Riyadh, Saudi Arabia— Abdullah Al-Othaim Markets Co. has posted a profit of $235 million for the first nine months of 2022, prompting its share price to rise.
Thanks to a 13 percent increase in revenue to $1.86 billion, the retailer’s profit surged 486 percent from $40 million in the same period last year, according to a bourse filing.
The company’s share price went up 1.57 percent to SR116.80, after releasing its earnings report on Monday.
