雪佛龍上游業務收益受時機影響被抵銷;加拿大皇家銀行稱,埃克森美孚受到中斷影響。

By

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)週二發布的一份報告指出,受戰爭引發的市場波動影響,雪佛龍(CVX)和埃克森美孚(XOM)將於本周公布第一季業績,市場普遍預期其每股收益分別為1.02美元和0.94美元。 RBC表示,雪佛龍調整後每股盈餘可能達到1.02美元,高於RBC先前預測的0.83美元;營運現金流可能達67.2億美元,高於先前預測的62.6億美元。 RBC補充道,受大宗商品價格走強的影響,雪佛龍上游業務可能獲得16億至22億美元的收益,日產量可能在380萬至390萬桶油當量之間。 報告指出,受中東衝突的影響,雪佛龍下游業務稅後收益可能受到27億至37億美元的負面影響,但這些影響會隨著時間的推移而逆轉。 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)表示,雪佛龍在中東的業務曝險有限,該地區的液體燃料產量僅佔其總產量的1%多一點,而埃克森美孚的這一比例為8%,歐洲同行則為11%至19%。 RBC預計,雪佛龍可能會將股票回購預期上調至目前100億至200億美元區間以上,市場普遍預期第二季回購金額為37億美元,全年回購金額為137億美元。 RBC表示,埃克森美孚的調整後每股盈餘可能為0.94美元,低於RBC先前預測的1.17美元;現金流總額可能為106.2億美元,低於先前預測的144.5億美元。 報告指出,該公司報告稱,其業績受到35億至49億美元的負面時間性影響,以中間值計算,相當於每股約0.93美元,但預計隨著時間的推移,這些影響將會消除。 埃克森美孚預計,中東地區的產量中斷將導致其利潤減少4億至8億美元,此外,對沖貨物還將造成6億至8億美元的額外損失,加拿大皇家銀行補充道。 報告指出,上游產量可能較上季下降約6%,但中東地區的稅收制度或許能夠限制對整體獲利的影響。 加拿大皇家銀行表示,埃克森美孚的區域業務曝險較大,卡達液化天然氣約佔其全球液化天然氣業務組合的三分之二,因此更容易受到業務中斷的影響。 加拿大皇家銀行指出,投資人正密切關注中東資產受損情況,包括卡達的兩條液化天然氣生產線,這兩條生產線可能需要三到五年才能恢復全面運作。 報告也補充道,煉油利潤率仍然是關鍵的不確定因素,埃克森美孚預計僅能獲得0至4億美元的利潤成長,低於先前的預期。 RBC基於2027年企業價值/現金流倍數(EV/DACF)10倍,將雪佛龍的目標股價設定為220美元;而埃克森美孚的目標股價為180美元,倍數為11倍,反映了兩家公司估值上的差異。 RBC維持對雪佛龍的「跑贏大盤」評級,對埃克森美孚的「與行業持平」評級,理由是兩家公司面臨的地緣政治風險敞口和盈利可見性存在差異。
