DIFFERENCE between PETRONM and HENGYUAN
FutureEyes
Publish date: Thu, 22 Feb 2018, 07:20 PM
I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THIS ARTICLE AGAIN IN i3 to ensure investors understand the difference between PetronM and Hengyuan (apologies for reposting and taking space of i3 blogs again).
By now, many of i3 members are probably aware that Petron Malaysia is a Simple Refinery unlike Hengyuan a Complex refinery equipped with a Catalytic Cracker to convert Fuel Oil to a much more valuable product Diesel.
Their typical product yield are as presented on below table where Simple Refiners produce approximately 30% Fuel Oil and almost all of them are converted to Diesel by Hengyuan.
The Table summarizes the implication of Fuel Oil Crack spread at negative 4USD/brl, i.e selling below Crude Oil price for both Complex refinery like Hengyuan and Simple Refinery like PetronM as recently reported.
In Q4 2017, Fuel Oil margins became low (-4 USD/brl) from a positive value of 2 USD/brl and Diesel Margins were much better in Q4 2017 than Q3 2017 at above 12 USD/brl.
Refer the recent news on Fuel Oil crack spread implications mainly in Europe who still use Simple Refining technology:
We can easily see the Gross Margin of PetronM drops significantly versus Hengyuan which had barely changed.
PetronM is a Simple Refiner and Hengyuan a Deep Converter.
PetronM does not have the ability to convert Fuel Oil extracted from the Crude Oil to Diesel unlike what Complex Refinery does with a Catalytic Cracker - refer their plant specifications below:
http://abarrelfull.wikidot.com/esso-port-dickson-refinery
http://abarrelfull.wikidot.com/shell-port-dickson-refinery
Catalytic Crackers are absolutely necessary to convert Fuel Oil to Diesel. Refer typical yields of Simple Refiner and Complex refiner via charts below – Page 6
https://www.energyinst.org/_uploads/documents/session-4-refining-notes-2012.pdf
From Page 6 of the article and knowing Hengyuan only produces 2% Fuel, Hengyuan refinery falls under Deep Conversion and since PetronM does not even have a Catalytic Cracker it falls under Hydroskimmer category.
Since recent dip in crack spread has more to do with Fuel Oil affecting Simple Refiners, it is precisely the reason for PetronM gross margin reduction.
Refer the recent news on Fuel Oil crack spread implications mainly in Europe who still use Simple Refining technology:
Thus, the volatilty in Earnings is in fact higher in PetronM as it is the Fuel Oil Margins which is highly vulnerable now, not the Diesel which in fact stands to benefit from Q4 2017 Diesel Crack Spread observation and the IMO 2020 implementation in future.
Further to that, please note that WTI crude was significantly cheaper than Brent in Q4 2017 (averaging 6USD/brl) and that it can be effectively utilized by Complex refinery like Hengyuan. Many Chinese refineries including Malaysian had started sourcing this Crude Oil from U.S in replace of Brent due to the following reasons:
COLUMN-U.S. crude oil exports to Asia soar, complicating OPEC's efforts: Russell
https://www.reuters.com/article/column-russell-crude-asia-idAFL3N1NJ17M
"Imports from Malaysia are up 500 percent, those from Britain by 95 percent and from the Republic of Congo by 459 percent."
COLUMN-Forties pipeline outage is a gift to U.S. oil exporters, others: Russell
https://www.reuters.com/article/column-russell-crude-asia/column-forties-pipeline-outage-is-a-gift-to-u-s-oil-exporters-others-russell-idUSL3N1OC1YP
This widened the premium of front-month Brent over WTI CL-LCO1=R to $6.74 a barrel, up from $4.76 as recently as Nov. 24. The spread is closing in on the $7.07 touched in September when Hurricane Harvey knocked out U.S. Gulf Coast refineries, temporarily cutting crude demand.
The blowout of the Brent-WTI spread in September saw a flood of U.S. crude head toward Asia, with vessel-tracking data showing that top global crude buyer China imported a record 293,000 bpd in November.
Please refer the price difference between Brent and WTI for Q4 2017 as per below:
https://ycharts.com/indicators/brent_wti_spread
If Hengyuan's smart management did capture this precious opportunity in Q4 2017, the overall gross refining margin would easily increase by 40% compared to Q3 2017!!
That would have mind boggling implication on its Q4 2017 EPS of HENGYUAN.
Way above any analysts would be able to predict! Refer below article:
Thai energy giant PTT FY profit up 43 percent at $4.3 bln, beats analyst estimates:
https://af.reuters.com/article/africaTech/idAFL4N1Q61BP
With the above, i am extremely optimistic on Hengyuan future of refining. It will definitely continue to deliver performance above current expectation at current price level.

but
how about other things that will help you to arrive at a right decision of which transportation to use?
why motorcycle is better than bicycle ?
why bicycle with the combination of other alternatives can be better than motorcycle ?

In Malaysia , the 3 largest petrol retailing business are Shell Petrol Retailing , Petronas Dagangan and Petron . Why compare Petron with Hengyuan instead of Petron with PetDag ? Petron 's 3 year eps from 2015 to 2017 were 82 sen, 90sen and 150 sen which are superbed . Petronas Dagangan eps for 2015 was 79.5 sen , 95 sen and 127 sen ( 3 qtrs ) .
Petronm share price is half of Petronas Dagangan although the eps were quite close .

Petronm is still undervalued, there is still a growth in 2017.
I agreed Hengyuan is better than Petronm based on facts and figures especially EPS and PER.
How many stock in KLSE has a PER < 5, net profit > 1 billion RM and EPS > 3.50.
Please quote one and compare.

very misleading article
why ?
1. the is a comparison of a complex refinery and a simple refinery, not Petronm and Hengyuan
2. you should compare hengyuan with another company which business model is the same, that is refinery alone
3. Hengyuan is doing refinery alone , nothing else. but petronm has refinery , petrol stations, petrochemical and land asset
4. only emphasize on the efficiency of complex refinery over the simple refinery ,how about volatility of crude oil and other risks factors that affect the profit margin are not touched at all. so it is very unfair and biased.
conclusion:
very irresponsible and misleading article

Which company in bursa can pay you 25 cents dividend at the selling price of RM12, consistently better and better every year
If this can't make the FM slivating, then what else can be more appealing to them.
Do not miss the most important point, shares trading is a supply demand game. You and me can't move the market. EPS also can't move the market. But the big fund can. I believe the 25 cents dividend declared by petronm will make many big funds slivating.

PRICE action on opening bell after QR holds the trump card.
Very few money manager knows how to read QR accurately, only the hot foreign funds do.
WHY? Because they have the capacity to read the future into the next 1 to 2 QR down the road for the BIZ.
Many at times, the good CFO could be well advised to hide some profits for next QR, if they have plan for the growth stock to continue flying up n up. This is usually done after looking into the bearing pts of its financial mountain i.e. stock chart. It's silly to waste the financial nuclear bomb for nothing in return!
Tomorrow at OPEN we shall all know:
GAP UP n stays, it must
GAP down, chia.lat

DIFFERENCE is:

Dear kennyyap1962,
U asked the toughest Q.
Allow me to attempt to provide a good A.
PE Ratio for PLC is pretty similar to a good biz with products n services that have PRICING POWER. I hope U can follow me at that pic.
i. Good cos with products n services in high demand can raise prices n yet consumers continue to buy n support them yr after yr. That's Pricing Power.
ii. In the case of PLC, great FA growth stocks with high PE r in reality, having a magical Pricing Power that is even greater than in product pricing.
Bnl, CFO or CEO who came from top Ivy League Biz Schools must be super expert in this wonderful n most simple topic to the fastest way of wealth creation.
Ex. That simply explained why AMZN can command a PER of 324X today n still counting, making the owner the fastest richest man on earth.
https://finance.google.com/finance?q=amzn&ei=SL2PWommKpGaeraZoaAH
All growth stocks r cyclical. To win BIG, we want to position ourselves financially at the right time in its growing yr/s.
A good ex is how TOPGLOV is capable of raising PE 15 to now > 35 over the yrs.
The owner was my close neighbour at TGCR.
This Tan Sri is nice n easy to deal with n yet extremely humble n very very sharp n a super smart man.
He is expert in IR i.e. small money must go out then billions will come in n stay.
1st thing 1st is abt how to charm the investing community to always BUY the stock.
This Tan Sri n wife will be at the entrance welcoming all fund managers, analysts n some high-networth individuals to his Fund Manager n Analysts Conference. He did it so well in classy Hilton Hotel KL like he's getting married at least 4 times a yr every yr.
He will provide earnings guidance with transparency n visibility.
Most importantly, while all r enjoying the food, he's seen gg tables to tables talking to all till the very end.
HENGYUAN has lots of BIG potential n I sincerely hope the mgmt team is proactive to embark on this journey, 1 step at a time!
Then only we can talk abt high PE starting from 10, ok.
GOOD LUCK to all HENGYUAN stock holders..
2018-02-23 16:03
hahaha, 1 thing is same between hengyuan and petronm, if hengyuan cant exceed eps 120 this coming quarter, prepare for another deep dive like petronm
2018-02-23 16:50
What's mind blogging is despite the known fact that no one can consistently predict quarterly EPS, this doesn't prevent investors from continuing to predict them. Overconfidence in the domain of investing is hard to get rid of.
