❗️Aramco profits jump 34.5% in third quarter despite facility attacks Saudi state-owned oil giant Aramco reported a 34.5 percent year-on-year increase in third-quarter net profit on Tuesday, despite attacks on its facilities. The rise was primarily driven by higher revenues and the company's withdrawal from a joint venture. The world's largest oil exporter recorded net profits of $36.25 billion for the three months ending 30 September, up from $26.9 billion during the same period last year and $32.7 billion in the second quarter. Adjusted net income reached approximately $31.2 billion, exceeding the median analyst forecast of $30.66 billion based on estimates from 12 analysts surveyed by Aramco.
