<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/saudi-arabian-oil-co" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27317:1" rel="noopener">Saudi ARAMCO (131861Z AB)</a>  on Sunday finally launched the formal process for its long-awaited initial public offering. 
Share sale will begin this month, and the stock is expected to start trading on the Tadawul on December 11. 
The "IPO of the century" , unveiled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in January 2016, has been whittled down, at least for the time being, to a domestic listing, which may see up to 3% of the company offered to the public.
The remainder of a total 5% stake-sale that MBS had originally flagged may be offered on the international markets at a later date, though there is no certainty around that.
The valuation of the company remains the subject of intense debate -- MBS would like to see a $2-trillion price tag, but analysts and investors see $1.2-1.5 trillion as more realistic. But that is not the only concern potential investors have. We look at the pros and cons of buying into the world's most profitable company.
