  "account": "Almarai reported a 11% increase in quarterly revenue to 6.19 billion riyals for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 5.55 billion riyals in the same period last year. Total revenue for the first nine months of 2026 grew by 10% to 18.22 billion riyals, up from 16.61 billion riyals in the same period in 2025. Net profit for Q3 2026 remained steady at 617.8 million riyals, a slight 1% increase from 613.2 million riyals in Q3 2025. However, the company's overall net profit stayed nearly unchanged at 1.99 billion riyals compared to the same period in 2025. CEO Fawaz Al-Jasser credited revenue growth to sustained demand for core products and operational discipline, noting that investments have enhanced Almarai's ability to serve consumers across various markets. The dairy and juice segment saw continued demand and an improved revenue mix, while the bakery segment benefited from sales mix, product innovation, and cost management. In the poultry, seafood, and meat segment, net profit declined due to supply conditions and higher distribution costs.",
