SNB stock trades steadily as Saudi National Bank highlights profit resilience

Saudi National Bank (SNB) (ISIN SA13C010V014) stock continues to mirror the earnings power of the Riyadh based lender, as the group reported higher profit, expanding lending volumes, and robust capital ratios in its latest full year results according to Saudi National Bank investor information for fiscal 2025.

Net income rises 7 percent

According to financial data published by Saudi National Bank for fiscal 2025, the bank generated net income of roughly SAR 21.0 billion, up about 7 percent compared with around SAR 19.6 billion in fiscal 2024, underscoring resilient profitability in a higher rate environment.

Over the same period, operating income reached approximately SAR 35.0 billion in 2025 versus about SAR 33.0 billion in 2024, indicating mid single digit growth and demonstrating that core banking revenues from net interest income and fees continued to expand on the back of increased lending and customer activity.

The net interest margin remained healthy, as management highlighted the benefit of domestic rate settings on asset yields, while funding costs were supported by a large base of low cost deposits and strong liquidity, contributing to the rise in net income.

Loan book expands and capital remains strong

In its 2025 reporting, Saudi National Bank disclosed that total loans and advances reached roughly SAR 600 billion, compared with around SAR 560 billion a year earlier, reflecting loan growth on the order of 7 percent driven by corporate, retail, and public sector exposures in the Kingdom.

Customer deposits increased in parallel, standing near SAR 700 billion at the end of 2025 versus approximately SAR 660 billion at the end of 2024, helping to fund loan growth while maintaining a stable loan to deposit ratio within management’s targeted range for prudent balance sheet management.

Capital strength remained a key support for SNB stock, as the bank reported a total capital adequacy ratio comfortably above regulatory minimums, with a common equity Tier 1 ratio in the mid teens percent range at year end 2025, giving room for continued lending growth and dividend payments while absorbing potential credit losses.

Retail banking supports earnings base

Retail banking remains a central earnings pillar for Saudi National Bank, with millions of individual customers using current accounts, savings products, personal loans, cards, and digital channels, helping the bank generate stable fee and commission income alongside interest income.

Management has emphasized ongoing investment in digital platforms and mobile banking, aiming to deepen customer engagement and reduce servicing costs, which can support the cost to income ratio over time by shifting more transactions to lower cost channels while maintaining customer satisfaction.
