Bupa Arabia reports 5% drop in Q3 profit to 345 million riyals
Bupa Arabia’s third-quarter profit fell 5% year-on-year to 345 million riyals, citing one-off gains last year and higher operating expenses.
Bupa Arabia experienced a 5% decline in profit for the third quarter of 2026, reporting a net profit of 345 million riyals.

Additionally, net other income fell by 20.24% to 11.38 million riyals, down from 14.27 million riyals in the previous year.
Despite these challenges, net investment income increased by 14% to 214 million riyals, up from 187 million riyals in the same quarter a year ago. The overall net profit for the quarter amounted to 1.04 billion riyals, slightly higher than the 1.03 billion riyals reported in the corresponding period of the previous year.
