COSCO SHIP ENGY (01138) saw its stock price climb 6.48% in morning trading, currently trading at HK$9.20 with a turnover of HK$266 million.
OPEC+ will begin increasing crude oil production by 137,000 barrels per day starting in November, representing a relatively moderate production increase. Zheshang Securities noted that regarding oil transportation, OPEC+ production increase expectations, combined with peak season demand and low base effects, make this year's peak season promising.
Bank of America Securities previously stated that COSCO SHIP ENGY's first-half operational performance largely met expectations, with net profit exceeding forecasts mainly due to one-time gains. The firm has raised its earnings forecasts for 2025-2027 to reflect the tailwinds that OPEC+ production increases and tightening U.S. sanctions will bring to the crude oil tanker market. The firm maintains its "Buy" rating, believing the group will be a major beneficiary of the oil tanker market recovery.
