The Risks of Aramco's Record-Setting IPO, Explained | WSJ 

I just imagined , you are the type of person who is right now reading the news but at the same time clipping coupons 😊 you don't miss a freebie...

@@Joker-Leto no, it's just that I really liked something that happens to be a freebie and I'm glad it is.

@@SirVib 🤣🤣😊😂 I hear ya!!

nothing is "free" in this world, you're not being sold something you're being programmed that's why it's free.

@@spfbaits intresting take, kinda agree to it. If something is free, then YOU are the product.

"may"? :)

@@TheInnerParty OK, you've made a good point. I was just trying not to be too blunt about the IPO. Thank you for your comment.

Robert Schlesinger as a Saudi citizen who did not put any money in this IPO. I can guarantee you it was for that exact reason, they only want to reap the rewards. And the people are starving here from simple rights.

@@uchclan I believe you, but how can things change when the powers that be are so entrenched?

Robert Schlesinger because evil will never triumph. The truth is already floating on shallow waters.

why would they sell such a lucrative business like that

money grab? I'd buy a million shares in Communist China, the most lucrative capitalistic dictatorship ever

ever heard of nation issued bonds, not much different except bonds are financed through debt while stocks are through equity (share ownership), but both have values that are affected by the market.

bonds are only chump change. Step 1: Nationalize your most profitable private sectors (oil/gas, real-estate, tech...) Step 2: Fill your nationalized companies board members/execs with your families and political friends. Step 3: IPO your newly nationalized companies. Step 4: Get your family and friends emigrate to America/EU with newfound wealth. Step 5: Use your new money to buy American/EU local businesses.

Taxation is what is letting you type this on the internet. The more you know.

@Sam Alghamdi Correct, thank you for the correction.

i know right insane

@@bodz9408 In 2 days aswell.

it's hardly cashing out, they're selling only %1.5 stake of the company

Do u belive what u said?)))

@@esamabuhadi6589 They the plan 49% . 1.5% only on local market because it can't stand the much of shares

@A Fridays - Well, everything they said is true if you're talking about a slight downturn in the value of oil. But a drastic shift in the energy market? Not any time soon.

Will never happen

Not this one my friend The scale of this company is beyond any imagination

As an Aramcon I can say Aramco is bigger than many think

Every piece of plastic ever or anytime u put fuel in your car or every road that is paved has 50/50 chance of being made by this company

Too much insider trading in TADAWUL....

The fact that they are trying to do an IPO smells they need money before it's goes really under. Electric Vehicles will rule.

@@DefinitelyNotBlackOpalDirect Rich people always find a way to save themselves...after the 2008 financial crisis, the people who were responsible for the crisis became filthy rich and quietly disappeared from public view after their fat payout, while the little guy struggles to recover from their losses to this day...the Saudi royal family with their trillion have the protection of some of the most powerful countries in the world like US, China...Khashoggi annoyed MBS for years, but everybody thought, "No way is Saudis ever going to try assassinate a journalist!"; you know how that ended and what price did Saudi royal family pay for it!??

@@DefinitelyNotBlackOpalDirect it's wouldn't be the first time Saudi Arabia nationalized an oil company. If the shares are listed within Saudi Arabia and the brokerage account is also within Saudi Arabia, then they do have a way of simply taking those shares.

they didn't do that because it might have not fitted their agenda against Saudi

Never trust anything you hear on the internet, and from anywhere without evidence, frankly speaking. MBS took the blame being on the head of the leadership under which a heinous crime was committed in a rogue operation. MBS is a man of honor, and people abuse power in every government around the world. Saudi is no different. To create a political tool out of a death of a person is rather insulting and offensive to family of Khashoggi, and these are the words of Khashoggi's son. This is my personal opinion, please, attack my argument, not my person. Regards.

@@abo3zzzam "Never trust anything you hear on the internet" its the UN and CIA who came to the conclusion not the internet.....and mate you cannot say MBS is a man of honor when you see what he has done to yemen...

@@AlAminOYT The CIA only gave speculations and absolutely no evidence. And wit regards to Yemen, that is the reality of war. When a rouge country like Iran supports a terrorist group, and through turmoil of the "Arab spring" ,which is Obama's legacy in the middle east btw, take Over Yemen through a deal with the Ex president and place missiles on the boarders towards Saudi, and the Iceing on the Cake, Iran announcing Yemen as the "fourth Arab capital under Iranian control" Saudi is a sovereign Kingdom and has every right and trough the security council of the U.N. to defend it's self aganist an eminent threat, posed by the Houthis which chants "DEATH TO AMERICA" and pledge aligence to Iran. Dont simplfy things, blame the houthies who Steal Saudi aid in tons and sell it in the black market.

@smokinjoe11 Sure, I agree. So? I wasn't talking about American Presidents.

@@AlAminOYT "UN and CIA who came to the conclusion" same people that said there was WMD in Iraq? yea they are good honest people... Cyber flies are so lazy

it's all part of WSJ's scheme to make the public and investors worried. They talk about the transition from oil to renewables. What transition? renewables are still a small niche and oil is also used for other important things in the economy like farming and plastic manufacture. There are risks with every company and IPO but at least Aramco is doing an IPO. Its a HUGE company and that makes it all more complicated than what they are suggesting in this video

this equation of $9 is not practical any more bcz keeping aramco profitable is not enough to fuel country economy fuelling and keeping away from budget deficit. bcz thy r use to above 130 dollars per barrel to keep doing country spending. one small drone risk to bring aramco ipo down and to do a litmus test was done purposely as a lab test and its not posisble to again hit aramco with a drone again bzc all countries are expose to same risk any one can flew a drone to any refinery?

peace Not an accurate statement regarding the 130$. The average oil price for 2019 was shy of $60, yet the country functioned well and the debt is still decreasing.

@@dubailifestyle1766 it costs Aramco 2.8 $ a barrel ... we're good

MrSabe7 there is no investment with zero risk

@@ameyas7726 agree. There are risks in investment and there are "RISK" in a dictatorship country that fund terrorist/gets targeted/at the edge of war with another country which is Iran.

Ameya S so I understand from your comment that your opinion is biased and you are taking it personally

I don't think ARAMCO has the capability of diversifying. It pretty much is a paradigm for "Dutch Disease." The next billion dollars of investment capital would almost certainly be most profitably spent on new oil drilling, not a wind farm. This will be true for decades, even under the most optimistic "green" scenario. Pretty much, if you are buying into ARAMCO, you are buying the oil business.

Boom... Right on the money. People who hand over money to tyrants shouldn't expect anything in return.

Most moronic comment.

Should one buy stocks in the most profitable company in the world thats still private!! If it were an American or European company no one would be asking this question, the Saudi monarchy run amarco to make money !

well if they would do such thing i dont think they'd still own minority shares in sabic for decades

Oh..the sour grape argument ... lovely

SJA not their investments. But my money. The shares have gone up by 15% in no time... Am expecting they will go up by 100% in next 6 months... Kudos to the ones who have invested... Saudis wouldn’t let the trust down... The ones who have invested.. are sure to be benefitted.. 😊

@krispy kreme Tell that to the ghost of the late Mohammad Reza Pahlav, aka the Shah of Iran.

krispy kreme Saudi growth is slow and painful . Too raw for most the civilized world

@@BanBiofuels The Shah was hated by his people and Europe plotted his replacement to destabilize the region.

It's here since 300 years good night

The kingdom had been stable for 85 years. Small population and a lot of money. Not to compare with iran.

But the market didn't get effect 😑

Yuck

Never think about your money with emotions . It can hurt you a lot .

No such thing as too much money, also there’s gonna be an oil glut soon so they’re trying to cash out while they can

Which is... to generate even more profit?

@@RC94332 well I am hoping to find out

Higher taxation to try and reduce the fiscal deficit.

@@ranv23011 ofc

Hahaha. Good Idea

I shorted companies that rejected me and I made over 20,000 dollars xD

Same. Also looking for a good forum/site that watches and lists future IPOs.

Jones your phone is probably charged by a coal plant

Rs123 no it’s not, and I know for sure! And I only do business with financial institutions that do not invest in dirty energy.

Do you walk or bike to work?

@@UnsaltedCashew38 or drive in your Tesla?

@@ameyas7726 Only 2.1% of vehicle sales were electric in 2018. The manufacture of an electric vehicle is not green at all. Look it up.

Excellent! Why assume the extra risk of nationalization and country specific risk when other blue chip plays are available? If you absolutely have to invest in oil, invest in fully private American or EU based organizations. Not organs of the state apparatus.

@@Misterz3r0 I completely agree and couldn't have said it better myself.

Well if we calculate 10 million barrels per day production it would take around 80 years from now to finish the 266 billion barrels that Saudi Arabia owns in reserves.. Also Saudi is discovering more oil now in the western region.. so running out of fuel is not an issue to fear for now.. Also for the person who said renewable energy would completely replace fossil fuel in 2035 I would say not at all and it would take also around 50 or 60 years to happen.. in the video it says by 2040 the use of renewable energy would only reach 15% by best estimates I assume.. Plus.. Saudi Arabia is now building with Soft Bank the largest solar farms in the world that will produce 200 giga watts by 2030 which is crazily high..

@@Mohammedannamaja world's 60% electricity is still made from fossil fuels like coal and petroleum. So I don't think demand is big issue

You better snap back to reality. Fossil energy is still the future. You have to realize that some of the "clean energy" products will still rely on the "dirty" fossil fuels. The electricity to power electric vehicles or trains will come from powerplants burning fossil fuels. The energy potential of some renewable energies like solar and wind is variable and limited. I won't bet on them. Nuclear energy is not being taken seriously due to hysteria of powerplants going bust. Hydropower is regionalized. Fossils are cheap, easily available, and serves its purpose though the environmental impacts of its use should be curtailed. We can't do without it for the foreseeable future I think.

@@a.gabbey5569 I am in reality. Some things are more important. Once the climate change begins displacing millions and people begin to understand the extreme changes ahead the speed to which we abandon it will only accelerate. The possibility of 2 billion displaced refugees. Solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen, hydro, oceanic, nuclear, and even hydrocarbons that we produce from plants we grow so they don't contribute an increase in carbon in the atmosphere. We have so many options. None will do it alone, it'll be a combination of all. It only helps that solar is already cheaper than oil. Soon more renewables will drop as investments begin paying off.

Why

Maybe thats why you don't!

@@Jes.V3 exactly

@RAHUL GANDHI Saudi Aramco is not even listing 1.5 percent % and you're saying half?

That's why you dont have billions 💁‍♂️

it is, see the demand now on the share

I don’t quite get what’s happening in the comments section of this video. Some folks are wondering why Aramco is selling a portion of its self despite sitting on a “gold mine”. And others, such as you, are implying that the company is in desperate need for cash.

Jason S yup

Anh Hoang Yeah

HackLife Dude because you can get better returns on your Saudi investment

Yeah, why support the American dream when you can support the Saudi fantasy.

MisterZ3r0 no wonder ,WSJ is biased and doesn’t give true and fair view of other companies financial statements!

You watch a lot of Mr robot

*Sherlock theme starts playing*

Link?

Ankush Suryavanshi yup

More like new breed of ripped off people.

MauriceKnows also GE was one of the top 10 profitable companies but it no longer is , doesn’t mean power is a dying industry we all use electricity but Technology companies were rising.

​@@rayanrahbini1059 GE LOL Yeah! GE's largest sector is Capital finance (33% of company as of 2019) which use to be over 40% 20 years ago, "GE financial" got slaughtered by Jack Welch leaving and by the great recession. Now GE's energy sector (25% of the company as of 2019) consist mostly of nuclear power. And after Fukushima 'A nuclear power plant made by GE' melted down in Japan, the nuclear power industry world wide has decreased substantially 'because its obviously dangerous and stupid' and with that, more of GE's capital. GE has also been selling off assets like GE-Appliances which was sold to Haier a Chinese appliance company in 2016. Can you see that GE is Dying from its inability to see the future and by mismanagement. It's not because people are not using electricity. furthermore I don't know where you're from but here in the United States electricity generation is evolving. Texas the US largest state producer of oil is developing the largest wind farms in the United States today. (Can you say R.I.P. to Oil and Coal 'LOL') As my favorite professor use to say; 'Ignorant people should stop talking and start reading!'

Sammy Sah more money for no physical product

Yup!! All the Softbank invest spree money largely came from Saudi and UAE, thats why Softbank got nothing to lose bcz it backs by oil money, They want to control the future of world startup.. They got trillion to invest

Begining of the end since data is the new oil.

I want to send Greta Thunberg to Saudi Arabia so she can say "How dare you!", and make them change their minds on big oil and profits.

seeing how much talented people work there i think its safe to say that wouldnt be too far of a possibility, however because the cost of oil is so low currently, i think its best to stay with oil

@@dom1abc1mbc thank you. I am quite sure they do have renewable dept. incl. especially solar. and others.

@@doubleuponbob3397 Lol! would be funny. Maybe Greta can attend the IPO launch on the Saudi stock exchange.
