據油價網3月31日消息稱，在去年席卷歐洲并蔓延到全球的能源危機中，私營大宗商品巨頭維多公司在2022年獲得了近150億美元的利潤。

這是彭博社的哈維爾·布拉斯今天在推特上引用的匿名知情人士的話。《金融時報》早些時候也報道了同樣的數字，也引用了熟悉該公司財務業績匿名消息人士的話。

英國《金融時報》的報道指出，2022年的盈利數字相當于維多此前6年的年收益總和。彭博社的布拉斯指出，2022年的盈利數據是維多此前記錄的2021年的三倍。

維多的表現也比其商品交易同行好得多，盡管他們2022年的業績也創下歷史新高。該公司將強勁表現歸因于電力市場、發電業務、煉油和液化天然氣交易價格飆升。

維多本月早些時候表示，其2022年的營業額比去年翻了一番，達到5050億美元。

Energy Trader Vitol More Than Tripled Its Profits In 2022

Privately held commodity major Vitol has raked in close to $15 billion in profits for 2022 amid the energy crisis that struck Europe and spread around the globe last year.

This is what Bloomberg’s Javier Blas tweeted today, quoting unnamed people in the know. The Financial Times had reported the same figure earlier, also citing unnamed sources familiar with the company’s financial performance.

The FT report noted that the 2022 profit figure was equal to Vitol’s combined annual earnings for the previous six years. Bloomberg’s Blas noted the 2022 earnings figure was three times higher than Vitol’s previous record, booked for 2021.

Vitol also did a lot better than its commodity trading peers, even though their 2022 results were also at record highs. The company attributed the strong performance to soaring prices in electricity markets, its power generation business, oil refining, and LNG trading.

Vitol said earlier this month that its turnover for 2022 had doubled from the previous year to reach $505 billion.
