Saudi Aramco keeps dividend despite profit drop of 73%

Net profit at Saudi Aramco (ARMCO) slumped 73% to 24.6B riyals ($6.57B) in the second quarter (vs. estimates of 31.3B riyals), as a plunge in energy demand – due to the coronavirus crisis – weighed on sales of the world’s biggest oil producer.

The majority state-owned company still maintained its Q2 dividend of $18.75B, unlike BP and Royal Dutch Shell, which cut their dividends in recent months. Aramco capex for 2020 is expected to be at the lower end of a $25B-$30B range.

“We are seeing a partial recovery in the energy market as countries around the world take steps to ease restrictions and reboot their economies,” CEO Amin Nasser said in a statement, as shares rose 0.3% in Riyadh.

“Aramco figures are healthy compared to other global peers,” added Mazen al-Sudairi, head of research at Al Rajhi Capital. “This was the worst quarter in the modern history of oil industry, and surviving it with healthy figures points to a very positive outlook.”

The results also come a week after Aramco, which listed in Riyadh last year in a record $29.4B flotation, relinquished its title as the world’s largest listed company by market cap to Apple.

    “The jihad of yourself comes by means of truth, and we have to start here, and I’m not negating… I already started the khutbah by telling you about the jihad with the weapons. You’re never gonna get there, and we’ll never get there, and there’ll never be that again, unless we change what is in ourselves, unless you control yourself”
