Petronas Chemicals' Earnings Unlikely to Weaken Near-term Despite Easing Prices

Dow Jones

Jun 25

0111 GMT - Petronas Chemicals' earnings outlook isn't expected to weaken immediately even as petrochemical prices normalize, says TA Securities analyst Luqman Anwar in a note. While petrochemical prices are unlikely to return to their April-May peaks, supply disruptions linked to the U.S.-Iran conflict could keep regional markets relatively tight and support product margins through 2026, he says. However, this support could fade as Middle East exports recover and capacity additions are made in China. Anwar expects petrochemical spreads and margins to weaken from 2027 onwards. TA Securities downgrades the stock's rating to sell from buy, and cuts target price to 4.32 ringgit from 6.56 ringgit. Shares are 1.7% lower at 4.03 ringgit. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
