Saudi Aramco’s stock-market ticker on the Saudi Exchange is 2222.
Saudi Aramco is formally known as the Saudi Arabian Oil Company. Its shares began trading on the Saudi Exchange, also called Tadawul, after the company’s initial public offering in December 2019. The listing made Aramco one of the world’s largest publicly traded companies by market capitalization.
The number 2222 is the company’s trading code, not its market capitalization, oil production figure, or founding year. Saudi Exchange listings commonly use numerical symbols, unlike the letter-based tickers used by many United States exchanges.
Saudi Aramco was created in its modern corporate form in 1988, when the Saudi Arabian government took full ownership of the former Arabian American Oil Company. It remains a major global producer of crude oil and natural gas, with operations spanning exploration, production, refining, chemicals, and distribution.
