Moar blockquoting. That said, all you probably need to know about this is "Aramco" or even just "Saudi Arabia" if they decide to put this in the top rows.
DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi state oil giant Aramco will sell 0.5% of its shares to individual retail investors and the government will have a lockup period of a year on further share sales after the initial public offering, its prospectus said on Saturday.
...
Sources have said the company could sell 1%-2% on the Saudi stock market in what could be the world’s largest listing.
...
Aramco’s oil facilities were targeted on Sept. 14 in unprecedented attacks that temporarily shut 5.7 million barrels per day (bpd) of output - more than 5% of global oil supply.
...
Bankers have told the Saudi government that investors will likely value the company at around $1.5 trillion, below the $2 trillion valuation touted by [Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman] when he first floated the idea of an IPO nearly four years ago.
...
At the top valuation of $2 billion, Aramco could potentially raise $40 billion, topping the record-breaking $25 billion raised by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba in 2014.

EGOT winner John Legend named People's Sexiest Man Alive, taking the title from Idris Elba (...which, wait, what, People Magazine? What about co-titles?)
The backlash against the Disney remakes that has been building for the last few movies seems to have reached a peak against this one, so I predict this will not happen. I have no doubt the movie will still be a box office hit despite what the critics think, and the quality of the song is technically a separate thing from the quality of the movie, but at the least I would not consider this an inevitable victor. Time will tell!
