Saudi Aramco uses the ticker symbol 2222 on the Saudi Exchange, also known as Tadawul.
The company’s shares began trading in December 2019 after an initial public offering that raised about $25.6 billion. Saudi Aramco listed ordinary shares rather than American-style letters, reflecting the numerical ticker conventions used by the Saudi Exchange. The listing made the company one of the world’s largest publicly traded businesses by market capitalization.
Ticker symbols identify listed securities, but they do not describe a company’s market value. Saudi Aramco is formally known as Saudi Arabian Oil Company and is headquartered in Dhahran. It was created in its modern corporate form in 1988, although its history reaches back to oil exploration agreements in Saudi Arabia during the 1930s. Its business spans oil production, refining, chemicals, and energy-related activities.
