Which company is identified by stock ticker 2222 on the Saudi Exchange?

Saudi Aramco is identified by stock ticker 2222 on the Saudi Exchange.

Saudi Aramco’s ordinary shares trade on Tadawul, Saudi Arabia’s stock exchange, under the symbol 2222. The company listed a portion of its shares in Riyadh in 2019, creating one of the world’s largest initial public offerings. Because the state retained most of the company, the listed shares represent only part of Saudi Aramco’s total ownership.

Saudi Aramco is formally known as Saudi Arabian Oil Company. It is one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies and controls major upstream production, refining, chemicals, and energy businesses. Its enormous earnings and state ownership have made it a frequent subject of global market-cap comparisons.

The number 2222 is a trading symbol, not a valuation, production figure, or founding year. It is also distinct from the company’s international bond identifiers and from ticker symbols used by energy companies listed in other countries.
