Highlights

Apple Inc’s shares dropped 11% YTD amid a broad market selloff.

Aramco is expected to report its earnings later this month.

Apple has announced several new products at its annual event on Tuesday.

Oil major Saudi Aramco shares jumped more than 15% in less than three weeks as crude prices skyrocketed to over US$130 a barrel amid the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

The uptick in its share prices is proving a double delight for Aramco. It is rapidly narrowing the gap with Apple Inc. (AAPL) for the title of the world’s most valuable company.

Aramco’s shares gained 15% in less than three weeks, giving it a valuation of over US$2.3 trillion.

Apple Inc’s shares fell 11% YTD amid a broad slump, dragging down its valuation to about US$2.6 trillion.

Bloomberg reported that Aramco is still around 10% away from reclaiming the title. The continuous surge in energy prices may make it possible.

Listed on the Saudi stock exchange Tadawul, Aramco is expected to report its earnings later this month.

In September 2020, the Saudi oil giant had briefly held the most valuable title. But Apple sustained the lead since. According to Bloomberg, it is the top performer among the big tech firms this year.
