We maintain our BUY rating on Inter Cars (CAR) and our HOLD on Auto Partner (APR). The 2024E outlook now seems more challenging for auto parts distributors than we assumed in our February update. We believe, however, that this has already been priced in by the market. The key differences in the 2024E outlook between APR and CAR were reflected in the 1Q24 yoy SG&A dynamics, with CAR weathering the cost pressure better, in our view. Despite the short-term challenges, we believe the long-term funda...

Benchmark refining margins rose in July, by USD 0.7/bbl, to USD 9.5/bbl, after four straight months of decline remaining about USD 1.9/bbl higher than usual for the season. Better petrol cracks were the main driver of margins and we believe that this may be temporary. Petrochemicals margins remain under pressure.

Key Message The company reported a clean CCS operating profit of RON 1,379 mn, marking a 15% decline YoY and a 11% decrease quarter-over-quarter. The decline was primarily driven by the weak performance of the Gas & Power segment due to lower sales, higher gas storage obligations, and a decreased refining indicator margin in the R&M segment, partially offset by higher hydrocarbon prices, increased refined product sales, and higher retail and commercial margins in R&M.
Key Message OMV reported a clean CCS-based operating result of EUR 1,232 mn, marking a 4% increase YoY, but a 17% decrease QoQ. The hydrocarbon price environment was stable. Refining margins decreased, likely permanently, negatively impacting the sector. Chemical market recovery is slow. The Gas & Power segment had a challenging quarter, although mostly due to temporary effects. Key positives The key positive development for the quarter is a slight increase in hydrocarbon prices comp...
