    Jahez International Company for Information Systems Technology, listed on the Saudi Exchange since 2022, announced the signing of a SAR 150M ($40M) Sharia-compliant financing agreement with the National Bank of Bahrain.
    The facility spans eight years and is secured against the company\u2019s new headquarters building. The financing will primarily be used to cover capital expenditures related to the new HQ.<\/p>\n

    Market Reaction and Financial Performance<\/h2>\n

    The announcement coincided with a 0.81% dip in Jahez\u2019s share price at the start of Tuesday\u2019s trading session, bringing the stock down to SAR 23.16.
    The company also reported a 22% decline in Q2 2025 net profit, recording SAR 23.6M ($6.29M) compared to SAR 30.2M ($8.05M) in the same period last year.
    Jahez attributed the drop mainly to lower adjusted EBITDA levels, in addition to higher depreciation expenses.<\/p>\n

    Expansion Through Acquisition of Snoonu<\/h2>\n

    In July 2025, Jahez expanded its regional footprint by acquiring a 76.56% stake in Qatari delivery platform Snoonu in a deal valued at $245M.
    The acquisition included 8.1M shares (75% of capital) purchased for $225M in cash and shares, followed by the subscription of 723,960 new shares (1.56%) for $20M in cash, raising Jahez\u2019s total stake to 76.56%.<\/p>\n

    This move marks Jahez\u2019s first direct entry into the Qatari market, reinforcing its regional growth strategy across the Gulf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
