European Energy Companies Seen Benefiting from Elevated Refining Margins

Dow Jones07-02

0904 GMT - Second-quarter results from Europe's energy companies should reflect strong refining margins, UBS analyst Joshua Stone writes. Repsol, Galp and OMV  are set to be key beneficiaries, Stone says. The bank's refining margin indicator for Europe jumped 70% on quarter to an average of $25 a barrel, he writes. Margins are likely to remain elevated over the near term given the need to repair and restart refineries in the Middle East, he adds. Additionally, wider crude spreads and continued outages in Russia support the outlook, he says. Spain's Repsol rises 1% to 22.33 euros. Portugal's Galp rises 0.2% to 18.645 euros. Austria's OMV rises 2.5% to 56.20 euros. (adam.whittaker@wsj.com)
