recurring cash flow to sustain interim distributions without compromising reinvestment capacity. For portfolio managers seeking yield within the Saudi technology sector, this consistency is a differentiating quality.
• TAX STRUCTURE SHAPES FOREIGN INVESTOR CALCULUS
The 5% withholding tax applied to non-resident dividend recipients directly affects the net yield equation for international investors evaluating MIS on a risk-adjusted basis. The exemption certificate pathway through ZATCA offers relief, but the tight seven-day window demands operational readiness from foreign institutional holders. Investors without established compliance processes risk unnecessary yield erosion on an otherwise straightforward distribution.
• SINGLE-CHANNEL PAYMENT INFRASTRUCTURE REDUCES FRICTION
Routing all dividend payments through a single banking partner streamlines settlement and creates a predictable operational framework for both the company and its shareholders. This kind of structural clarity reduces administrative risk and reflects a maturing approach to capital markets communication. It also positions MIS favourably against peers whose distribution mechanics remain fragmented or opaque.
• DIVIDEND YIELD AS A VALUATION ANCHOR
With 30 million shares in distribution and a fixed 1 SAR per share payout, MIS provides a concrete earnings reference point against which its market valuation can be assessed. Quarterly dividends of this scale accumulate into a meaningful annual yield, anchoring investor expectations and limiting excessive price volatility. This dynamic is particularly relevant for retail shareholders who form a significant portion of Tadawul’s investor base.
Consistent interim dividends from technology firms like MIS reflect exactly the kind of market maturity that Vision 2030’s capital market development goals are designed to cultivate. As Saudi Arabia works to deepen domestic investment participation and attract foreign capital into non-oil sectors, companies that combine digital sector exposure with dependable shareholder returns strengthen the investment case for the Kingdom’s broader economic transformation. MIS is quietly building the kind of track record that long-term capital respects.
