Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>We doubt if <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/petrochina-co-ltd-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:262:1" rel="noopener">PetroChina (857 HK)</a> can sustain good performance in 2024. On historical patterns, it has never sustained as one of HSI's best-performing stocks for two consecutive years. </li>
<li>Consensus growth forecasts of 4.4% and 4.3% for FY24-25 are likely wrong as this means FY25 will be the 5th straight year of growth. PetroChina does not behave like that. </li>
<li>Crude oil price has got back to the end-2022 level, but PetroChina's share price is still 50% higher. A return to their high correlation before 2023 will lead to underperformance. </li>
