Company Report

PetroChina Earnings: Robust Results Within Expectations; Attractive Dividend Payout

PetroChina’s 2023 net profit of CNY 161.1 billion, up 8% year on year, is within with our expectation. We keep our fair value estimate at HKD 6.50 per H-share (CNY 6.10 per A-share) after incorporating our latest energy price and foreign exchange assumptions. We think PetroChina’s H-shares are fairly valued, although the estimated 2024 dividend yield of more than 7% should support its share price.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Continuous improvement in China’s gas pricing reform could help to reduce PetroChina’s losses from imported gas.

Bears

As a monopoly and a state-owned company, PetroChina could place national interests such as maintaining full employment above investors' interests.
