According to a Tadawul statement, the firm recorded a net profit of SR168 million during the first three months of the year, up 7.11 percent from the same period last year.
The rise in net profit is primarily linked to improved operating leverage, effective cost discipline, and favorable product and customer mix.

Jamjoom Pharmaceuticals Factory Co. ended the session at SR156.80, down 0.26 percent.

A bourse filing revealed that the firm recorded a net profit of SR880 million during the first three months of the year, reflecting a 14.7 percent increase compared to the corresponding period a year earlier.
This jump in net profit is mainly due to a rise in gross profit and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization, as well as an increase in operating profit and net other income and expenses. Zakat and income tax expense also saw an increase.
Mobily ended the session at SR65.55, with no change.
