The 7 Largest Saudi Arabian Companies Generated Total Earnings in 2016 Which Were Down 1% From That in 2015

From a review of the fine Google Financial website and of company earnings statements at Company websites, I found 7 Saudi Companies with stock market caps now above 50 Bil Saudi Arabian Riyal (SRs).

One of these eight Saudi Companies did not disclose its financial statements in English at its company website.

All of these Saudi Companies prepared their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and received unqualified opinions from one of the prestigious Big 4 CPA firms.

Below here is Net Income for the two most recent years for each of these 7 Saudi Companies:
