Dow Jones04-13 14:43

0643 GMT - PetroChina's earnings and cash flow are likely to remain elevated, says DBS Group Research's Pei Hwa Ho in a note. This is likely to be supported by higher oil prices averaging around $75 a barrel this year and $65 a barrel next year, she says. The Chinese oil major's dividend yield is likely to be around 5%, the analyst adds, based on a payout ratio of around 50%-55%. PetroChina's shares are highly correlated to oil-price movements, given that a bulk of its operating profit stem from its exploration and production segment, she adds. DBS lifts its 2026-2027 earnings forecasts by 1%-9%. DBS raises its stock target price to HK$12.20 from HK$10.00 and retains its buy rating. Shares rise 1.7% to HK$10.98. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
