據普氏能源資訊2019年7月28日迪拜報道，將被沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司(沙特阿美/Saudi Aramco)收購的沙特石油化工生產巨頭沙特阿基礎工業公司(薩比克/SABIC)公布的統計數據顯示，由于石油化工產品價格下跌以及新的供應能力增加，薩比克第二季度凈利潤同比暴跌了68.4%，至21.2億里亞爾(5.65億美元)。

,薩比克副董事長兼首席執行官優素福·奔炎周日在一份提交給公司股票上市的沙特證券交易所的聲明中表示：“全球GDP增長放緩加上石化產品價格由于新的供應能力顯著增加下降導致主要產品線產品價格和利潤率下跌。”

奔炎說：“今年上半年給薩比克的產品價格和利潤率帶來壓力的關鍵產品線的新產能預計將繼續影響薩比克今年下半年的盈利。”

統計數據顯示，薩比克第二季度收入同比下降了17%，至358.7億里亞爾。薩比克稱，受價格疲弱影響的部分產品——包括單乙基乙二醇——第二季價格為2009年以來的最低水平。

SABIC Q2 net profit plunges 68% on lower petrochemical prices

SABIC, the petrochemical producer that is being acquired by Saudi Aramco, posted a 68.4% year-on-year plunge in second quarter net profit to Riyals 2.12 billion ($565 million) as petrochemical prices fell and new supply was added.

"The slowdown in global GDP growth coincides with a decline in petrochemical prices due to a significant increase in new supply capacity resulting in lower product prices and margins in key product lines," Yousef al-Benyan, vice chairman and CEO of SABIC, said Sunday in a statement to the Saudi stock exchange where its shares are traded.

"The new capacities in key products lines that pressured SABIC's product prices and margins in the first half of 2019 are expected to continue to impact the company's earnings in the second half of 2019."

Second quarter revenue fell 17% year-on-year to Riyal 35.87 billion. Some of the products that suffered from weak prices include mono ethyl glycol, whose prices in the second quarter were the lowest since 2009, SABIC said.
