Aramco beats expectations as higher oil prices and infrastructure advantages support earnings
đ Aramco reported second-quarter adjusted net income of $33.4 billion, up 33% year over year and above market expectations, reflecting the benefit of stronger oil prices during heightened U.S.âIran tensions.
đąïž A key advantage was the 1,200-kilometer East-West pipeline, which helped the company maintain production and exports despite disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
đ° Aramco announced a base dividend of $21.9 billion, while free cash flow reached $12.3 billion. Its balance sheet remained stable despite the gearing ratio rising slightly to 6.2%.
đ The third-quarter outlook will depend heavily on geopolitical developments. Lower tensions and weaker oil prices could reduce earnings, while prolonged disruption would continue to favor Aramcoâs low production costs and flexible export infrastructure.
