Attacks on Saudi Aramco could impact Riyadh's privatization on company privatization

27
The French news agency France-Presse (AFP), as well as the French newspaper La Tribune, citing it, have reported that the Saudi authorities have decided to put the stake in Saudi Aramco on public exchange sale.

Attacks on Saudi Aramco could impact Riyadh's privatization on company privatization




It is noted that the initial entry into the exchange (the so-called IPO) of the most profitable company in the world may turn out to be a record for the entire exchange history.

According to Energy Intelligence analysts, the capitalization of the national company Saudi Aramco is at least 1,7 trillion dollars.

It is noteworthy that access to the exchange (in fact, partial privatization of Saudi Aramco) for this Saudi company was planned earlier, but in the end the initiative was rejected every time. The barrier was the decision of Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, who declared "undervalued capitalization." Now, as French information sources write, "the prince" lights a green light. "

Saudi Aramco shares are expected to begin trading on the stock exchange before the end of this year. Experts are sure that the shares will diverge “like hot cakes”, as in Riyadh earlier announced dividends for investors at the level of 75 billion dollars a year. To such a tidbit, many want to add.

La Tribune quoted by Chinzia Bianco of the European Institute of International Relations:

An important function of entering the local stock market is the company's confidence in the international market. Prince Mohammed shows that he fulfills his promises and does what he should. And all this is a new step to assure international investors that the IPO will still take place.

We are talking about the Tadawul Stock Exchange in Saudi Arabia.

Against this background, experts wondered why Riyadh suddenly decided to abandon the statements regarding the "low capitalization indicators determined by international analysts." One version is that the Saudi authorities were affected by the famous attack on the Saudi Aramco refineries. The company lost billions of dollars as a result of that attack. And if not for this fact, it is unlikely that the Saudi authorities agreed with estimates of capitalization. In other words, after striking at the facilities of the national Saudi company, the country's authorities have become more accommodating.

In this case, the attack itself is beneficial to those large financial circles who have long dreamed of gaining control over part of the Saudi company. And in this regard, statements that Iran was behind the attack and that the attack was beneficial to him are extremely doubtful.

      I won’t be surprised if the states will become the main buyers of shares. Then it will be easier for them to regulate basic oil prices. In general, it’s a good business to invest an overvalued dollar in oil

        everything is much more fun there. all these leaps from the initial public offering smell very bad. too many scandals and intrigues. too different numbers and analytics. many have the feeling that this will eventually become a scam of the century) according to all forecasts, the richest families of the kingdom and not the Americans should become anchor investors. in the meantime, they want to realize only 2 percent of the shares.

          None of the videos provided show any flying drones. Also, in spite of the numerous television cameras protecting the object, the point of the explosion is not visible on any television camera - only the explosion itself is visible, but not the place of the "hit". In the videos posted by passers-by outside the territory of the facility, submachine gun and machine-gun shots are clearly audible.
          So there was no drone flying. There were landmines with a remote or timer fuse. And the saboteurs knew perfectly the security scheme

              At the expense of the United States, you can bet.
              The elite of Saudi Arabia, who have long dreamed of pulling this company apart, could also. Israel is hardly involved, too weak evidence base was against Iran. As if he put his hands on the explosion of tankers - a photo "from a satellite", as a boat is attaching a mine to the side, speaks for itself.

              what does the USA have to do with it? they sell only 2 percent on their stock exchange. It is more likely that they can confirm their 2 trillion capitalization by any means. sell at a dear among their own.

            What to do now? It remains only to convince the Houthis that they need to officially withdraw their statement that it was they who attacked the Saudi oil refinery and apologize to the American military-industrial complex for undermining the credibility of their Patriot air defense system. Meanwhile, after this attack, the Saudis and the Houthis agreed that the Saudis would not use aviation, and the Houthis would not smoke the Saudi oil industry and other infrastructure, which is still being observed.

              And if the Hussites made this statement by prior arrangement? It is very beneficial for them - someone makes an attack for them, and even a bonus with non-use of aviation. Why not?

                This mystery is covered with darkness. Everything can be. But the fact is that a Shurik70 colleague claims that there were no blows at all, in connection with which I ask what then should be done with the statement of the Hussites, who officially assumed responsibility for the strike? The word, as you know, is not a sparrow ... And so, I completely share your doubt that this is the work of the Hussites. It is possible that the contractor was different, and they took responsibility to increase their negotiating position and get an argument that they could use against the SA. hi

                  "Attack" doesn't just mean missiles or drones. It is quite possible that the Saudis, or anyone else with access, mined, and agreed with the Houthis that they take responsibility by throwing them some bonuses. At the same time, the Yemeni rebels still could not say that they just secretly infiltrated a well-guarded facility, so they had to write songs about missiles and UAVs.

        hi Mainbeam
        I agree with you, it is very similar to Leon Montashev’s many-way operation with the sale of Baku oil to Deterding during the Wrangel’s offensive in the North Caucasus in 1919

        Something like this. Not so long ago, there was a good article on this subject, where this very scenario of "privatization" was justified in view of the fact that previously announced explored oil reserves do not coincide with their real volumes by almost half, which will steadily lead to a decrease in oil production ... Considering the fact that the company's shares are at the peak of their value today, they will be thrown off by the "lucky ones", they will fill the moneybox with funds that allow, for some time, to maintain the current standard of living, and then ........ it will be later. Then the king will announce that the previously flourishing industry has fallen into decay due to the wrong actions of the new owners.

          Going for an IPO already involves an audit, including of stocks by independent companies such as Ryder Scott and DeGolyer. And the article you are referring to is the article of a person who has not even figured out the terms.

            You know Sergey, in the light of recent events, when, at the expense of reputation, the international court in The Hague accuses the innocent, when London, as a guarantor, puts its paw on Venezuelan gold, when politicized decisions are made in relation to Russia in the gas dispute regarding the payment of American tugriks in favor of Ukraine, when court there are no arguments and evidence of Russia's guilt that she was involved in the Boeing tragedy, but they stubbornly want to make her guilty, I’m not sure that independent companies are so independent and the audit will be conducted honestly. hi

      It is doubtful that after the strike, the Americans and the Saudis launched an information company accusing Iran and this worked for Western public opinion.

      Here the article was about this (terrorist attack), in the region, the content of the Saudi oil audit for 30 years is stretched at that rate of production, and they still eat the hotz, the terrorists themselves do it, to save face Iran is to blame (the enemy for the future (their oil fields of a hotz to himself), announce the sale on their terms at an expensive price, then the lack of oil and profit is already a headache for buyers but not for Saudis = profit.
