Saudi Arabia's stock market rebound looks poised to continue next week as a spate of encouraging corporate earnings reports has boosted sentiment and valuations look attractive after the market's recent sharp correction.

Analysts now expect blue chips, which have underperformed small caps this year, will lead shares higher.
