Riyadh: Almarai Company is expected to add approximately SAR 70 million as a financial impact of the recent increase in diesel prices, effective 1 January 2026.

Other parts of Almarai’s supply chain are forecast to experience additional indirect cost pressures as a result of the hike, according to a bourse filing.

Meanwhile, the company will continue to focus on business efficiency, cost optimization and other initiatives to mitigate the effect of the diesel price rise.

In December 2025, the board of Almarai recommended cash dividends of SAR 1.15 billion for 2025.
