沙特阿美的利润排名居首，其次是科技巨头苹果公司和微软公司

全球能源危机使3家石油和天然气公司进入前8名，而2019年只有一家

许多国有企业的盈利能力仍然未知，因为它们没有上市

据油价网2023年8月17日报道，根据福布斯全球2000强名单，由于地缘政治冲突后全球能源危机导致石油和天然气价格飙升，沙特国有石油巨头沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）再次成为世界上最赚钱的公司，这一次沙特阿美大大领先于排名第二的苹果公司。

据全球领先的研究型数据统计公司Statista的Katharina Buchholz报道，在全球最赚钱的8家公司中，现在有3家石油和天然气巨头，而2019年只有一家。

在2019年底上市之前，沙特阿美已经成为世界上最赚钱的公司。

此前，苹果公司一直是世界上最赚钱的企业，但那一年被亚军伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司挤至第三名。

苹果公司和微软公司在2020年再次升至第2名和第3名，因为这两家公司主要受益于在疫情早期人们大量使用电脑和社交媒体进行工作——到2022年仍是如此。

由于只有上市公司或计划在证券交易所上市的公司利润是已知的，因此世界上有大量公司，特别是国有公司的利润仍然未知，没有被列入福布斯全球2000强名单。

福布斯全球2000强名单前5家公司和2022年盈利为沙特阿美（1564亿美元）、苹果公司（943亿美元）、微软公司（690亿美元）、埃克森美孚（617亿美元），壳牌以435亿美元位列第八。

Saudi Aramco Tops Profit Chart, Leaving Tech Titans In Its Wake

·     Saudi Aramco leads the profit rankings, followed by tech giants Apple and Microsoft.

·     The global energy crisis has brought three oil and gas companies to the top 8, a significant increase from just one in 2019.

·     The profitability of many state companies remains unknown as they are not publicly listed.

According to the Forbes Global 2000, Saudi state oil enterprise Saudi Aramco is once again the world's most profitable company - this time with a big lead over second-placed Apple as oil and gas prices skyrocketed as part of the global energy crisis in the aftermath of the geopolitical conflicts.

As Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports, there are now three oil and gas giants among the top 8 most profitable companies in the world - up from just one in 2019.

Saudi Aramco had already been touted as the most profitable company in the world before going public in late 2019.

Previously, Apple had been the world's most profitable business endeavor, but was relegated to rank 3 that year by runner-up Berkshire Hathaway.

Apple and Microsoft rose again into ranks 2 and 3 in 2020, as the companies benefited majorly from people working and socializing online during the early stages of the pandemic - where they remain in 2022.

Since profits are known only for publicly listed companies or those planning to become listed on a stock exchange, the earnings of a large number of companies around the world, especially state companies, remain unknown and are not included on the list.
