Now, China’s leading independent ethylene oxide (EO) producer is making news again with UBS giving the Hong Kong listco a “Buy” recommendation with a target price of 7.00 hkd (recent share price 4.61).
China Sanjiang management recently met with investors at the UBS Asia Oil, Gas and Chemical Conference.

Sanjiang recently 4.61 hkd“The company confirmed that the construction is well on schedule and should be able to bring the new capacity on stream by end of 2014,” UBS said.
Sanjiang management said EO margins have trended lower and reached historically low levels in Q3 and Q4 this year due to a large amount of new capacity additions in Q1 and Q2 this year.
“With new China EO capacity additions being significantly smaller in 2014 vs 2013, the company expects margin to gradually recover sequentially.
“We think Sanjiang is attractive at 6.2x/3.1x 14E/15E PE and 2013E/14E dividend yield of 4.8%,” UBS added.
