The investment landscape of Vietnam has changed considerably since early 2016.  The country’s economic resilience is resulting in the country’s valuations topping its frontier peers in Asia and even trading on par with some of its emerging peers in Asia.  Thus, the prior 30-40% discount to emerging Asia case is slowly fading away as a result of the rise of the country’s stock market valuation in the past year.  It is imperative to note this fact, given that the "30-40% discount to emerging Asia"…

-The oil majors' favourite refining hub in ASEAN is Singapore, while the crude-oil/gas comes mainly from Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Infusion of Saudi capital will help to partially redress that, although Saudi Arabia is only the 7th largest oil-refining country, and ARAMCO has moderate amounts of technological expertise (mainly from its ownership of S-Oil in Korea). -Malaysia and (especially) Indonesia have been wary of "Arabised" or Wahhabi Islam, and see Saudi offers to widen Arabic…

Norway, Colombia, and Nigeria Amid Low Oil Prices The low oil price environment since late 2014 has put varying levels of strain on oil exporting countries and has also provided a benchmark of which countries have some of the most resilient oil producing companies.  As outlined in previous insights, I am bullish on several Vietnamese oil &amp; gas companies which have been able to fare well in this low oil price environment and could experience a strong rebound if oil prices rebound.  The World Bank…

With OPEC production cut, oil stocks will benefit as oil prices recover. This is our first post on oil &amp; gas companies in Vietnam. Investors need to look beyond current earnings. Vietnam’s oil consumption demand still enjoys a good growth rate thanks to the economy growing at a fairly high level (5-6%) per year. Currently, 2/3 demand for Vietnam’s petroleum products are still imported and this opens up opportunities for O&amp;G industry companies to increase production capacity. The market uncertainty still affects business operations of PVD in the next 1-2 years, but in the long-term, from the end of 2018 onward, we believe that PVD will show some signs of improvement when oil prices exceeds USD60/barrel level. Besides, the end of 2018 and 2019 will be the time for a series of O&amp;G projects such as Ca Rong Do, Block B O Mon... going into operation. Hence, it will be a solid foundation for PVD to rediscover its growth potential.
