Tadawul unveils streamlined stock split process to ensure prompt portfolio tweaks
The Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) announced today, June 26, changes to its stock split mechanism, thus ensuring that changes in share quantities and nominal values are reflected in investors' portfolios immediately.
Accordingly, the adjusted shares are tradable as of the first trading session after the stock split decision is passed, according to a statement.
This streamlined stock split process should support investors in making faster, more informed investment decisions, ensuring no misalignment in the stock price and share quantity during its implementation, the statement noted.
Related benefits for investors most notably include:
- Immediate reflection of the adjusted share quantity and price from the first trading session after the stock split decision is approved, being reflected in investors' portfolios immediately.
- Adjusted stocks will be tradable from the first trading session as of the stock split decision's approval date.
- More efficient portfolio tracking and management on the day of the stock split for investors.
- Alignment with global best practices.
This enhancement is operational in nature and does not impact the procedure of stock splits or its requirements for listed companies.
Issuers intending to split their stocks can continue to do so without any change to existing mechanisms.
It also noted that this enhancement will take effect as of July 1.

Saudi Arabia provides $30m in support for Palestinian Authority
LONDON: Saudi Arabia has delivered $30 million to the Palestinian Authority to help alleviate the severe financial crisis it faces, which is blamed on Israeli policies designed to weaken it. The assistance was presented in Amman on Thursday to the Palestinian minister of finance, Omar Al-Bitar, by Mohammed Mounis, the acting chargé d'affaires at the Saudi Embassy in Jordan. Al-Bitar commended the Kingdom for the ongoing financial and political support it provides for Palestinians and their rights to independence and statehood. He thanked King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their leadership, and acknowledged the political, economic and humanitarian support they provide for his country. The minister added that the money given by Saudi Arabia is a significant contribution that is helping the Palestinian Authority cope with a financial crisis that is exacerbated by the policies of a far-right Israeli government. The financial support has been instrumental to the Palestinian Authority's efforts to maintain the health and education sectors, the Palestine News Agency reported. It has helped meet the costs of running hospitals, purchasing medicines and medical equipment, keeping schools open, and paying the salaries of medical staff, teachers and administrative workers. Over the years, support provided by the Kingdom for the Palestinian people has exceeded $5.3 billion for a total of 289 projects, according to figures from Saudi aid agency KSrelief. Mounis said his country remains committed to support for the Palestinian government, to help it fulfill its financial obligations and assist its people during this time of economic and humanitarian hardship, the Saudi Press Agency reported. He reaffirmed the Kingdom's steadfast support for upholding the rights of the Palestinian people.
