MOL slightly missed Clean CCS-based EBITDA consensus, reporting USD 682 mn vs. USD 704 mn. However, pre-tax profit and net profit fell significantly short due to one-off factors, including a larger-than-expected CCS effect in Downstream, a year-end impairment in Upstream, and a substantial FX loss from HUF depreciation—partially offset by a much lower-than-expected extra tax in Slovakia. Annual operating cash flow is up 4% YoY, and 2025 guidance is 10% above Bloomberg consensus, support...

MOL reported its fourth quarter results this morning (21 February), which were below expectations, and announced its guidance for 2025E. The EBITDA was 24% lower than the previous quarter, at HUF 226bn, and 16% and 18% below our and the consensus expectations, respectively. The EBITDA was affected negatively by a large CCS effect of HUF 35.5bn, related mostly to carbon emissions permit costs. This accounted for almost all of the underperformance in downstream. The circular economy segment was hi...

We maintain our BUY rating on MOL, with an updated 12M price target (PT) of HUF 3,600 (from HUF 3,810), offering 22% upside. Upstream projects in Azerbaijan, Hungary and Kazakhstan are boosting short-term production. Oil prices look stable, while we forecast a EUR 38/MWh gas price for 2025E. Most of the arbitrary taxes are now history. Refining margins remain at healthy levels, although petrochemicals margins are still poor. The Rijeka coker should boost margins and volumes later this year, and ...

This weekend (1-2 February), the US government may impose 25% tariffs on all Canadian goods entering the US. It may seem of little consequence from our perspective, but we believe that it could have a significant impact on the global oil and refining markets. Canada produces 5m barrels of oil per day and exports 80% to the US. About 25% of all crude oil processed in the US is from Canada. The trade was worth approximately USD 100bn in 2024. The oil is too heavy for most global refineries and the...
