Discussions are ongoing, and bidders may withdraw or Al Watania Poultry could ultimately decide not to proceed with the sale, they added.

 

In December 2024, Bloomberg reported that Al Watania Poultry’s owners were considering a sale and had appointed Saudi Fransi Capital as an advisor for the process, with the deal potentially valued at around SAR 2 billion, according to data compiled by Argaam.

 

In 2015 and 2016, media reports surfaced about Al Watania Poultry’s plans to list a stake in the Saudi stock market.

 

Founded in 1977 by Suleiman Al-Rajhi, Al Watania Poultry has a production capacity exceeding one million chickens and 1.5 million eggs per day.
