On March 10, CNBC reported that Saudi Aramco announced its full-year 2025 financial results, showing strong growth. The adjusted net profit for the year reached $104.7 billion, surpassing market expectations. Fourth-quarter profit was $25.1 billion, higher than the consensus estimate of $24.8 billion. Free cash flow for the year totaled $85.4 billion.
The company also announced a quarterly dividend of $21.89 billion, up 3.5% year-over-year, to be paid in the first quarter of 2026. Total shareholder dividends for the year reached $85.5 billion, maintaining a leading position globally and providing significant revenue for the Saudi government. To reward shareholders, Saudi Aramco also launched an $3 billion, 18-month share buyback program.
CEO Amin Nasser stated that the company achieved stable financial performance despite volatile oil prices, thanks to low-cost and highly reliable operations, as well as prudent capital allocation. Last year, operating cash flow reached $136.2 billion, with capital investments of $52.2 billion, slightly below the level in 2024.
The average oil price in 2025 is expected to decline to $69.2 per barrel, but with threats of war in Iran affecting Middle Eastern supply, crude oil prices recently surged to nearly $120 per barrel, driving a significant increase in Saudi Aramco’s stock price. Market analysts noted that Saudi Aramco’s ability to maintain high dividends amid global oil market tensions highlights its operational resilience and financial stability.
This earnings and dividend announcement not only reflects Saudi Aramco’s profitability during oil price fluctuations but also demonstrates its capacity as the world’s largest crude oil exporter to create value for shareholders even amid increasing supply risks in the energy market. As tensions in the Middle East escalate and uncertainties in the oil market grow, Saudi Aramco’s cash flow and dividend policies remain closely watched and are expected to continue attracting global investors.
