Petkim: A crude awakening (downgraded to HOLD)

In this report, we downgrade Petkim from Buy to HOLD, with a new price target (PT) of TRY 5.80, offering 11% upside, on rising oil prices, Turkish economic woes and major sector investments. Crude oil is at its highest level in four years, ethylene prices have fallen by 3% and 5.6m mta of new ethylene capacity should be onstream by the year-end. Internally, however, the company should benefit from cheaper raw materials and lower logistic costs due to the STAR refinery. Petkim has been increasing its default capacity utilisation rates and has launched a number of initiatives to cut costs, increase reliability and improve product yields. The company paid out 39% of its 2017 earnings in 2018, and management has indicated a desire to pay regular dividends.
