沙特阿拉伯石化工業(yè)第二季度收益超過(guò)預(yù)期

　　據(jù)路透社8月8日利雅得報(bào)道，由于石化產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)商從波動(dòng)的石油價(jià)格中獲益，沙特阿拉伯的石化工業(yè)的第二季度收益超過(guò)了預(yù)期，但是，這些石化公司在今年下半年不太可能還是那么幸運(yùn)。

　　沙特阿拉伯14個(gè)上市石化公司過(guò)去幾周中宣布的第二季度合并后的凈利潤(rùn)同比下降了20%至68億里亞爾（18億美元）但是，它們超過(guò)了分析師們的預(yù)測(cè)，后者平均預(yù)測(cè)將下降40%。

　　兩家石化公司第二季度盈利，而分析師們?cè)A(yù)測(cè)這兩家石化公司將虧損。其中一家盈利石化公司是沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司麾下的子公司沙特卡揚(yáng)石化公司，第二季度獲得了9100萬(wàn)里亞爾（2430萬(wàn)美元）的凈利潤(rùn)，從而結(jié)束了連續(xù)5個(gè)季度的虧損并超過(guò)了分析師們平均估計(jì)虧損1842萬(wàn)里亞爾（4911萬(wàn)美元）。

　　這對(duì)沙特證券交易所來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)好消息。石化公司在沙特證券交易所的3850億美元的市值中占到大約四分之一。

Saudi petchem margins benefit from oil, but not for long

August 08,2016

Riyadh

Second-quarter earnings in Saudi Arabias petrochemical industry beat expectations as producers reaped the benefits of volatile oil prices, but companies look unlikely to be as lucky in the second half of this year.

Combined net profits of the kingdoms 14 listed petrochemical firms, announced over the past couple of weeks, fell by a fifth from a year earlier to SR6.8 billion ($1.8 billion) in the April-June period, but they beat the forecasts of analysts, who had on average expected a 40 per cent plunge.

Two firms posted profits while analysts had predicted losses. Saudi Kayan, an affiliate of Saudi Basic Industries (Sabic), swung to a net profit of SR91.0 million ($24.3 million), ending a run of five straight quarterly losses and exceeding analysts average estimate of a loss of SR184.2 million ($49.11 million).

That was good news for Saudi Arabias stock market, where petrochemical firms account for about a quarter of the bourses capitalisation of $385 billion. – Reuters
