  • Saudi Arabia: Monday, October 22 - 2012 at 17:38

The Tadawul All-Share Index fell the fourth day straight Monday, ending down 0.56% to hit 6,741.82 points. Kingdom Holding Company, the investment vehicle mostly owned by H. H. Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal Al-Saud, added 1.30%, closing at SR15.60. Earlier in the day, Kingdom Holding said the net income in the third quarter was SR217.8m compared to the net income of SR197.7m for the same quarter in 2011, representing an increase of 10.2 %, and compared to the net income for the last quarter of SR178.9m, an increase of 21.7%. Commenting on the results, the holding said "The increase in net income for the third quarter is due to income of real estate investments, dividends from investments in financial markets, improvement of performance from associate companies and reversal of impairment loss despite the low performance of international hotel companies as a result of current events in the Middle East."
