Movement Alert|CNOOC Falls 3.05% in Regular Trading, Institutions Warn H1 Earnings May Miss Market Expectations

Market Focus08-05 11:08

On August 5, CNOOC fell 3.05% in regular trading, trading at HK$22.86/share, with turnover of HK$1.386 billion.

On the news front, Macquarie issued a research report warning that CNOOC's first-half earnings may fall below market expectations, primarily due to a widening discount between its realized crude oil price and Brent futures, as well as potential impairment charges. The bank estimates CNOOC's Q2 realized oil price at US$94.7 per barrel, representing a US$9.6 discount to Brent futures, significantly wider than the US$5.5 discount in Q1. The expanded gap is mainly attributed to weak Chinese demand and an unusually large spot-futures price spread.

With the company's next earnings report scheduled for August 27, the approaching results window has amplified market concerns over profit expectations, likely continuing to weigh on the stock price in the near term.
