pjseow When HY dropped RM 2 at one point this morning , Petronm lost only 20s . I just wrote yesterday and a few days ago , I sold HY at RM 17.00 and switched to Petronm because Petronm has the retailed businees like PEtDag which has much more stable earnings to cushion the more volatile refining earnings . This morning big drop of HY share price is in response to the online news in Star that the crack spread drop to US 6 . Petron earnings in Q4 16 and Q1 17 were more than 40 sen despite the fact that the crack spreads were only 5 to 6 dollars during that time . HY is not for the faint hearted whereas Petron earnings are more consistent. You can sleep better if you invest in PEtron compared with HY . OF course , if HY share price shot up suddenly due to a big spike in crack spread to more than 10 dollar , dont feel jealous . Just Be contented with a more slow and steady rise while you enjoy your good night sleep every night . 15/01/2018 13:59
12 January 2018 Energy & Petrochemicals | Energy Petron Malaysia Buy (Maintained) Target Price: MYR16.20 Price: MYR13.30 Pumping More To Fuel Growth Market Cap: MYR3,596m Bloomberg Ticker: PETRONM MK We spoke to management recently and came away still feeling positive on Petron Malaysia. EBITDA is expected to average at MYR100-200m – bringing its net cash balance to >MYR500m in FY18. The group has turned into a net cash company since 2Q17, and its net cash balance ballooned to MYR113m in 3Q17. Petron Malaysia’s refining spreads are expected to remain high due to strong demand for gasoline products, while capacity addition in the region remains subdued in 2018. Maintain BUY and MYR16.20 TP (22% upside). Avg Daily Turnover (MYR/USD) 6.00m/1.47m 52-wk Price low/high (MYR) 4.11 - 14.6 Free Float (%) 21 Shares outstanding (m) @MYR1 par 270 Expected Share Price Return 22% Expected Dividend Return Expected Total Return Shareholders (%) Petron 73.4 Tan Hock Cheng 1.0 Johan Enterprise 0.6 Share Performance (%) YTD 1m 3m 6m 12m Absolute (1.6) 4.2 16.6 72.5 225.7 Relative (3.1) (1.8) 12.9 68.6 216.9 Source: Bloomberg Source: Bloomberg Additional Data Bursa Code Listing Market Beta 3-Month Average Volume (‘000) ROA (%) Cash coffer to strengthen further. Petron Malaysia’s EBITDA is expected to average MYR100-200m in the current market environment, and the group’s cash balance could surpass the MYR500m level by end-FY18. This is if margins are sustained. We note that Petron Malaysia’s balance sheet turned into net cash in 2Q17, and its net cash balance ballooned to MYR113m (42 sen/share) in 3Q17 with zero debt. This, however, would not translate into higher dividends, as the extra cash is most likely to be reserved for future expansion in refining capacity and petrol station refurbishments. This is because there is still room for growth for the group in the domestic market. Gross margins to sustain. We believe GPM can be sustained at c.MYR23.00/bbl for 2018, as demand for gasoline products remains strong. In 9M17, Petron Malaysia’s GP/bbl (the gauge for its refining margins) was strong at MYR22.80/bbl (9M16: MYR17.00/bbl). Capacity addition pressure is likely to be subdued in the year, as no major new refineries in Malaysia are coming online. In Indonesia, the 100,000bpd capacity addition by Pertamina is also being delayed to either 2019 or 2020 due to financing issues. USD3.5bn allocated for expansion in refining capacity. Petron Corp, Petron Malaysia’s Philippines-based parent company, is investing c.MYR3.5bn on another refining facility on top of its current Port Dickson facility. This would more than double its capacity to 178,000bpd (an additional 90,000bpd). The indicated timeline for the completion of the new facility is in 2020. It is too early to indicate to accurate earnings potential for the group, but the facility could potentially bring in more diverse products into Petron Malaysia’s portfolio, ie aromatics and other petrochemicals. This is in addition to its existing products, namely gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. Maintain BUY and MYR16.20 TP (22% upside). We are maintaining our forecasts. Our TP is kept also at MYR16.20, which is pegged to 12.5x FY18F P/E. This is still at a steep discount when compared to Petronas Dagangan’s 25x FY18F P/E. We continue to like Petron Malaysia due to its above market growth in sales volume, as well as expectations of strong refining margins. Risks to call include a reversal in such margins and an unplanned shutdown at its refinery.
If we could think logically which we always dont.......why must petronm fall so much together with HY since HY is under much stronger selling pressure than Petronm.
So, it shouldnt drop that far eventhough it is closely correlated to HY.
Volume is very thinly traded, less than 1 mil shares exchanged hands these few days. Punters are in other stocks, and not Petron. With Brent crude trading at $68 - 70, retail sales is very encouraging. No reason to be panic.
but if your inventory already locked at a contractual fixed price so the issue is with ur raw material price. no point talking about inventory or what. .
Petronm Parent Company in Philippines already started producing Euro4 gasoline in 2016. Petronm is the first to sell Euro4 standard gasoline in 2016 . Petronm retailing made more than half of the total profits . In Q2 2017 , when there was inventory loss plus low crack spread , Petronm can still deliver 33 sen eps . With better crack spread in Q3 plus some inventory gain , it delivered 39 sen eps . We expect Petronm to deliver record profit in Q4 of more than 40s eps due to higher crack spread . This will make Petronm 2017 total eps at 160 sen . This profit is even higher than PEtDag.
With the estimated Petronm eps of 160s for 2017 , the PE is less than 8 with the current price of RM 12.48 . This PE is half of PetDag which is 100 % from retailing . Petronm 580 petrol stations plus other retailing businesses are similar to PetDag . I bought Petronm shares yesterday at 12.16 . Will buy more if it drops further . Buy at weakness .

Warren Buffet 's contrarian thinking in stock investment . When everyone is greedy, you must be fearful . When everyone is fearful , you must be greedy. In early August last year , Petronm price is slightly above HengYuan by about one ringgit . When Q2 result was announced when HY delivered only 28s versus Petronm 33 sen, Petronm's lead HY by as much as RM 3.50 . It was when Q3 result was annouced with HY making record EPS of 120 sen vs PEtron 's 39 sen that make HY share prices skyrocked from RM 10 to RM 19 overtaking Petronm by more than RM 4 . When HY's price collapsed on 29th Dec and stabilise at about 17 with such correction , I sold my HY shares and switch to the cheaper Petronm at about RM 13 . Sell high and buy low is my strategy . At the moment , many are fearful .
