CLSA: PETROCHINA (00857) Posts Steady Q1 Results, Anticipates Stronger Q2 Growth; HK$12 Target Price

Stock News17:07

PETROCHINA (00857) reported solid first-quarter results, according to a research report from CLSA. However, the positive impact of rising oil prices since March was not fully reflected due to a one-month lag in the realization of exploration and production earnings. Stronger quarter-on-quarter growth is anticipated in the second-quarter results, expected to be announced in August. The firm believes that, amid current geopolitical tensions, PETROCHINA is best positioned to capture the upside in profitability from increasing oil prices. CLSA reaffirmed its "Outperform" rating on both PETROCHINA's H-shares and its A-shares (601857.SH), maintaining a target price of HK$12 for the H-shares and RMB 15.9 for the A-shares.
