Nomura lifts Shanghai Pechem (00338) to HK$5
|
Nomura lifted its target price for Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical (SPC)(00338) to HK$5 from HK$4.9, and reiterated its "neutral" rating. After attending SPC's analyst briefing, the research house cut its 2018/19 earnings forecasts by 5%/5%, as Nomura is concerned that SPC may lose earnings growth in the next three years on stricter environmental assessment in Shanghai, and refining margin could be under pressure due to intensified competition in China. Management guided 0% growth in crude processing volume for 2018. Without significant volume growth and spread expansion, Nomura expects SPC to deliver only 1% y-y earnings growth in 2018, after 3% in 2017. |
