据油价网2023年8月2日报道，在8月2日公布的最新《财富》全球500强榜单中，沙特石油巨头沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）出人意料地紧随沃尔玛，位居全球第二。《财富》全球500强按收入确定全球最大公司排名。

沃尔玛成为连续第十年营收最高的公司，最近一个财年的营收达到6113亿美元。

沙特阿美排名第二，去年的收入为6037亿美元，比2021年增加51%，这是由于去年的高油价和石油供应紧张，也是由于爆发地缘政治冲突。这家沙特石油巨头的排名上升了四位，从去年的第6位升至今年排名的第2位。  

石油和天然气巨头?？松梨诠竞涂桥乒局鼗亍恫聘弧钒竦デ笆?，这要归功于该行业去年获得的巨额利润。

沙特阿美虽然在收入方面排名全球第二，但却是《财富》全球500强中最赚钱的公司，它在去年实现了约1590亿美元的利润，是全球500强中盈利最多的公司，也是这家上市公司历史上盈利最多的一年。

沙特阿美报告称，该公司去年净利润为1611亿美元，高于前年同期的1100亿美元，该公司的净利润创历史新高。这家沙特石油巨头还夸耀其经营活动产生的现金流达到历史最高水平的1862亿美元，自由现金流达到历史最高水平的1485亿美元。

由于对宏观经济的担忧拖累了今年1月至3月期间的油价，沙特阿美今年第一季度的净利润同比下滑19%至319亿美元。

这家沙特石油巨头将于8月7日公布其今年第二季度收益，由于4月至6月油价较上年同期下跌，预计其第二季度收益也将低于去年。

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.
