Exclusive: Saudi Aramco valuation gap persists as IPO talks resume - sources - Reuters:

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is insisting on a $2 trillion valuation of oil firm Aramco, even though some bankers and company insiders say the kingdom should trim its target to around $1.5 trillion, industry and banking sources said.

With Aramco talking again to banks about an initial public offering (IPO), its board is meeting later this week and will probably hold a discussion about the company’s value, a source close to the company said.

Saudi Aramco declined to comment. CIC, the Saudi government media office, did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.
