Saudi Vision 2030. 14 Sectors.
14 Verdicts.

Every week, allocators and operators deploy capital into Saudi Arabia based on a PIF announcement and a feasibility deck. This report does the opposite. It screens all 14 Vision 2030 sectors across 4 independent analytical lenses and returns a clear sector view on each. Two ATTRACTIVE. Four SELECTIVE. Five NEUTRAL. Three AVOID. 13 pages. Free for allocators making decisions in 2026.

The Premise
Vision 2030 has become a narrative. Our job is to turn it back into a decision: attractive, selective, neutral or avoid, at the sector level, with the kill criteria that would invalidate each call.
The 14 Sectors

Every sector. One verdict. No fence-sitting.

Each sector is screened across four lenses: macro and fiscal context, regulatory architecture, unit economics and return potential, and the specific kill criterion that would flip the verdict. Verdicts are deliberate. We do not hedge.

What You Get

13 pages. No fluff. No hedging.

This is not a feasibility study. It is a screen. Built for decision-makers who need a sector view by the end of the week, not the end of the quarter.

01
Executive Verdict Stack. One-line position on each of the 14 sectors. Verdict, target return band, preferred sub-sector, and the specific kill criterion that would invalidate the call.
02
Macro and Fiscal Reality Check. Oil price sensitivity, PIF deployment pace, Saudi fiscal deficit trajectory, and the structural difference between 2015 and 2026.
03
The Contrarian Finding. Why the two ATTRACTIVE sectors are not the ones most investors are chasing in 2026. Evidence and kill criteria.
04
Sector Deep Dives. One page per sector. Regulatory architecture (SAMA, SFDA, CMA, SDAIA), demand driver, unit economics, and the specific Vision 2030 lever that matters.
05
Target Return Bands. Gross and net IRR ranges by verdict bucket. ATTRACTIVE targets gross 22 to 28%, net 18 to 22%. SELECTIVE targets gross 15 to 20%.
06
Early Warning Dashboard. Six structural signals that would force a re-rating across all sectors. Brent trajectory, PIF asset moves, Saudi CDS spreads, Saudization enforcement.
