据海湾新闻网2022年5月15日报道，2019年底，沙特阿美在利雅得进行了首次公开募股（IPO），筹集了近300亿美元。
沙特阿拉伯国有石油巨头沙特阿美5月15日公布，在油价强劲的推动下，沙特阿美第一季度净利润增加近82%，与分析师的预测大体一致。
与美国苹果公司并列全球最有价值企业的沙特阿美公布，截至3月31日第一季度的净利润为395亿美元，去年同期为217亿美元。
根据沙特阿美提供的来自12位分析师的预估中值，这家全球最大石油出口公司预计将公布385亿美元的净利润。
沙特阿美在2019年上市，主要向沙特公共机构和地区机构出售了1.7%的股权。沙特阿美表示，受原油价格、销量和下游利润率改善的推动，其第一季度利润达到上市以来的最高水平。
在大宗商品价格不断上涨的推动下，英国石油公司和壳牌公司等全球能源巨头的盈利已升至至少10年来的最高水平。
第一季度结束时，布伦特原油期货价格比去年3月底上涨近70%，至每桶107.91美元。
欧佩克+联盟5月同意再次小幅上调月度石油产量目标，称不能将供应中断推高油价归咎于欧佩克。
EFG Hermes股票研究副主管Yousef Husseini表示：“我们认为，今年下半年布伦特原油价格将走低，因此我们预计(沙特阿美)届时获利将回落，第二季度将见顶。”
沙特阿美宣布第二季度支付188亿美元的股息，符合市场预期，并批准每10股公司股票分配1股红利。沙特阿美表示，第一季度其下游利润率有所改善，正在寻求开发下游领域的机会。
沙特阿美首席执行官Amin Nasser在一份声明中表示：“在第一季度，我们在亚洲和欧洲的战略下游扩张取得了进一步进展，我们继续开发与我们的增长目标互补的机会。”
自今年年初以来，沙特阿美股价已上涨37%，表现优于上涨近14%的沙特指数。

Saudi Aramco net profit soars 82% in Q1 ’22 on high oil prices
State-owned oil producer Saudi Aramco on Sunday reported an almost 82 per cent rise in first-quarter net profit, broadly in line with analyst forecasts, helped by strong oil prices.
Aramco, which is at par with Apple Inc as the world's most valuable company, reported a net income of $39.5 billion for the quarter to March 31 from $21.7 billion a year earlier.
The world's top oil exporter was forecast to post a net income of $38.5 billion, according to a median estimate from 12 analysts provided by the company.
Aramco, which listed in 2019 with the sale of a 1.7 per cent stake mainly to the Saudi public and regional institutions, said its earnings were the highest in any quarter since it went public, boosted by crude prices, volumes sold and improved downstream margins.
Earnings by global energy companies such as BP and Shell have risen to their highest in at least a decade on the back of rising commodities prices, even as many of them incur mostly write-downs from exiting.
Brent crude prices ended the first quarter up almost 70 per cent to $107.91 a barrel from end of March 2021.
OPEC+ agreed this month to another modest increase in its monthly oil output target, arguing it could not be blamed for disruptions supply that have driven up prices.
"Our view is Brent will end up lower in the second half of the year and so we are expecting (Aramco) earnings to pull back and for the second quarter to be a peak," said Yousef Husseini, associate director for equity research at EFG Hermes.
The company declared a dividend of $18.8 billion to be paid in the second quarter, in line with market expectations, and approved the distribution of one bonus share for every 10 shares held in the company.
Aramco said it saw improved downstream margins in the first quarter and is looking to develop opportunities in the downstream sector.
"During the first quarter, our strategic downstream expansion progressed further in both Asia and Europe, and we continue to develop opportunities that complement our growth objectives," Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said in a statement.
Shares of the company have risen 37 per cent since the start of the year, outperforming the Saudi index which is up nearly 14 per cent.
