Oil Prices Strike Again
Ah the whims of the oil market much like the ever changing nature of subatomic particles. Saudi Aramco's first quarter net profit plunging 14% due to lower oil prices is not surprising. Just as electrons jump from one orbit to another oil prices jump up and down affecting even the mightiest of oil giants.
Dividends Galore
A total $31 billion dividend to the Saudi government and shareholders? Bazinga! That's a lot of zeros. Reminds me of the time I calculated the number of atoms in the universe. Almost as impressive.
Gas Business Expansion
Expanding the gas business you say? Well that's certainly a breath of fresh air. Like discovering a new element on the periodic table Saudi Aramco is delving into new territories. Who knows maybe they'll find the element of surprise.
Focus on Downstream Operations
Growing globally integrated downstream operations now that's what I call branching out. Just like how my mind branches out into numerous areas of knowledge Saudi Aramco is diversifying its portfolio. Good for them.
Quotes from the Big Bang Theory
As Dr. Sheldon Cooper would say 'I'm not crazy; my mother had me tested.' But in the case of Saudi Aramco they seem pretty sane with their strategic moves. Here's to hoping they continue to 'live long and prosper,' financially speaking.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion while Saudi Aramco may have faced a dip in profits much like when I faced a dip in my 'Fun with Flags' viewership they are resilient. With a focus on innovation and growth they will surely 'bazinga' their way to success.
