Despite briefly hitting a market cap of USD 2.4 tn during the oil price spike of 2022, Aramco\u2019s valuation has now slipped to around USD 1.5 tn, compared to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman\u2019s USD 2 tn target. Over five and a half years, the oil giant has delivered a total return of 16% \u2014 the lowest among its peers \u2014 while Exxon, Chevron, and Shell delivered gains exceeding 50%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Bonds over equity?<\/strong> The company has recently been taking on more debt to maintain <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/ksa\/en\/news\/story\/445ffc3a-88f9-4db6-92ff-b16924533e2b\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">payments of its dividends<\/a>, which amounted to USD 42.7 bn in 1H 2025, compared to USD 34.4 bn of freecash flow generated over the same period. Even with Brent crude averaging over USD 70 \/ bbl from January to June, the oil giant struggles to fully cover its payout \u2014 a troubling sign if prices further weaken. Bloomberg suggests that investors increasingly see Aramco bonds, not shares, as the safer option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">(<strong>** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But Aramco is taking a different approach to its peers<\/strong>, Bloomberg noted. While other oil giants have been cutting spending, the company has been investing heavily in new projects. Without higher oil prices, higher output, or significant cost reductions, Aramco will struggle to address its lagging equity performance, but the company remains confident in its \u201cvery attractive investment proposition, Executive Vice President and CFO Ziad Al Murshed told investments earlier this month. <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n

High-yield EM spreads have also compressed, signaling continued appetite for riskier debt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Despite the issuance surge, net new EM corporate debt including China is actually <\/strong><strong>negative YTD<\/strong>, as repayments are outpacing new supply by USD 8 bn. Companies are still refinancing cautiously after years of high interest rates and many pandemic-era bonds now maturing. \u201cWhat is beneath the surface here is that, year to date, the net supply is negative,\u201d Siow said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Sovereign issuers have sold more than USD 160 bn of international debt YTD<\/strong> \u2014 outpacing the same period in 2020, which ended up being a record year. Saudi Arabia has led the charge with a flurry of sovereign and bank bond sales to finance megaprojects and offset soft oil revenues. Mexico also steered a USD 12 bn issuance to partially bail out state oil giant Pemex.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mixed in early trading this morning<\/strong>, as traders sit tight in anticipation of the annual Jackson Hole Symposium.
