リヤド・キャピタルは第1四半期決算発表後もサビックの投資判断を「中立」に据え置いた。

By

-- リヤド・キャピタルは、石油化学メーカーであるサウジ基礎産業公社(SASE:2010、商号:サビック)が第1四半期決算を発表したことを受け、同社への投資判断を改めて表明した。 「SABICは0.01億サウジアラビア・リヤルの純利益を計上し、前年同期比および前四半期比で大幅な黒字転換を果たした。これは、当社のより保守的な予想を上回ったが、その主な理由は、EPおよびETP事業の分離に伴う残余公正価値調整を計上したためである。これらの調整は2025年末時点で未完了とされていたものの、最終的に当四半期には計上されなかった。しかしながら、石油化学事業部門では、子会社Kayanが別途発表した2026年第1四半期の業績は、前年同期比で4億8900万サウジアラビア・リヤルの完成品在庫増加と横ばい(-19.1%対-18.9%)を示しており、四半期初めのブタン需要の追い風が弱まったことで3月の需要が大幅に軟化したことを示唆している。これは、石油化学事業の回復の持続性に対する当社の確信を弱めるものである」と、調査会社は月曜日に述べ、グループ全体の業績が子会社の弱さを相殺したと指摘した。 一方、サビックの売上高は前年同期比11%減の261億5000万サウジ・リヤルとなり、リヤド・キャピタルの予想である243億リヤルを下回った。四半期ベースでは、石油化学部門と農業栄養部門の売上高が減少したが、特殊化学品部門は1%弱の成長を記録した。 同社の株価は依然として「中立」の評価で、目標株価は60リヤルとなっている。

EMEA Oil Update: Energy Crisis Deepens With Further Escalation in Middle East

Crude oil prices eased on Tuesday after surging in the previous session as US and Iranian forces exchanged fire in the Persian Gulf, threatening a month-old ceasefire.Front-month Murban crude futures edged up 0.4% to $107.70 per barrel, while Brent futures dropped 1% to $113.29/bbl.Reports said there was an attack on a US warship and an Iranian drone strike on the UAE's Fujairah oil terminal.Analysts noted that the oil market remains on high alert following news of an attack on a US Navy vessel.The hostilities broke out as the US initiated a mission to extract commercial ships currently trapped within the Persian Gulf.US Central Command reportedly confirmed that two American merchant ships successfully completed their transit through the Strait of Hormuz.However, analysts warned that a subsequent direct fire exchange between US and Iranian forces now endangers the survival of the ceasefire established four weeks ago.The regional fallout intensified as the UAE reported its first defensive interceptions of Iranian missiles and drones since the April 8 ceasefire began.However, one Iranian drone successfully struck an oil terminal at the Port of Fujairah, sparking a major fire at the facility.Record-breaking supply losses of 10 million barrels per day have already depleted global inventories, and experts warn that if the Strait remains obstructed, this crisis could extend through late 2026 and into 2027.
