Saudi Telecom unveiled an AI-native network plan on October 19, 2026, while Yahoo Finance listed a SAR 48.11 average analyst target for Saudi Telecom stock. The plan aims to move the group's telecom network toward AI-native operations by 2030, according to PR Newswire.

AI investment broadens the story

The white paper covers AI-native infrastructure, network functions and autonomous operations. It also connects the plan with 5G-Advanced, AI-enabled services and future 6G applications, giving the company a technology milestone beyond its traditional mobile and fixed-line business.

The October 5, 2026 expansion plan placed digital solutions and investments in logistics, tourism, sports and real estate alongside telecommunications. Argaam reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of SAR 19.90 billion and net income of SAR 3.70 billion in that context.

What does the quarter imply?

Saudi Telecom's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached SAR 20.17 billion and net income was SAR 3.62 billion. Yahoo Finance also showed normalized earnings per share of SAR 0.72 against a SAR 0.68 estimate for the quarter, a concrete comparison that puts execution ahead of expectations.

Three dates shape the setup

The recent sequence began with the October 5, 2026 digital expansion, followed by a one-week roaming offer announced on October 12, 2026. Mubasher said the offer covered customers outside Saudi Arabia. The October 19, 2026 AI network white paper is the latest event.

The next substantiated date is October 28, 2026, when Saudi Telecom is scheduled to report third-quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2026, according to finanzen.net.
