The Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) attracted many initial public offerings (IPOs) in the last few years. In 2019, the Saudi market had the biggest share sale on record by Saudi Aramco, which raised SAR 96 billion, along with other IPOs debuting in the Main Market and Nomu-Parallel Market.

In 2020, only three listings were witnessed by Tadawul amid the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, including Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Services Group, Amlak International for Real Estate Finance Co. and BinDawood Holding Co.

In 2021, nine companies listed their shares, namely Alkhorayef Water and Power Technologies Co., Theeb Rent a Car Co., Tanmiah Food Co., Arabian Internet and Communications Services Co. (solutions), ACWA Power, Arabian Contracting Services Co. (Al Arabia), Nayifat Finance Co., Saudi Tadawul Group Holding Co. and Almunajem Foods Co.

The IPO momentum continued this year, with seven new listings to date on Tadawul, including Elm Co., East Pipes Integrated Company for Industry, Scientific and Medical Equipment House Co. (Equipment House), Al-Dawaa Medical Services Co. (DMSCO), Nahdi Medical Co., and Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Co. (AMAK).

In a statement to Argaam, the Capital Market Authority (CMA) earlier said the year 2021 witnessed a surge in the number of IPOs that reached a record level at 21. In the first quarter of 2022, IPOs continued at a fast pace, reaching 18, to reflect the market regulator’s increasing role to finance economic growth.

Moreover, Tadawul CEO Mohammed Al-Rumaih said that nearly 100 companies filed for listing shares on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul).

Since Aramco’s listing, Tadawul All-Share Index (TASI) jumped nearly 68%, gaining more than 5,450 points and hitting record levels since 2006.
