Saudi Arabia is planning to list more shares in Aramco and is targeting a stake sale of as much as $50 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the oil giant’s strategy.

The state-owned company has held talks with outside advisers about selling more shares on the Riyadh stock exchange as well as a secondary listing, possibly in London, Singapore or other exchanges, the report said, adding that it was still in the planning stage.
