PetroChina Could Continue Positive Earnings -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-03

0240 GMT - PetroChina's outlook remains positive after delivering a promising quarter, DBS Group Research analysts write in a note. First-quarter results were slightly ahead of expectations, and the upstream business's operating profit rose despite a slight decline in realized oil prices, thanks to higher output. The Chinese oil major is "amongst [the] best proxy for oil price, which is expected to stay elevated in 2Q," they add. PetroChina remains a leader in China's energy transition, and its growing renewables portfolio will likely account for one-third of total profit by 2030, they say. Shares edge 0.1% higher to HK$7.11.
