S-Oil: Everything is in harmony

- We forecast 3Q17 results to beat the consensus.

- The refining margin is still high although it is correcting after a sharp rally caused by Hurricane Harvey.

We expect the refining margin in Asia to remain strong as kerosene and diesel enter a high-demand season.

- We believe chemical earnings will surge as the construction of an RUC (residue upgrading complex) and ODC (olefin downstream complex) is finished in 2H18. We expect this to lead to a significant improvement in company fundamentals.

- We raise our target price to KRW165,000 and keep the company as our refining sector top pick.
