The Company also contributed to Covid-19 vaccination efforts during the first quarter to protect its workforce and the wider community from the risk of infection. As of April 30, more than 178,000 Aramco employees, retirees, and their dependents had received vaccinations. This includes around 85% of the Aramco workforce. These were administered either through Aramco’s vaccination program, being conducted from 14 locations across Saudi Arabia in conjunction with its medical partner Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare or through a government vaccination scheme.

Microsoft

Profits: USD 44.2 billion

Revenues: USD 41.7 billion

Microsoft's business continues to thrive thanks to its leadership in cloud computing and productivity apps. In its Q4 earnings report today, the company reported a 21 percent increase in revenues compared to last year, reaching $46.2 billion, according to Engadget. But even more impressive, its profits jumped by 47 percent to reach $16.5 billion. Microsoft's success is practically a broken record by this point - last quarter it saw a 44 percent increase in profit, and before that, it grew by 33 percent - but it's still managing to beat the expectations of Wall Street analysts.

The key to Microsoft's growth is the same as it has been for the past several years. Its Intelligent Cloud business is seemingly unstoppable, growing by 30 percent compared to last year. And it's still seeing plenty of growth with Office, Linkedin, and its other business apps, which together have increased revenues by 25 percent.
