"Leveraging these strong earnings, we continued to deliver a base dividend that is sustainable and progressive, and a performance-linked dividend that shares the upside with our shareholders." Many forecasters expected the oil company's revenue to be largely flat. Analysts at Riyadh-based brokerage firm Al Rajhi Capital wrote in a July 22 report that they "anticipate Saudi Aramco's Q2 2024 revenue to be almost flat year-on-year, owing to lower production volumes almost offset by higher Brent prices compared to Q2 2023."

The overall decline in the second quarter was led by an 8.5% drop in Saudi Arabia's oil sector, the country's General Authority for Statistics reported.
