Real Estate & Lodging
Strategic Profile
Established in 1998 as Intermediate Real Estate Development Company, Sokouk underwent restructuring in 2005 and was transformed into a holding company with a focus on diversified real estate activities. The company leverages Sharia-compliant investment instruments and holds interests in multiple subsidiaries engaged in real estate and trading activities.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Sokouk demonstrates cyclical profitability with historical losses, particularly evident in 2018 when it reported significant quarterly losses. Recent financial data shows modest profitability in some periods (Q3 2019) but with volatile performance patterns. The company's market capitalization of approximately $41M indicates a smaller-cap position with limited scale.
