Analyst Osbert Tang, CFA, published a bearish research report on PetroChina (857 HK) titled “PetroChina (857 HK): An Interesting Contrarian View” on Smartkarma. Tang expressed doubts about PetroChina‘s ability to maintain good performance in 2024 due to historical patterns, aggressive growth forecasts, and potential underperformance tied to crude oil prices. The report highlights that PetroChina has never been one of HSI’s best-performing stocks for two consecutive years and questions the consensus growth forecasts for FY24-25. Tang suggests that PetroChina‘s share price, which is currently 50% higher than end-2022 levels, may underperform if it reverts to its previous high correlation with crude oil prices.
