what happened
According to Market Talk, citing RBC Capital Markets analyst Adnan Dhanani, the strong refining result at Austria's OMV was not enough to offset a clearly weaker contribution from Borouge International.
The chemicals unit came in 78% below expectations, even though those had already been cut. Dhanani nonetheless sees better prospects: "The outlook for chemicals looks to be improving alongside higher Borouge utilization rates," he said. Shares were up 0.4% at 73.05 euros.
why it matters
Weakness in chemicals can erase strong refining margins at integrated oil companies, so investors watch the petrochemical segment closely. The analyst's view points to a possible recovery if Borouge raises its utilization.
