國際局勢牽動石化產業,台塑四寶釋出最新展望。

〔記者張慧雯/台北報導〕美國民主黨贏得期中選舉,加上以色列國會變天,國際局勢變化多端,台塑(1301)、南亞(1303)、台化(1326)、台塑化(6505)針對第4季營運展望發布最新看法,台塑、南亞看好第四季優於第三季,台化則積極控管庫存,台塑化則維持煉油價差維持高檔的看法。

台塑指出,中國十一長假後下游加工廠陸續復工,且第4季為PE、EVA、PP及AE等石化產品傳統旺季,加上中國持續推出刺激經濟措施,可望帶動石化產品需求增加,此外,中東衝突未歇,原油及原料乙烯、丙烯價格維持高檔,支撐石化產品行情,且開工率及產銷量比第3季提高,因此,預估第4季營收較第3季成長。

南亞認為,AI應用持續前行的趨勢不變,硬體發展逐漸由單一機櫃、機櫃群組走向資料中心,所需電力、資金等資源相當龐大,但同時也帶動各種其他產業商機的外溢效果, 成為各國展現國力的重要指標與發展方向,短期內或許因資金規劃及地方政經情勢局部調整,但不可能讓AI發展停止前進,未來除以「電路板為主軸的高階材料」外,更佈局半導體、載板製程用料、特用化學品、複合材料、醫療材料、低碳回收產品及全面電力解決方案等,可降低短期個別產業衝擊,創造長期利益與最大價值。

台化表示,11月5日美國民主黨贏得期中選舉,加上以色列國會變天,中東衝突不太可能進一步升溫,原油跌勢明顯,既有的原料及成品庫存,短期會有跌價損失,權益法收入也會受到影響,但台化一向採取低庫存操作,庫存損失可控,上游原料跌價,將持續謹慎採購讓衝擊降至最低。

台塑化則說,烏克蘭重啟攻擊俄羅斯煉油廠,且俄羅斯再度延長柴油出口禁令,加上沙烏地Ras Tanura煉油廠遭攻擊失火,另外德國煉油廠火災停工,導致大西洋柴油供需仍偏緊縮,歐洲柴油價差保持穩健,但東北亞柴油供給可能因為中國及韓國增加出口,導致亞洲柴油價差上檔受限,但仍高於歷年同期;至於汽油方面,受惠於輕油供給緊縮,輕油價差持續強勢,維持整體輕質油品利差穩健,整體煉油製毛利依然處於高檔。

Open Questions

  • 第四季石化產品實際銷售量能否如預期增長?
  • 中東局勢後續對原油價格的實際衝擊為何?
