2223: Successor Feedstock Agreement Will Sustain Capacity And Support Undervalued Potential

Analysts kept their fair value estimate for Saudi Aramco Base Oil Company Luberef steady at SAR 122.03 per share. This reflects only very small tweaks to inputs such as discount rate, revenue growth, profit margin, and future P/E assumptions, rather than a material change in their overall view.
