The Saudi market (TASI) is unforgiving. If you are still reading financial statements the traditional way and wasting hours tracking news on "Argaam," you are burning your time and energy. In the business world, focus should be directed toward one thing only: High-Leverage Tasks. The rest should be automated or delegated.
In May 2026, Anthropic released terrifying updates to the Claude model, transforming it from a mere "chatbot" that recites words into a financial and software agent (Agent) that can literally manage your complex research. Whether you are managing your business and investing while traveling or sitting in a luxury cafe in Dubai, this tool will help you limit your effort to the "3 golden hours" daily.
What's new in Claude (May 2026 updates) and how to employ them?
Before we dive into the prompts, you must know the new weapons at your disposal:
- Claude Code & Managed Agents: This is the most important update. It's no longer limited to chat; Claude Code now runs directly from your terminal. It can read your portfolio's CSV files, write Python scripts for backtesting your strategies, and execute them locally.
- Claude Opus 4.7: The smartest and most powerful in deep analysis and complex logic. It can process hundreds of pages of financial reports with extreme accuracy.
- Artifacts & Claude Design: A feature that allows you to generate interactive dashboards and market sector charts in a side panel without needing external software.
- Massive Context (200K+ Tokens): You can upload board reports for 10 Saudi companies at once, and it will extract hidden risks that the average trader ignores.
10 Powerful Prompts to Tame the Saudi Market via Claude
Copy these prompts and modify them based on the company you are targeting. They are designed to be strategic, aggressive, and time-saving.
- Adversarial Analysis
Instead of looking for reasons for a stock's success, look for reasons for its collapse. This makes you see what the market is blind to.
Prompt: "Act as an institutional-grade equity analyst for the Saudi Stock Market (TASI). Perform a deep-dive, adversarial analysis of [Company Name, e.g., Elm or Al Rajhi]. Start with the bull case (moat sustainability, government contracts, secular tailwinds). Then aggressively pivot to the bear case (2-3 risks that could permanently impair the business, margin compression, high expectations). Perform a pre-mortem: if this stock drops 40% in the next year, what exactly caused it? Generate a contrarian view of what the TASI market is currently refusing to see."
- Covered Calls Strategy
Tgenerating cash is king. This prompt is designed to build a regular income strategy away from uncalculated risks.
Prompt: "I want to generate consistent income using options on high-quality, blue-chip Tadawul stocks (e.g., Aramco, Al Rajhi, SABIC). Create a strict, step-by-step strategy for selling Covered Calls only. I absolutely do not want to use or sell cash-secured puts. Define the rules for selecting strike prices, expiration dates, and how to manage the position if the stock price spikes unexpectedly, ensuring my capital is protected while maximizing premium income."
- Automating Backtesting (via Claude Code)
Use this prompt inside the Terminal window (Claude Code) to write code that tests your strategy on market data.
Prompt: "Using the historical daily price data from the 'TASI_history.csv' file in this directory, write and execute a Python script using pandas and backtrader. Test a moving average crossover strategy (e.g., 50-day crossing above 200-day) combined with RSI levels. Factor in a 0.15% transaction fee. Output the final ROI, max drawdown, and a list of the top 3 performing trades. Do not explain the code, just run it and show me the final performance metrics."
- Deconstructing Industrial Supply Chains
Excellent for the petrochemical or cement sectors to know who controls the real cost.
Prompt: "Explain the complete supply chain for [Company Name, e.g., SABIC or Aramco]. I want the output to be a detailed map from upstream raw materials all the way to the end global customer. Identify all major stakeholders, suppliers, and buyers. Specifically point out where the biggest margin compressions could occur if global shipping rates or commodity prices fluctuate."
- Earnings Call Summaries (Save your time)
Don't waste hours reading PDFs or listening to calls.
Prompt: "Attached are the transcripts for the Q1 2026 earnings calls for the top 3 banks in Saudi Arabia. Create a highly scannable, executive summary focusing only on: 1) Revenue/Profit vs Expectations, 2) Changes in management tone regarding interest rates, 3) Balance sheet red flags (loans, deposits), and 4) Forward guidance. Give me only the data that moves the needle. I have 3 minutes to read this."
- Analyzing the "Economic Moat" for Saudi Tech Companies
Important for the IT and SaaS sectors like (Elm, Solutions, MIS).
Prompt: "Analyze [Tech Company Name]. What are its exact competitive advantages and economic moats? Compare its product offerings and B2B/B2G contracts with its main local competitors. Evaluate the switching costs for its clients. How much pricing power does this company actually have when renewing government or enterprise contracts?"
- Comparing Sectors Using Artifacts
This prompt will make Claude create an interactive interface for you.
Prompt: "Using the Artifacts feature, create an interactive, visually high-end dashboard comparing the 'Petrochemicals' sector vs the 'Banking' sector in TASI over the last 5 years. Include key metrics like average Dividend Yield, P/E ratio expansion/contraction, and correlation to Brent Crude prices. Use a minimalist, full black background with white text and geometric lines (no icons)."
- Management Assessment and Capital Allocation
Companies are ultimately about people.
Prompt: "Assess the current executive management team of [Company Name]. 1) Track record: What have they actually delivered in prior roles? 2) Capital allocation history: Do they reinvest in high-ROI projects, acquire companies wisely, or destroy shareholder value? 3) Red flags: Are there frequent strategy pivots or promotional behavior? Base your analysis on their actions over the last 3 years."
- Risk Management and Position Sizing
Because protecting profits is more important than making them, especially if you use leverage in other markets and know the value of risk management.
Prompt: "I have a portfolio of 5 Saudi stocks. I want to strictly limit my risk. Calculate the optimal position sizing for a new entry into [New Stock Name] assuming my total portfolio value is X. My rule is that any single open position must not exceed 5% of my total capital risk. Provide the exact mathematical formula and the stop-loss level required to maintain this strict risk profile."
- Extracting "Hidden Gems" in Growth Stocks (Small/Mid Caps)
To search for opportunities that haven't exploded yet.
Prompt: "Act as a specialized screener for the Saudi Parallel Market (Nomu) or Small Cap TASI stocks. Based on the Q1 2026 financial data, identify 3 companies that meet the following criteria: 1) Consistent QoQ revenue growth of at least 15%, 2) High insider ownership, 3) Operating in scalable sectors (tech, specialized logistics, healthcare). Provide a brief, bulleted thesis for why each stock is currently mispriced by the broader market."
Using AI in this way transforms the financial analysis process from a boring routine into a high-efficiency productivity machine. The idea is not to ask Claude about the stock price, but to make it analyze, program, and deconstruct complex data on your behalf, so you can direct your full focus toward making decisions that maximize net profits.
