World has its first $2 trillion company

December 13, 2019 by Don Saint 0 Comments

Saudi Aramco shares zoomed higher on Thursday, turning the massive state oil producer into the world’s first $2 trillion company and achieving the valuation long sought by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The stock gained 10% for a second consecutive day, reaching 38.70 riyals ($10.32) per share before giving up some of its gains.

Saudi Aramco has gained roughly $300 billion in value since its shares debuted on the Riyadh stock exchange on Monday in the biggest initial public offering on record. It’s by far the most valuable company in the world, dwarfing runner up Apple, which is worth around $1.2 trillion.

The vast majority of buyers for the stock are in Saudi Arabia. Samba Capital, which managed the IPO, said Tuesday that 97% of retail investors who received shares were from the country. And more than 75% of shares sold to institutional investors went to Saudi companies, funds and government institutions.
