Saudi Aramco, the Saudi state-owned oil company, reported higher third-quarter profit on Tuesday. According to the company, adjusted net income rose 9% to $31.2 billion from $28.6 billion a year earlier, above analyst estimates of $30.66 billion. One report puts net profit up 34% to $36.25 billion. The company said stronger refining margins lifted its downstream business, where adjusted earnings before interest and taxes rose 234% to $10.3 billion. CEO Amin H. Nasser said geopolitical uncertainty and attacks on key energy facilities continued to amplify the global energy supply crisis.
