Saudi Aramco Q3 Profit Rises 35% Amid Higher Oil Prices and US-Iran Conflict
Saudi Aramco reported a 34.5-35% increase in third-quarter net profit to about USD 36.3 billion, driven by higher oil prices and the sale of its stake in a Malaysian refining joint venture. Adjusted net profit rose around 9% to USD 31.2 billion, exceeding analyst estimates. Despite production disruptions and security risks from the ongoing US-Iran conflict, Aramco maintained exports using its East-West pipeline and US-protected shipping routes, supporting strong refinery margins and revenue growth.
