Hua Er Jie Jian Wen· 2025-04-28 12:32
一季度,中石化交出了一份不如人意的成绩单:营收同比下降6.9%,归母净利同比大幅下滑27.6%。在 全球经济复苏不确定性较大、需求增长放缓的背景下,中石化业绩面临巨大挑战。 周一晚间,中石化公布一季度财报: 财务表现:营业收入同比下降6.9%至7354亿元;净利润同比大幅下滑27.6%至133亿元;每股收益0.109 元,同比降28.8%。 业务分部表现: 现金流:现金流量净额为81.38亿元,而上年同期为净流出137.55亿元。 资本支出: 一季度资本支出182.48亿元,主要投向勘探开发、化工和炼油板块。 业绩下滑主要是因为国际油价下跌和下游需求疲软的双重挤压。 据财报披露,一季度普氏布伦特原油现货均价为75.7美元/桶,同比下降9.0%,自产原油实现价格也下 跌5.2%至71.50美元/桶。与此同时,国内成品油需求同比下降4.0%,化工毛利持续处于低位。 财务费用飙升成利润"杀手"。一季报显示,中石化财务费用同比大增69.3%至45.8亿元,主要原因是外 币贷款汇兑净损失增加。这一因素成为拖累公司整体业绩的重要原因之一。此外,投资收益同比大幅下 降69.9%至16.5亿元,这主要受套期保值业务盈亏变动以 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings Weak Investment Outlook - Crude Oil, L, PP, PVC, PTA/PR (PTA), Methanol, Urea, Asphalt [1] Neutral Investment Outlook - LPG, PP, PVC, Glass, Soda Ash [1] Bullish Investment Outlook - PX, PTA/PR (PTA) [1] 2. Core Views of the Report - **Crude Oil**: OPEC+ may accelerate the pace of production increase, putting pressure on oil prices. Long - term supply is expected to be in surplus, and short - term prices are likely to be weak with range - bound fluctuations [1][3][4]. - **LPG**: Affected by tariffs, the cost of imports has increased, but the impact is decreasing. It follows the trend of oil prices and is in a volatile state [1][7]. - **L**: With continuous inventory accumulation upstream and increasing production, supply is abundant while demand is weakening. In the long - term, the pressure of new device launches and the decline of crude oil prices make the rebound bearish [1][10]. - **PP**: The parking ratio is rising, resulting in a situation of weak supply and demand. In the long - term, the pressure of new device launches and the decline of crude oil prices make the rebound bearish [1][13]. - **PVC**: The spring maintenance is insufficient, with factory inventories increasing and social inventories decreasing for 7 consecutive weeks. It is in a low - level volatile state [1][16]. - **PX**: The devices are under planned maintenance, and the overall demand - side maintenance is high. In April, the fundamentals improved, and recently it has shown a strong - biased volatile trend following cost fluctuations [1][18]. - **PTA/PR (PTA)**: The high volume of device maintenance has alleviated the supply - side pressure. The downstream polyester load is high but is expected to weaken. In the short - term, it shows a strong trend, and attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities at high prices [1][22]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The devices are under planned maintenance, and the arrival volume is high. The demand from the polyester industry is high but expected to weaken, and the cost support is limited. In the short - term, it is in a volatile adjustment state with a bearish rebound [1][24]. - **Glass**: The macro - hedging sentiment has cooled down, and real - estate data decline has narrowed. Supply is stable at a low level, and demand is seasonally recovering, but high intermediate inventories and weak restocking expectations suppress the rebound of the market [1][28]. - **Soda Ash**: There are more maintenance plans in May, and supply may contract again. Although the market sentiment has improved, the supply - demand drive is limited, and the overall trend is volatile [1][31]. - **Methanol**: Despite device maintenance, the overall supply pressure is still large, and the demand is expected to weaken. In the short - term, it is in a relatively loose state, and a bearish view is taken on rebounds [1][33]. - **Urea**: The supply pressure remains large, and the agricultural demand is in a gap period while the industrial demand is weakening. Although the fertilizer export growth rate is fast, the overall view is bearish [1]. - **Asphalt**: Both supply and demand are weak, and inventory is accumulating. The cost of crude oil is under pressure, and the valuation is high, resulting in a weak trend [1]. 3. Summaries According to Related Catalogs Crude Oil - **Market Review**: On the previous Friday, international oil prices rose slightly, with WTI up 0.37%, Brent up 0.23%, and domestic SC up 0.69% [2]. - **Basic Logic**: Oil prices have reached a pressure level, and OPEC+ members propose to accelerate oil production increase in June. On the supply side, the number of active oil rigs in the US increased, and Kazakhstan's oil production decreased in March. On the demand side, China's gasoline production in March decreased year - on - year. In terms of inventory, US commercial crude oil and strategic crude oil reserves increased, while gasoline and distillate inventories decreased [3]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: In the long - term, due to the tariff war, the impact of new energy, and OPEC+ being in an expansion cycle, oil supply will be in surplus, and the price will fluctuate between 55 - 65 US dollars. In the short - term, the resistance to price increases is rising, and it will be in a weak range - bound state. Attention should be paid to the range of SC [485 - 505] [4]. LPG - **Market Review**: On April 25, the PG main contract closed at 4406 yuan/ton, down 0.61% month - on - month. Spot prices in Shandong, East China, and South China were 4820 yuan/ton, 4910 yuan/ton, and 4910 yuan/ton respectively, with Shandong down 10 yuan/ton and the other two remaining unchanged [6]. - **Basic Logic**: Recently, the spot price of LPG has decreased, and it follows the range - bound trend of upstream oil prices. As of April 25, the number of warehouse receipts remained unchanged, the profit of PDH devices decreased, and the profit of alkylation devices increased. The supply increased slightly, while the demand of downstream devices decreased. The refinery inventory decreased slightly, and the port inventory increased [7]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: In the long - term, due to tariff disturbances, the import cost has increased, and there is short - term cost support. Technically, it follows the trend of oil prices. Strategies include a positive spread operation for PG05 - 06 and selling call options. Attention should be paid to the range of PG [4350 - 4450] [7]. L - **Market Review**: The closing prices of L01, L05, and L09 decreased, and the main contract's trading volume increased. Spot prices were mostly stable, and import and production profits changed. The main contract's basis increased, and the 5 - 9 spread decreased [9]. - **Basic Logic**: This year, new production capacities have been put into operation, and some devices have started production. The import windows of some products are closed, and the demand for agricultural films is in the off - season. Upstream inventory is accumulating, production has increased for 5 consecutive periods, supply is abundant, and demand is weakening. In the long - term, the pressure of new device launches and the decline of crude oil prices make the rebound bearish [10]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: A bearish view should be taken at high prices. Attention should be paid to the range of L [7080 - 7200] [10]. PP - **Market Review**: The closing prices of PP01, PP05, and PP09 decreased, and the main contract's trading volume increased slightly. Spot prices were mostly stable, and production and import profits changed. The parking ratio increased, and the basis of the main contract increased [12]. - **Basic Logic**: In the first quarter, a new PP device was put into operation, and attention should be paid to the launch progress of a new PDH device in May. Affected by tariffs, product exports are under pressure. The parking ratio is rising, resulting in a situation of weak supply and demand. In the long - term, the pressure of new device launches and the decline of crude oil prices make the rebound bearish [13]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Short - term observation is recommended, and a bearish view should be taken in the medium - term. Attention should be paid to the range of PP [7050 - 7150] [13]. PVC - **Market Review**: The closing prices of V01, V05, and V09 decreased slightly, and the main contract's trading volume increased. Spot prices were mostly stable, and the cost of production decreased slightly. The basis of the main contract increased, and the 5 - 9 spread decreased [15]. - **Basic Logic**: In January, a new device was put into operation, and the supply is under pressure. The real - estate completion area decline has narrowed, and downstream demand is seasonally recovering. Exports from January to March increased significantly, and the offer price to India decreased in April. Spring maintenance is insufficient, factory inventories are increasing, social inventories are decreasing for 7 consecutive weeks, and warehouse receipts are continuously registered. It is in a low - level volatile state [16]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Short - term observation is recommended, and a bullish view can be taken on pull - backs. Attention should be paid to the range of V [4970 - 5060] [16]. PX - **Market Review**: On April 25, the spot price of PX in East China was 6600 yuan/ton (unchanged month - on - month), and the PX09 contract closed at 6230 yuan/ton (+64). The basis in East China was 370 yuan/ton (-64) [17]. - **Basic Logic**: PX devices are under planned maintenance, which has alleviated the supply - side pressure. Some domestic and overseas devices are under maintenance or have reduced their loads. The processing spread is at a low level in the past five years, and the gasoline cracking spread is rising. The weekly production and the Asian capacity utilization rate have decreased. The import volume in March increased. The demand from the PTA industry is expected to weaken due to more device maintenance. In April, the fundamentals improved, and recently it has shown a strong - biased volatile trend following cost fluctuations [18]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Attention should be paid to the range of PX [6180 - 6320] [19]. PTA/PR (PTA) - **Market Review**: On April 25, the spot price of PTA in East China was 4490 yuan/ton (+62), and the TA09 contract closed at 4400 yuan/ton (+30). The TA5 - 9 spread was 32 yuan/ton (+48), and the basis in East China was 90 yuan/ton (+32) [20][21]. - **Basic Logic**: Many PTA devices are under maintenance, which has alleviated the supply - side pressure. Some devices are restarting or planning to restart, while others are under maintenance. The downstream polyester load is high but is expected to weaken. The production and sales rates of polyester products have rebounded, but the inventory is still high. The terminal weaving industry's inventory is also high, and orders are decreasing. PTA inventory is decreasing. In the short - term, it shows a strong trend, and attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities at high prices [22]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities at high prices. Attention should be paid to the range of TA [4370 - 4500] [1]. Ethylene Glycol - **Market Review**: On April 25, the spot price of ethylene glycol in East China was 4184 yuan/ton (-32), and the EG09 contract closed at 4160 yuan/ton (-19). The EG5 - 9 spread was 12 yuan/ton (+6), and the basis in East China was 24 yuan/ton (-13) [23]. - **Basic Logic**: Domestic and overseas devices are under planned maintenance, which has alleviated the supply - side pressure.

Glass - **Market Review**: The spot market price increased, the futures market was in a low - level volatile state, the basis of the main contract decreased, and the number of warehouse receipts remained unchanged [27]. - **Basic Logic**: The macro - hedging sentiment has cooled down, and real - estate data decline has narrowed. Supply is stable at a low level, and demand is seasonally recovering. However, the high inventory of upstream and intermediate enterprises suppresses the short - term rebound. Enterprises may reduce prices to avoid inventory accumulation before the May Day holiday. The total enterprise inventory increased this week, ending a 5 - week consecutive decrease. The futures discount to Hubei's spot price has increased [28]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Attention should be paid to the range of FG [1100 - 1140] [28]. Soda Ash - **Market Review**: The spot price of heavy soda ash was stable, the futures market was in a warm - biased volatile state, the basis increased, the number of warehouse receipts decreased, and the number of effective forecasts remained unchanged [30]. - **Basic Logic**: There are more maintenance plans in May, and supply may contract again. The comprehensive capacity utilization rate and weekly production have decreased slightly. The downstream demand has not changed much, and the inventory of soda ash plants has decreased slightly, but the absolute inventory is still high. The profits of the two main production methods have increased. The market sentiment has improved, but the supply - demand drive is limited, and the overall trend is volatile [31]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Attention should be paid to the range of SA [1350 - 1380] [31]. Methanol - **Market Review**: On April 25, the spot price of methanol in East China was 2413 yuan/ton (+5), and the main 09 contract closed at 2288 yuan/ton (-1). The basis in East China and the port increased, and the China - Southeast Asia methanol re - export profit remained unchanged [33]. - **Basic Logic**: Although domestic and overseas devices are under maintenance or have reduced their loads, the overall supply pressure is still large due to the high comprehensive capacity utilization rate and the expected arrival of imports. The demand from the MTO industry is expected to weaken, and the traditional downstream demand is in the off - season. The social inventory has decreased slightly, and the number of warehouse receipts has decreased. The cost support is weak due to the sufficient supply of coal [33]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: A bearish view should be taken on rebounds. Attention should be paid to the range of MA [2250 - 2300] [34].
