Petkim: TRY to get your FX of chemicals (upgraded to BUY)

We have upgraded Petkim to BUY (from Hold), with a new price target (PT) of TRY 6.58 (from TRY 4.00), which represents 43.1% upside. Petrochemicals has been the star of the oil business in 2020 ytd, but Petkim has only outperformed the unfashionable Turkish market by 5% this year. Some segments of the petrochemicals industry are seeing overinvestment, but low oil prices are providing support across the sector, and economic recovery should lift margins in a number of sub-segments that have been suffering. Petkim has been growing its trading business, exploiting the big product deficit, and risk averse customers. In the longer term, new competition is on the way, but this is either not on problem products, or too far in the future to worry about now. For those concerned by the recent trajectory of the TRY, Petkim is almost immune to TRY movements.
