Aramco Analysts' $1.4 Trillion Spread Risks Pleasing Nobody - Bloomberg:
Caught between a client seeking a $2 trillion valuation and skeptical foreign investors reluctant to pay anywhere near that amount, the banks working on Saudi Aramco’s initial public offering went for compromise: tell both sides they’re right.
The result risks pleasing nobody, however.
Aramco appointed more than 20 banks to advise on what could be world’s largest share sale, and their analysts -- who are supposed to work independently of the investment bankers advising Aramco -- put together reports on the company’s financial performance and outlook before the share sale kicked off. Consensus is in short supply.
