Major shareholders raised their stakes in eight Tadawul-listed companies and five new shareholders jointed the major owners’ list Q1 2018, a recent study conducted by Argaam showed.

 

Herfy Food Services saw the largest equity increase of 1.40 percent by Savola Group that increased its shareholding to 49 percent.

 

Al Sorayai Trading And Industrial Group Co. came second with Hamdan Al Sorayai boosting his ownership to 6.08 percent -- a 0.98 percent increase.

 

Meanwhile, Allianz Saudi Fransi Cooperative Insurance Co. saw the biggest share sale by a major shareholder, where Banque Saudi Fransi (BSF) reduced its ownership to 14 percent from 18.50 percent.
