据OE网站8月5日报道，石化巨头沙特基础工业公司(SABIC)季度利润为20亿美元，并表示，在合理需求和油价上涨的支持下，预计2021年下半年将继续保持稳健的业绩。
根据Refinitiv的数据显示，全球销售额和资产价值排名第四的石油化工公司沙特基础工业公司(SABIC)第二季度盈利20亿美元(去年同期亏损5.92亿美元)，超过了6位分析师平均预测的16亿美元。
该公司首席执行官 Yousef al-Benyan在虚拟新闻发布会上表示，在油价上涨和需求健康的支持下，平均售价上涨了10%以上。我们预计2021年下半年将与上半年相似。
沙特基础工业公司第二季度的销售额从去年同期的246亿里亚尔跃升72.3%，达到424亿里亚尔。
Benyan表示，该公司由沙特石油巨头沙特阿美（Saudi Aramco）持有70%的股份，其将继续专注于沙特市场，以及美国和非洲，并在那里探索增长机会，尽管他没有透露细节。
沙特基础工业早些时候在一份交易所文件中表示，今年将是比 去年年更强劲的一年，其预计利润率将放缓但仍保持健康，因为油价和原料成本仍然高企、供应限制缓解以及新产能投产。

SABIC Profits Soar, 2H Looks 'Strong' Too
Petrochemicals giant Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) swung to a $2 billion quarterly profit and said it expects solid performance to continue in the second half of 2021, backed by healthy demand and rising oil prices.
SABIC, the world's fourth-biggest petrochemicals company by sales and asset value, swung to a second-quarter profit of $2 billion (up from a $592M loss in the same period last year) beating the average forecast of $1.6B by six analysts according to Refinitiv data.
"Average selling prices rose by more than 10% backed by oil price increases and healthier demand. We expect the second half of 2021 to be similar to the first half," CEO Yousef al-Benyan told a virtual news conference.
SABIC sales jumped 72.3% to 42.4 billion riyals in the second quarter from 24.6 billion a year earlier.
Benyan said his company, which is 70% owned by Saudi oil giant Saudi Aramco, will remain focused align="justify"> SABIC said earlier in a bourse filing that 2021 is set to be a stronger year than 2020, and it expects margins to moderate but remain healthy as oil prices and feedstock costs remain elevated, supply constraints ease and new capacity comes on line.
