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:
Check the Q1 2017 Mogas crack spread, and reported Diesel Margin from any reference in the world wide web.....
Also check the Q1 2017 price changes on Crude Oil (Brent) during this period..its nothing!
Compare the above two information with "what you think they are" based on your own judgement and data you can find for Q4 2017.
I can tell you the margins are at least 35% higher for Petrol and Diesel is at least 40% higher and Inventory gains is 100% higher compared to Q1 2017.
Just try mucking up the Gross Profit of Q1 2017 by 35% assuming the same 35% on inventory gain. This would give a gross profit of 395M x 1.35 = 533M PBT = 413M PAT (assuming 25%) = 309M (EPS exceeds RM 1.00)
There is absolutely no reason for its gross margin to be any lower than that!
Unlike of course PetronM which had phenomenal Fuel Oil crack spread during the early 2017!
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.
siradrian :Luckily i3 still got analysts like you. Otherwise the average Joe won't know where the ship is heading.
this is just a cut and paste of information about a complex refinery and simple refinery as a comparison , nothing is mentioned about the risk that affect the profit . what have you learnt? complex refinery is more efficient than a simple one . my son 15 still in the secondary school also know that
who doesn't know motorcycle can run faster than bicycle ? 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 ?
the main issue is sustainability of profit not EPS

Petronm result is not fantastic.. it lacks,d wow factor... so no positive surprise to chase high.. no makor sell down is consider lucky.. div anounced is,oredi discounted as previous year oso anounced dividen.. extra 3 sen dividen for a rm12 stock is not tat atractive.. unless the extra 30 or 50 sen dividen
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 .

Halite, remember many moons ago, i said u never use ur head but use only ur mouth to talk? and u always said u have to refer to ur sifu!!???? so i need to be sabar!!! and i understand y i have to saber!
let's stop sharing misleading information. I am not new to Hengyuan and Petronm when I was talking about Hengyuan and Petronm with my good friends Stockraider and Probability , many of you including future eye still no where to be found
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
