Yemen: 97% of Aramco's dividends do not reach the shareholders A Yemeni military source warned investors in Saudi Arabia to beware of the trap of investing in Aramco. Pointing out that Aramco is in the sights of the Yemeni army, this source emphasized in a conversation with the "Sabah" news agency that high dividends, if they cover risks or cause illusory stability in the long term, may be a trap for investors. He stated that 97% of Aramco's dividend is not real, this dividend belongs to the Saudi government and is not distributed to the shareholders.
