Once crack spreads normalise, share price immediately collapse 50% within few days b’coz low outstanding shares (only 200Mil vs gloves few Bil floating shares take longer to collapse)
Few big sell orders @ syndicate run totally waterfall share price
Remember this loh.....increasing share price & potential improving of profits will sucked in many innocent & naive investors to buy into a stock with corp governance problem like hengyuan ( U all should learn the lesson from Serba mah!}
If u like the prospect of refinery & strong crack spread and good oil price buying Petron is the answer, do not touch kon stock like hengyuan loh!
The below is to help one understand, why i simply just see the difference in crack spread to derive the hedging loss between months ......................................
say in Feb 22' , the below was the pricing:
Crude: 100 $/brl Avg refined oil: 108 $/brl Crack spread: 8 $/brl (hedged, meaning they buy crude & sell prod forward - non physical)
in Mar 22' (when physical transaction take place):
They go Long on crude and Short on refined oil products such that if tail (margin shrunk) by following month they dont lose but if head (margin expanded) they will win on next hedging
Refinery is about ensuring there is profit every month. If they dont hedge - some months could be huge loss if the trend in oil price changes downwards
you thought market listen to how you want it to be mey? lmao just happens it's moving in regression then you sound like a cock claiming credit for the dawn
Just as oil producers and consumers have the ability to hedge their exposure to volatile petroleum prices, refiners have the ability to hedge their exposure as well. In fact, one could argue that refiners face an even greater need to hedge than producers and consumers as their profit margins are based on the price of not one commodity, but at least two and often several: the price of their input (crude oil) as well as their outputs (bunker fuel, heating oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, gasoil, jet fuel, etc.).
In order to mitigate their exposure to crack spread price volatility, many refiners hedge the crack spread by purchasing crude oil futures or swaps and simultaneously selling refined products futures or swaps as the results allows the refiner to lock-in or fix the refining margin.
