Refining Margin Rise May Provide Tailwind for Ampol, Viva Energy -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
03/06

2332 GMT - Surging refining margins due to the Iran conflict might provide a meaningful tailwind for both Ampol and Viva Energy in 1H, Macquarie says. Refining margins are higher on perceived risk and by Iran targeting facilities in the Middle East, with 550,000 barrels/day temporarily offline at Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura plant. "Adding further upward pressure to margins, China's government is imposing a ban on the export of diesel and gasoline by state-owned enterprises during the current Strait of Hormuz crisis (despite having 4-5 months of strategic reserves cover)," Macquarie says. Its price target on Ampol rises 11% to A$36.00/share. Viva Energy's price target is unchanged at A$2.70/share by Macquarie, which has outperform calls on both stocks. Ampol is up 1.2% at A$32.45 and Viva Energy is 3.4% higher at A$2.14 today. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
