Saudi Aramco crushes earnings expectations with $104.7 billion full-year profit despite oil price volatility throughout 2025. The energy giant reported fourth-quarter adjusted profit of $25.1 billion, surpassing analyst consensus estimates of $24.8 billion. The company maintained its commitment to shareholders by distributing $85.5 billion total, including a base dividend increased 3.5% year-over-year. Free cash flow reached $85.4 billion as Aramco's disciplined capital allocation and low-cost operations drove performance. CEO Amin Nasser highlighted the company's reliable production amid market turbulence. With crude prices now surging near $120 per barrel due to Middle East tensions, Aramco is positioned to benefit significantly from supply concerns.
