Jarir Bookstore stock: Board approves SAR 0.30 Q3 dividend

Jarir Marketing Co.'s board approved a third-quarter cash dividend on Sunday, November 8, 2026, as the company continues its regular shareholder distributions. Argaam reported that the dividend is set at SAR 0.30 per share, equal to 30% of the company's capital.

Record date and payment schedule

The planned distribution totals SAR 360 million for 1.2 billion shares. Investors registered with the Securities Depository Center by the end of the second trading day following the record date are eligible for the payment.

The record date is November 16, 2026, while the payment date is November 25, 2026. The schedule gives shareholders a clear near-term reference point as the market assesses Jarir Marketing's latest capital allocation decision.

Recent dividend track record

Argaam's dividend table lists earlier 2026 payments of SAR 0.20 per share for the second quarter and SAR 0.21 per share for the first quarter. The company also paid SAR 0.26 per share for the fourth quarter of 2025.

For the last three financial years, Argaam lists consolidated cash dividends of SAR 2.56 per share. That history places the latest board decision within an established distribution pattern rather than as a standalone payment.

Saudi retail shares remain sensitive to consumer demand, product mix and promotional activity as the regional market moves into the year-end trading period.
