Petrochemicals giant Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) is likely to report net profit of SAR 4.5 billion for the second quarter, a 5 percent year-on-year (YoY) drop.

 

In the banking sector, Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi Arabia's second largest bank by assets, is projected to see its profit higher by 9 percent YoY to SAR 2.24 billion.
