  "summary": "Cherry Trading Co. experienced a 39.1% year-on-year decline in net profit to 12.9 million SAR in Q3 2026, despite a 33.2% surge in total revenue to 177.0 million SAR. Rising expenses, including a credit loss provision, offset strong growth in used car sales and fleet leasing, causing margin compression. While revenue grew 39.0% over nine months, net profit fell 10.7%. Investors should monitor the expanding cost structure and the credit loss provision, which signals rising credit risk, and review the change in auditors from the previous year.",
