Saudi Aramco Sees 33% Jump in Adjusted Net Income as Oil Prices Soar

Saudi Aramco's adjusted net income surged by 33% in the second quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2025, thanks to high oil prices and the company's ability to reroute most crude exports. The state-owned oil giant reported an adjusted net income of $33.385 billion for April to June, beating analyst consensus estimates of about $31 billion.

The average realized crude oil price jumped to $108.1 per barrel for the second quarter, significantly higher than the $76.9 per barrel realizations in the first quarter of this year and $66.7 a barrel for the same period in 2025.

Despite disruptions to flows in the Strait of Hormuz, Aramco was able to sustain production and exports thanks to its diverse asset base, including strategic infrastructure such as the East-West Pipeline and storage capacity. The company's ability to re-route oil exports through the Red Sea port of Yanbu helped mitigate the impact of these disruptions.

Aramco President and CEO Amin Nasser attributed the company's resilience to 'decades of long-term planning' and its strategic infrastructure, while CFO Ziad Al-Murshed noted that this flexibility allowed Aramco to advance key projects despite challenging regional conditions.
