Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) is projected to post SAR 4.75 billion in earnings for second quarter, a 26 percent year-on-year drop, which puts the blue chip ahead of its competitors in terms of expected profit, Riyad Capital said in a report.
A strong majority of Saudi-listed petrochemical companies are likely to report double digital year-on-year declines in second quarter results, the brokerage firm said in its forecast for the sector.
National Industrialization Co. (Tasnee) should witness the steepest drop in earnings during the period (-78 percent).
Advanced Petrochemical is the only firm set to report a rise in Q2 profit, which is projected to increase by five percent to SAR 195 million.
