NEW YORK Apple is the first U.S. company to boast a market value of $2 trillion, just two years after it became the first to reach $1 trillion. Apple has been at the vanguard of a group of Big Tech companies that are increasingly taking over peoples lives -- and the stock market. Just five companies -- Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Googles parent company -- account for nearly 23% of the S&P 500s entire value. Saudi Aramco reached a market value of $2 trillion shortly after becoming a public company in December 2019. The Saudi energy producers shares have fallen since amid a drop in oil prices and its market value is now about $1.82 trillion.

Profits for the first six months of the year plunged to $23.2 billion, half of last years $46.9 billion for the same time period. Despite massive efforts by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to diversify the economy, Saudi Arabia still depends heavily on oil exports to fuel government spending. Aramco was knocked out of its top spot as the worlds most valuable listed company by Apple in recent days. At its highest, Aramco traded above $10 a share in December and at it lowest slipped to $7.20 a share in March. Even before the half-year results were announced, it was clear Aramco's half-year earnings would take a hit with the company's first quarter profits down 25%.

A man walks near a compound for Saudi Aramco in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, Sunday, Nov. 3, 2019. Saudi Arabia formally started its long-anticipated initial public offering of its state-run oil giant Saudi Aramco on Sunday, which will see a sliver of the firm offered on a local stock exchange in hopes of raising billions of dollars for the kingdom. In a more than 650-page document issued late Saturday, Aramco, which is the world's most profitable company, says the offering period for investors will begin Nov. 17. The preliminary prospectus says the company plans to pay out an annual dividend of at least $75 billion starting in 2020, but questions remain over Aramco's valuation. The kingdom's plan to sell a sliver of the company is part of an ambitious economic overhaul by the government aimed at raising new streams of revenue for the oil-dependent country.

DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Aramco is trying to pull off a monster IPO that will be a major rainmaker for Wall Street.

Google Maps(CNN) - An attack in the early hours of September 14 struck at the core of Saudi Aramco, jolting a company that earns over half of Saudi Arabia's total gross domestic product every year. Saudi Arabia has seen its energy infrastructure, including pumping stations, pipelines, supertankers and oil and gas fields, continuously attacked over the past five months. None, but Saudi Aramco," he said. The United States announced Friday it would send additional troops to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in response to the attack, which the Washington has blamed on Tehran.

Coordinated strikes on key Saudi Arabian oil facilities disrupted about half of the kingdom's oil capacity, or 5% of the daily global oil supply. Yemen's Houthi rebels on Saturday took responsibility for the attacks on the Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Khurais and Abqaiq -- the world's largest oil processing facility and crude oil stabilization plant. Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said that 5.7 million barrels a day of crude oil and gas production have been affected. "The sudden change in geopolitical risk" could cause crude prices to jump between $5 and $10 a barrel, Midgley said. Two other analysts told CNN Business they believe prices could jump $15 per barrel because of the amount of Saudi oil affected by the attacks.

Google Maps(CNN) - Drone strikes on Saudi Arabian oil facilities have disrupted about half of the kingdom's oil capacity, or 5% of the daily global oil supply, people with knowledge of Saudi's oil operations told CNN Business. Yemen's Houthi rebels on Saturday took responsibility for the attacks, saying 10 drones targeted state-owned Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais, according to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah news agency. The latest OPEC figures from August 2019 put the total Saudi production at 9.8 million barrels per day.

DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia has taken an important step forward with its long delayed listing of oil giant Aramco, replacing the company's chairman with someone seen as more sympathetic to Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman's IPO ambitions. Leadership changes at Aramco were a "necessary step" towards the IPO, said Olivier Jakob, managing director at consultant Petromatrix. Bringing the deal to market is still fraught with risk, however, particularly if global oil prices remain weak, said Jakob. In the current market, it would be difficult to achieve prices of $70 to $80 a barrel, which Saudi Arabia seemed to be targeting, he added. Saudi Aramco reported last month that its profit dropped 12% in the first half of its financial year to $46.9 billion due to weaker global oil prices.

Bill Pugliano/Getty Images(CNN) - Saudi Aramco said Monday that its profit dropped 12% in the first half of its financial year to $46.9 billion due to weaker global oil prices. Apple, for comparison, generated profit of $31.5 billion in the first six months of its financial year. The Saudi company said it produced 10 million barrels of crude oil per day on average, delivering "near 100% delivery on our customers' requirements for oil and refined products." A lack of transparency over the size of the country's energy reserves had caused skepticism about the potential sale and the value of Aramco. Saudi Arabia's vast energy reserves have also been independently audited and shown to total 268.5 billion barrels.
