Juhayna’s stock rally reinforces market confidence

This upward momentum has lifted Juhayna’s market capitalization beyond $715 million, delivering notable returns to shareholders, including Thabet. The company’s strong fundamentals and strategic market positioning continue to attract institutional and high-net-worth investors.
How Juhayna’s growth translates to investor gains

The gains reinforce the company’s status as a key player in the industry, benefiting from both consumer demand and strategic expansion.
