Kingdom Holding proposes $265m dividend for 2025

The board of Saudi Arabia’s Kingdom Holding Company (KHC) has recommended a dividend payout of more than SAR1 billion ($265 million) for 2025 following a rise in revenue and net profit.

The conglomerate owned by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal will pay a dividend of SAR0.28 per share in four equal instalments, subject to shareholder approval, it said in a statement to the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul).

The number of eligible shares stands at 3.7 billion.

Revenue jumped 13 percent to SAR2.7 billion in 2025, from SAR2.4 billion a year earlier, driven by higher dividend income and a 5 percent increase in hotels and other operating revenues.

Net profit attributable to shareholders reached SAR2.1 billion, up 73 percent, supported by higher income from core investments, valuation gains, and effective management of debt and financing costs.

The latest xAI-SpaceX funding round resulted in an estimated incremental value uplift of SAR11.6 billion, representing more than three times the 2024 carrying value, the statement said.

In addition, the Flynas IPO, completed in the second quarter of 2025, added nearly SAR1.5 billion in value.

Assets at the end of 2025 rose 37 percent year on year to SAR75 billion, while liabilities increased 5 percent to SAR16 billion.

Real estate investments, primarily focused on Riyadh assets, reported an 11 percent valuation increase last year to SAR3.5 billion.

Prince Alwaleed, the founder and CEO of KHC, owns 78.13 percent of the company, while the Public Investment Fund holds 16.86 percent, according to data available on the Saudi bourse.
