据OE网站8月5日报道，石化巨头沙特基础工业公司(SABIC)季度利润为20亿美元，并表示，在合理需求和油价上涨的支持下，预计2021年下半年将继续保持稳健的业绩。

　　根据Refinitiv的数据显示，全球销售额和资产价值排名第四的石油化工公司沙特基础工业公司(SABIC)第二季度盈利20亿美元(去年同期亏损5.92亿美元)，超过了6位分析师平均预测的16亿美元。

　　该公司首席执行官 Yousef al-Benyan在虚拟新闻发布会上表示，在油价上涨和需求健康的支持下，平均售价上涨了10%以上。我们预计2021年下半年将与上半年相似。

　　沙特基础工业公司第二季度的销售额从去年同期的246亿里亚尔跃升72.3%，达到424亿里亚尔。

　　Benyan表示，该公司由沙特石油巨头沙特阿美（Saudi Aramco）持有70%的股份，其将继续专注于沙特市场，以及美国和非洲，并在那里探索增长机会，尽管他没有透露细节。

　　沙特基础工业早些时候在一份交易所文件中表示，今年将是比 去年年更强劲的一年，其预计利润率将放缓但仍保持健康，因为油价和原料成本仍然高企、供应限制缓解以及新产能投产。

　　SABIC Profits Soar, 2H Looks 'Strong' Too

　　Petrochemicals giant Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) swung to a $2 billion quarterly profit and said it expects solid performance to continue in the second half of 2021, backed by healthy demand and rising oil prices.

　　SABIC, the world's fourth-biggest petrochemicals company by sales and asset value, swung to a second-quarter profit of $2 billion (up from a $592M loss in the same period last year) beating the average forecast of $1.6B by six analysts according to Refinitiv data.

　　"Average selling prices rose by more than 10% backed by oil price increases and healthier demand. We expect the second half of 2021 to be similar to the first half," CEO Yousef al-Benyan told a virtual news conference.

　　SABIC sales jumped 72.3% to 42.4 billion riyals in the second quarter from 24.6 billion a year earlier.

　　Benyan said his company, which is 70% owned by Saudi oil giant Saudi Aramco, will remain focused on the Saudi market, as well as the United States and Africa, where it is exploring growth opportunities, although he did not give details.

　　SABIC said earlier in a bourse filing that 2021 is set to be a stronger year than 2020, and it expects margins to moderate but remain healthy as oil prices and feedstock costs remain elevated, supply constraints ease and new capacity comes on line.
