Strength
Robust 3Q24 earnings performance at the operating level driven by solid top-line and margins on the back of higher ASP (+c.15% YoY) due to higher gas prices (tracking oil movements) coupled with lower sales under HGBT price scheme
Weakness
3Q24 GPM contracted to 18.4% (-360 bps QoQ, +130 bps YoY) on lower gas spread of USD 1.5/mmbtu (-4.7% QoQ, +2.4% YoY), which we attribute to increased sales under HGBT price cap at USD 4-5/mmbtu
Opportunity
LNG trading (9M24: 57 bbtud) should boost PGAS’ revenue growth, supported by 5-year extension of its MSA contracts cargo operation expansions; Management guided for >10% FY25F LNG trading revenue growth; our earnings upgrades to buoy sentiment
Threat
Expansion of HGBT price scheme recipient from 11 to 13, along with Jargas project initiation (88% completion as of 9M24 is set to launch in 1Q25 with zero-spread yield), to exert further margin pressures; possible profit taking on strong YTD market outperformance
