PTG: Low Marketing Margin to Drag 4Q21 Earnings to Net Loss

By Research Group at Country Group Securities

  • We expect PTG to post a net loss of Bt174m in 4Q21E, a first-time quarterly loss dragged by decline in marketing margin of oil retail business.
  • The price cap implemented by government on diesel during 4Q21 dragged the marketing margin to Bt1.35/liter (-30% YoY, -28% QoQ), well below the breakeven level of Bt1.6/liter.
  • We expect the earnings to recover from loss 1Q22 onwards and gradually pick up each quarter in 2022, We are more positive on the 2H22-2023 outlook.
