PCHEM: Future Margins Will Likely Stay Compressed Amid Weak Demand

Analysts have nudged their price target on PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad slightly lower, trimming fair value from MYR2.18 to MYR2.06 as they temper profit margin expectations, despite modestly improving revenue growth forecasts and a lower discount rate. Analyst Commentary Bearish analysts interpret the latest price target reduction as a signal that medium term profitability for PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad may be structurally weaker than previously assumed, even as revenue expectations inch higher.
