Today’s top research theme

Oil & Gas | Preview 1QFY18: Crude prices down QoQ; GRMs up YoY/flat QoQ; Inventory losses to dampen refiners’ earnings

  • ​Brent has declined 7% QoQ to USD50.2/bbl, while Singapore GRM has stayed flat QoQ at USD6.4/bbl. Due to the decline in oil prices, we expect inventory loss to hit all refiners – they had reported inventory gains in the previous quarter.
  • Gross marketing margins on diesel and petrol have also contracted. However, petrochemical margins have improved sequentially. As a result, while oil marketing companies are expected to report poor earnings this quarter, RIL would remain broadly flat sequentially. Domestic oil & gas production has improved, which would be beneficial for the upstream companies.
  • All CGD companies are expected to show robust volume growth. Petronet is expected to exhibit improvement in sales volumes this quarter.
