I actually scare when future eye is not a naysayer anymore.... Can ur valuation be more conservative? Say 13 sen only will help a lot to balance a bit. I dun want so fast stage 4.
Also, u discounted possible shutdowns, unplanned inefficiencies, awesome hrc forex skill (see q²).
si stockraider i respect you but you too emotion in hrc. you should disconnect from hrc for like 2 days. that should be ok for your wealth and wellbeing. let me correct myself regarding author article view. I admire author thought thoroughness in covering all aspect of refinery's parameters just as per q2 estimation. i keep asking hedging previously. this author also provided. u disconnect pls. two days will do.
Just a thought experiment. Not saying your assumptions are wrong but an experiment. The assumption of 130 cents EPS rest on 10 variables, which 7 out of 10 are macro factors. To build in the uncertainty of reality, assume all variables are off by 5%. So what is suppose to 'benefit' will adjust downward by 5% and likewise revise upward 5% for any cost.
So:
A) 106k bpd x 85 days x 9.5 USD/brl x 4 RM/USD = 342 mil
B) 47.6% hedging x 4700K = 2237k x USD 49/brl = 109 mil (Starting) 2237k barrels x USD 53/brl = 119 mil (Ending) Gain = 10 mil x 4 RM/USD = 40 mil
342 mil + 40 mil = 382 mil - 126 mil (SGA) = 256 mil or 0.85 cents
So a mere 5% swing on all the variables is enough to swing EPS by 35%
Given the unpredictable nature of macro factors, you want to be roughly right not precisely wrong. And it is common even for analyst to miss actual EPS by 10-30% +/-
Again this underlie a huge misassumption. EPS of a quarter has little to do with value, hence it rarely changes the fundamental valuation of a company. If share price does change, it has more has to do with market sentiment that true fundamental, disagree as you like. It is not that hard to test this hypothesis. That is why I can never fathom why someone would enjoy estimating EPS, throw in a multiple, 10x just to make it convenient, and assume the market will agree with him. And worse, when the actual EPS came out and confirmed his prediction and the share price followed, he started to think he is skilful. I think this misconception of fundamental is worse than the estimation of EPS, which itself is a futile exercise to begin with.
If i were to follow Graham's advice, he said not to emphasize so much for the future, but to buy for what it is today. His thesis is that the future is uncertain and earning forecast is often a miss. HRC provides attractive price entry (if you want Graham's 22.5 law), with improving fundamental like crude oil price and favorable crack spread, and guaranteed sales, and sustainability post euro4m.
NOT TRUE LOH...SHARE PRICE IS DRIVEN BY BOTH SENTIMENT AND FUNDAMENTAL LOH....IF BOTH TANGO...IN WHICH HENGYUAN WILL...CAN BE VERY VERY POWERFUL LOH...!!

I thought warren buffet advice to be roughly right & no need precise loh....!!
Question pose if 3iii has been proven so wrong many time...do u think his comment got credibility;

Just be wary of dishonest 3iii loh...!! He has cheated simplesoul monies loh...!! He call people to sell hengyuan when Rm 3.60...now Rm 10.60 a staggering losses loh...!!
Nobody care about CIT.....so much fun enjoying the rally. It seems that grace period has been ended and going to reflect in this QR announcement. HY was probably enjoying balance of unabsorbed tax losses RM 1.1 billion in year 2014. Anyway, PER is not that high after taken into account CIT. lol

Dont forget last round. Everyone predict heavenly result, show red.
This time, probability for good result is higher. Later, higher maintenance cost, give you see red. All die again.
Oil refineries produce value-added petroleum products from crude oil. Profitability is thus determined by several different variables:
- Feedstock costs (primarily crude oil) - Fuel costs and other operational costs for the refinery itself - Costs of complying with emissions regulations (particularly NOx) - Market prices for the products produced.
A useful but simplified measure of refinery profitability is the “crack spread.” The crack spread is the difference in the sales price of the refined product (gasoline and fuel oil distillates) and the price of crude oil.
The crack spread is the easiest measure people have to measure future profit. But it is the least precise.
Before someone say you only need to be roughly right and not precisely wrong.
Remember this, you have no out. The only way hengyuan will go up, if it beats last quarter and last year by a fantastic amount. If it show even flat earning. Sure drop.
Business wise, hengyuan i still ok, but not that cheap anymore.
The crack spread tends to be sensitive to the slate of products produced from the refinery. Gasoline and distillate fuel oil (heating oil) are two typically high-valued products, and refineries are generally engineered to maximize production of gasoline and fuel oil.
The crack spread is also sensitive to the selection of the oil price used. There are systematic differences in the prices of heavy crude oils versus fairly light crude oil. Due to these differences, the crack spread calculation (while illustrative) may not be sensible for a particular refinery.

Study the data presented here carefully, you will never find a generous man sharing & spoon feeding such information in i3.
You will notice that Q3 average Gross refining margin 30 to 40% higher than Q1 (for Brent (Cracking) and Dubai (Cracking) - which is of slightly higher complexity than Simple refiners like Petron who does Hydroskimming).
This will result with Net refining Margin exploding by more than 50% relative to Q1 (minimum)!
