Malaysia's Oil and Gas Outlook Seen Supported by Petronas Upstream Investment

Dow Jones

Sep 24

0330 GMT - Petronas upstream investments could support Malaysia's oil and gas activity outlook, says RHB IB analyst Lee Yun Leon in a note. The company's capital investments reached 41.4 billion ringgit in 1H, with downstream spending of 26 billion ringgit accounting for 63%, due to an additional investment in Pengerang Refining and Petrochemical. Upstream capex rose 19% on year to 8.7 billion ringgit in 1H, he says. Geopolitical tensions are expected to provide near-term support for oil prices, petrochemical prices and freight rates, he says, and maintains 2026 and 2027 Brent crude forecasts at $89 and $72 a barrel, respectively. RHB has an overweight rating on Malaysia's oil and gas sector. MISC and Dialog are top picks on MISC's defensive earnings and Dialog's resilient recurring income.
