Petronas Chemicals Group No Longer a Defensive Chemical-Sector Pick for Citi -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2023-02-10

0752 GMT - Petronas Chemicals Group is no longer a defensive chemical-sector pick for Citi, as the U.S. Bank cut its 2023 to 2025 urea price estimates by 25%-31%, due to declining gas prices and ample supply, analysts Oscar Yee and Desmond Law say in a note. Urea is manufactured synthetically by reacting natural gas. They also expect profit at its olefins and derivatives division to decline on year in 2023, on lower crude prices and limited price increases. Analysts cut Petronas Chemicals' 2023 and 2024 EPS by 40% and 31%, respectively, due to lower selling prices. Citi downgrades Petronas Chemicals' rating to sell from buy and trims the target price to MYR7.00 from MYR11.00. Shares are 0.1% higher at MYR8.25. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
