The Saudi Exchange Top Gainers 2025 showcase the resilience of select stocks despite a challenging year for the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI). Between January and August, TASI fell 11.1% to 10,696.9 points due to global headwinds and domestic market pressures. Yet, several companies defied the trend, demonstrating strong fundamentals and investor confidence.
Saudi Arabia’s main market capitalization reached $2.36 trillion (SAR 8.9 trillion), reinforcing its scale and importance. Within this environment, five stocks emerged as the top performers of 2025 so far.
1. Cenomi Retail – 80.2% ↑
Share Price: $6.4 | Market Cap: $729M
Founded in 1990 by the Alhokair brothers, Cenomi Retail was the top stock on the Saudi Exchange in 2025, soaring 80.2% by August. The boost followed news of a deal to sell nearly 50% of the business to Al Futtaim Retail for $672.6M. Despite reporting a Q2 net loss of $22.7M, the company operates over 800 stores across eight countries with 28 brands, maintaining a strong retail presence.
2. Saudi Cable – 49.5% ↑
Share Price: $40.3 | Market Cap: $268.7M
Saudi Cable rose nearly 50% in 2025, fueled by its plan to raise capital through a $106.6M rights issue. In H1, the company posted a net profit of $17.3M, up from just $1.9M a year earlier. However, accumulated losses remain high, raising concerns about long-term sustainability despite recent momentum.
3. Al-Babtain Power & Telecommunication – 44% ↑
Share Price: $15 | Market Cap: $957.5M
Al-Babtain gained 44% this year, boosted by contracts worth $269.9M to supply steel transmission towers. Net profit rose to $50.8M in H1 2025, supported by higher productivity and margin improvements. The company also announced cash dividends of $17.1M for the first half of the year.
4. Seera Group Holding – 26.7% ↑
Share Price: $7.6 | Market Cap: $2.3B
Travel and tourism giant Seera Group climbed 26.7%, supported by revenue growth of nearly 10% in H1 2025. The company is pursuing a capital reduction and a share buyback plan, highlighting investor-focused strategies. Seera’s diversified business, spanning corporate travel, Hajj & Umrah, and car rental through Lumi, underlines its alignment with Vision 2030.
5. Abdullah Saad Abo Moati Co. – 24.5% ↑
Share Price: $10.3 | Market Cap: $205.9M
Bookstore and stationery operator Abo Moati saw a 24.5% rise in share price. Revenues in Q2 2025 increased 17.7% to $15.6M, driven by higher wholesale sales and rental income. Established in 1994 and listed in 2017, the company continues to expand across retail and wholesale channels in Saudi Arabia.
Conclusion
The Saudi Exchange Top Gainers 2025 highlight how certain companies thrived even as the wider market dipped. From Cenomi’s retail expansion to Al-Babtain’s infrastructure deals and Seera’s travel diversification, these firms show the resilience and potential of Saudi Arabia’s evolving equity market.
