 recommendation on Fawaz Alhokair, upping the target price to SAR 128 from SAR 120.
 
The brokerage said the apparel retailer’s Q1-2015 net profit came well above its SAR 126 million estimate and the average consensus expectations of SAR 156 million.
​ ​
The solid earnings were sparked by lower-than-expected taxes. 
 
Alhokair posted a net profit of SAR 803 million for the first quarter, with a four percent rise year-on-year.
