Company Report

PetroChina: Takeaways From Reverse Roadshow

We attended PetroChina’s reverse roadshow to visit Daqing oilfield and Jilin oilfield and came back with a few takeaways. There is no change in our view, and we keep our fair value estimate at HKD 6.80 per H-share (CNY 6.20 per A-share). We think the shares are currently overvalued. We see the recent OPEC+ production cut extensions as a sign of weakness, not strength. Hence, we believe the West Texas Intermediate oil price could ease to USD 65-USD 70 a barrel in 2024 and this is negative to the revenue outlook for oil companies.

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.
