据美国油价网2022年5月17日报道，知情人士周二（5月17日）告诉美国彭博新闻社记者，沙特阿拉伯石油巨头沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美/Aramco）时下正在与主要国际银行讨论将其旗下贸易部门阿美贸易公司30%股份上市的可能性，该贸易公司估值可能在300亿美元左右。
彭博新闻社消息人士称，沙特阿美是世界上最大的石油生产商和市值最高的石油公司，沙特阿美时下正在与包括高盛、摩根士丹利和摩根大通在内的国际著名银行就沙特阿美贸易公司进行首次公开募股(IPO)的可能性进行谈判。
如果沙特阿美决定实施这一计划(目前这一计划仍有可能改变，而且这家沙特石油巨头可能放弃这一想法)，沙特阿美贸易公司的IPO可能成为今年全球最大的股份上市交易之一。
两位彭博新闻社消息人士称，沙特阿美贸易部门的估值可能高达300亿美元，而据报道，这家沙特能源巨头正考虑将其麾下的贸易部门30%的股份上市。今年迄今为止，规模最大的IPO是韩国电池制造商LG能源解决方案公司，后者在今年1月份通过IPO筹集了108亿美元。
据悉，沙特阿美正在寻求利用油价飙升和推进全球石油交易业务。
沙特阿美贸易公司成立于2011年，是沙特阿美旗下的贸易部门，已经从贸易精制石油产品、调和组分、大宗石化产品和聚烯烃，发展到原油和液化天然气贸易。该公司网站称，2016年，阿美贸易公司将业务扩展至第三方贸易。
在今年第一季度，这是有史以来最动荡的一个季度，石油巨头，特别是欧洲的石油巨头壳牌公司、英国石油公司和法国道达尔能源公司，报告了出色的贸易业绩，这主要是因为他们获得了多年来最高的季度收益，以及创纪录的天然气价格和2014年以来最高的油价。
沙特阿美上周末公布，其第一季度净利润为395亿美元，同比增加82%，创下3年前上市以来的最高季度利润纪录。

Saudi Aramco Considers Listing $30 Billion Trading Arm As Oil Prices Soar
Saudi oil giant Aramco is discussing with major international banks the possibility of listing 30 percent of its trading arm, Aramco Trading, 100 percent of which could be valued at around $30 billion, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg on Tuesday.
Saudi Aramco, the world’s single biggest oil producer and most valuable oil company by market capitalization, is in talks with banks including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. about the potential to carry out an initial public offering (IPO) of Aramco Trading, Bloomberg’s source say.
If Aramco decides to go through with the plan—which still may change and the oil giant may back out of the idea--Aramco Trading’s IPO could become one of the largest stock market listings in the world this year.
Aramco Trading could be valued at as much as $30 billion, two of Bloomberg’s sources said, while the Saudi giant is reportedly considering listing 30 percent of the trading arm. So far this year, the largest IPO was South Korea’s battery manufacturer LG Energy Solution, which raised $10.8 billion in January.
Aramco is now reportedly looking to capitalize on the surging oil prices and oil trading business globally amid supply constraints and altered trade flows .
Aramco Trading was established as Saudi Aramco’s trading arm in 2011 and has grown from trading refined products, bulk petrochemicals, and polyolefins, to crude and LNG trading. In 2016, Aramco Trading expanded into third-party trading, its website says.
During Q1 2022, the most volatile quarter on record, oil majors, especially Europe’s supermajors Shell, BP, and TotalEnergies, reported “exceptional” trading results, which contributed to their highest quarterly earnings in years, together with record high natural gas prices and the highest oil prices since 2014.
Saudi Aramco, for its part, reported this weekend a net profit of $39.5 billion for the first quarter, an 82-percent annual jump and a record quarterly profit for Aramco since it went public three years ago.
