據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)2023年8月2日?qǐng)?bào)道，在8月2日公布的最新《財(cái)富》全球500強(qiáng)榜單中，沙特石油巨頭沙特阿拉伯國(guó)家石油公司（沙特阿美）出人意料地緊隨沃爾瑪，位居全球第二。《財(cái)富》全球500強(qiáng)按收入確定全球最大公司排名。

沃爾瑪成為連續(xù)第十年?duì)I收最高的公司，最近一個(gè)財(cái)年的營(yíng)收達(dá)到6113億美元。

沙特阿美排名第二，去年的收入為6037億美元，比2021年增加51%，這是由于去年的高油價(jià)和石油供應(yīng)緊張，也是由于爆發(fā)地緣政治沖突。這家沙特石油巨頭的排名上升了四位，從去年的第6位升至今年排名的第2位。  

石油和天然氣巨頭埃克森美孚公司和殼牌公司重回《財(cái)富》榜單前十，這要?dú)w功于該行業(yè)去年獲得的巨額利潤(rùn)。

沙特阿美雖然在收入方面排名全球第二，但卻是《財(cái)富》全球500強(qiáng)中最賺錢(qián)的公司，它在去年實(shí)現(xiàn)了約1590億美元的利潤(rùn)，是全球500強(qiáng)中盈利最多的公司，也是這家上市公司歷史上盈利最多的一年。

沙特阿美報(bào)告稱，該公司去年凈利潤(rùn)為1611億美元，高于前年同期的1100億美元，該公司的凈利潤(rùn)創(chuàng)歷史新高。這家沙特石油巨頭還夸耀其經(jīng)營(yíng)活動(dòng)產(chǎn)生的現(xiàn)金流達(dá)到歷史最高水平的1862億美元，自由現(xiàn)金流達(dá)到歷史最高水平的1485億美元。

由于對(duì)宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)的擔(dān)憂拖累了今年1月至3月期間的油價(jià)，沙特阿美今年第一季度的凈利潤(rùn)同比下滑19%至319億美元。

這家沙特石油巨頭將于8月7日公布其今年第二季度收益，由于4月至6月油價(jià)較上年同期下跌，預(yù)計(jì)其第二季度收益也將低于去年。

Saudi Aramco Closes In On Walmart As World’s Top Firm By Revenue

Saudi oil giant Aramco was a surprisingly close second to Walmart in the latest Fortune Global 500 list—the ranking of the world’s largest companies by revenue—published on Wednesday.  

Walmart retains its top spot as the biggest company by revenue for the tenth year in a row, with $611.3 billion in revenue in its most recent fiscal year.

Saudi Aramco was second, with revenues of $603.7 billion in 2022, up by 51% compared to 2021, due to high prices and tighter oil supply last year, also due to the war. The Saudi oil giant jumped up four places, from number 6 in last year’s Fortune ranking to no.2 in this year’s list.

Oil and gas supermajors Exxon and Shell returned in the top ten on the Fortune list, thanks to the huge profits the industry raked in last year.

Saudi Aramco, while second in the world in terms of revenue, was the most profitable company in the Fortune Global 500 list, as it booked about $159 billion in profits in 2022, the largest earnings grab among any of the firms in the Global 500—and the most profitable year in history for a publicly traded company.  

Saudi Aramco reported a net profit of $161.1 billion for 2022, up from $110 billion a year earlier, and a record net earnings result for the company. The Saudi giant also boasted a record cash flow from operating activities, at $186.2 billion, and a record free cash flow, at $148.5 billion.

Aramco’s net income for the first quarter of 2023 slid by 19% year over year to $31.9 billion as macroeconomic concerns dragged down oil prices between January and March 2023.

The Saudi giant reports second-quarter earnings on August 7, and those are also expected to be lower than last year’s amid lower oil prices from April to June compared to a year earlier.
