The Saudi Exchange top gainers 2025 list shows how select companies thrived despite market headwinds. Between December 31, 2024, and August 31, 2025, the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) slipped 11.1% to 10,696.9 points. Global pressures and domestic challenges weighed heavily on investors. Still, several firms bucked the trend with strong operations and investor confidence.
Saudi Arabia’s main market capitalization stood at $2.36 trillion (SAR 8.9 trillion), reflecting both its scale and resilience. Within this landscape, these five stocks delivered the best returns for shareholders.
1. Cenomi Retail – 80.2% ↑
- Share Price: $6.4 (SAR 23.8)
- Market Cap: $729 million (SAR 2.7 billion)
Cenomi Retail emerged as the top-performing stock in 2025’s first eight months. Founded in 1990 by Fawaz Bin Abdulaziz Alhokair and his brothers, it saw an 80.2% surge. In July, major shareholders agreed to sell nearly half the company to Al Futtaim Retail for $672.6 million. Despite posting a Q2 net loss of $22.7 million, Cenomi’s 808 stores across eight countries keep it a market leader.
2. Saudi Cable – 49.5% ↑
- Share Price: $40.3 (SAR 151)
- Market Cap: $268.7 million
Saudi Cable rose nearly 50% thanks to plans for a $106.6 million rights issue to raise capital. For H1 2025, net profit reached $17.3 million versus just $1.9 million a year earlier. Yet financial risks remain high, with accumulated losses of $110 million and liabilities exceeding assets.
3. Al-Babtain Power & Telecommunication – 44% ↑
- Share Price: $15 (SAR 56.1)
- Market Cap: $957.5 million
Al-Babtain gained 44% after securing two major contracts worth $269.9 million for transmission towers. H1 net profit grew to $50.8 million from $37.6 million in 2024, driven by improved margins and productivity. The firm also approved cash dividends of $0.3 per share, signaling strong confidence in its growth trajectory.
4. Seera Group Holding – 26.7% ↑
- Share Price: $7.6 (SAR 28.5)
- Market Cap: $2.3 billion
Seera Group saw its stock climb nearly 27% as revenues reached $616.6 million in H1 2025, up 9.8% year-on-year. The company announced plans for a capital reduction followed by a share buyback. With its diversified portfolio across travel, Hajj & Umrah, and car rental services, Seera aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 transformation strategy.
5. Abdullah Saad Abo Moati Company – 24.5% ↑
- Share Price: $10.3 (SAR 38.6)
- Market Cap: $205.9 million
Abo Moati, a leader in bookstores and office supplies, gained 24.5%. Q2 revenues rose 17.7% to $15.6 million, boosted by wholesale sales and rental income. Founded in 1994 and listed in 2017, the company continues to expand its retail and wholesale operations, supported by subsidiary Al Maujah Trading Co.
Conclusion
The Saudi Exchange top gainers 2025 list reflects how select companies managed strong growth despite broader market losses. Cenomi Retail led with an 80% surge, while Saudi Cable, Al-Babtain, Seera, and Abo Moati also rewarded investors. Their performance shows how sector-specific strength and strategic deals can defy wider volatility in Saudi Arabia’s equity market.
