Gas price revision priced in; maintain Neutral

Cut SAFCO target price by 12% on higher long-term gas prices. Our new forecasts are based on Saudi’s new gas price of USD1.25/mmBtu in 2016, rising to USD3.0/mmBtu as of 2020 in line with Henry hub futures, versus a constant USD2.0/mmBtu assumption before. The 67% y-o-y hike in Saudi feedstock costs from USD0.75/mmBtu (in place since 1998) would raise SAFCO’s cash costs by 13%, shaving SAR145mn off 2016e earnings.
