1QFY18 norm-profit expected to hit new high: We forecast norm-profit will scale a new high of Bt11.9bn, up 12% q-q and 7% y-y in 1QFY18 due chiefly to wider petrochemical spreads and a high utilization rate. In this period, refinery business is likely to weaken on assumptions that market GRM will drop to US$6.4/barrel compared to US$6.8/barrel in 4QFY17 due to an upward trend in crude premium, tracking crude oil prices but it will receive a boost from higher spreads of middle distillates. Olefins business is expected to be better as HDPE price grew 13% q-q to US$1,379 as a result of China’s growing demand. The performance of aromatic business is projected to be slightly weaker although spreads of paraxylene and benzene spreads increased q-q, the business is still under pressure from a q-q decrease in by-product spreads (LPG and condensate) which may pull P2F down to US$184/ton from US$194/ton in 4QFY17. However, we estimate norm-profit will soar to Bt12.6bn, up 32% q-q but down 4% y-y if the impact of oil stock and baht value is included in our forecast. ‘BUY’ rating still intact with target price of Bt113/share: We leave our FY18 profit outlook for PTTGC unchanged at Bt43.5bn, representing an 11% increase, on expectations that (i) petrochemical spreads tend to be stronger, (ii) PTTGC will recognize a full-year contribution from the ‘asset injection’ project which is expected to generate a profit of around Bt4.9bn a year, (iii) efficiency enhancement of MAX project is expected to add a profit of around Bt3bn, and (iv) PTTGC will unlikely set aside investment impairment allowances as it recorded last year for Myriant.
