Petkim: Stop STARt (stays HOLD)

In this report, we maintain our HOLD recommendation on Petkim, with a new price target (PT) of TRY 4.0, offering 9% upside. The long-awaited STAR refinery is now providing lower cost feedstock to the plant, the full benefits of which we expect to see in 2020E. Oil prices have slipped from recent highs, bringing a boost to short-term margins. However, an unabated appetite for capital expenditure in the sector is bringing more than 10mt of new ethylene capacity onstream in 2019E, with more to come in the following years. The outlook for local demand is weak, in our view; and, while Turkey has stabilised, risks remain. Despite a stated wish to pay a regular dividend, no cash was distributed from the 2018 earnings, due to management’s worries over leverage.
