Greek Oil & Gas: A more refined business model (Hellenic Petroleum upgraded to BUY, Motor Oil Hellas stays BUY)

We have upgraded Hellenic Petroleum to BUY (from Hold), with an updated 12M price target (PT) of EUR 6.90 (from EUR 6.02), while we maintain our BUY recommendation on Motor Oil Hellas, with an updated 12M price target (PT) of EUR 17.8 (from EUR 17.0). Both companies are charting out a lower-carbon future with wind or solar, and both are also enjoying a rapid rise in refining margins and much better domestic demand. Huge investments in power and gas infrastructure are needed to meet the Greek Government’s targets, opening up new opportunities in those sectors for both companies. We expect significant investments in diverse energy projects, but we are confident that the management teams will maintain the dividend distribution that we have grown used to. Both companies have new corporate structures geared to the race to zero.
