Dubai, UAE — Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Aramco) reported a net profit of $104.7 billion for 2025, a decline from the previous year as global oil prices and market conditions weighed on earnings.
The state oil giant remains the world’s largest energy company and one of the most profitable publicly listed firms globally.
The company plans total dividend payments of about $85.4 billion for 2025, lower than payouts in the previous year but still among the largest corporate dividend distributions globally.
Aramco’s dividend policy combines a base dividend with a performance-linked component tied to financial results and cash flow.
The company continued to generate strong cash flow during 2025, supported by its large hydrocarbon production base and integrated upstream and downstream operations.
Earlier in the year, Aramco’s board declared quarterly dividends, including a base dividend of around $21.1 billion for the second quarter of 2025, alongside a smaller performance-linked payment.
Operationally, the company maintained significant production capacity and remained a major supplier of crude oil and refined products to global markets.
Saudi Arabia remains the majority shareholder in Aramco, and dividend payments from the company are a key source of government revenue.
The company announced its full-year 2025 financial results on March 10, 2026, according to investor disclosures.
