Citi Downgrades Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical (SHI) to Hold

April 21, 2009 9:13 AM EDT

Citi downgrades Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical (NYSE: SHI) from Buy to Hold.

Citi analyst says, "Valuation no longer attractive; prefer exposure through parent Sinopec - SPC rose 40% and outperformed HSCEI by 19% in the past month due to improved earnings visibility on refining. However, we believe the current valuation (15x FY09E PER, 1.2x P/BV) is not particularly attractive and downgrade the stock from Buy to Hold. Key upside risk would be stronger-than-expected domestic refining margin, but we prefer exposure in parent Sinopec given its lower valuation."

Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited (SPC) is a China-based petrochemical company.
