在石油行业，炼油商的利润直接与原油价格和炼油产品价格之间的差值挂钩，这种价差被称为裂解价差。像大多数制造商一样，炼油商处于两个市场之中：需要买进原材料的市场和卖出成品的市场。由于炼厂的产量根据装置的配置、炼制的原油种类及其满足市场季节性产品需求而有所变化，因此有不同类型的裂解价差可以帮助炼油商对冲原油和炼油产品的不同比例，而炼油商必须评估自己的状况，制定与其具体现货市场运作相协调的裂解价差期货市场策略。

简单说裂解价差=成品銷售价(汽油，柴油，煤油)減去原油价：
佔Hy 38%的汔油，其3,4,5,6月份仍有75美元。
布伦特原油为64.8美元。
https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/brent-crude-oil
因此Hy Q1,Q2的业积仍有看头，起码在汽油销售方面有10.2美元的裂解价差。
另佔Hy 销售43%的柴油也相接近，只要布伦持原油维持在55至70元间公可仍有可观净利。
只供参考，買卖自负。

Valuing Hengyuan - Discounted Cash Flow Method
Author: david_tan | Publish date:
Subsequent to my analysis titled ‘Hengyuan – No Doom For 2018’, there have been strong discussions on the need to use the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method to value HRC.
There are various methods to value a company and DCF is certainly a popular method. Personally, I have reservations about this method as it involves too many crucial variables where minor tweaks to these variables will lead to the valuation result to differ significantly. And it goes without saying that everyone will have an opinion on what constitutes the best numerical value when it comes to applying these variables; this inevitably makes for even more disagreements on the result of the valuation. Furthermore, DCF requires projection far into the future; 10 years is a common time period used. My opinion is the further the projection into the future, the less reliable the numbers are.
But the use of DCF is not without merit. Personally, I find that DCF is useful when valuing a stable company where the operations are mature, the industry it operates within is stable, and its historical accounting numbers do not fluctuate significantly. Under these conditions, the analyst is allowed to work within a more predictable environment leading to more reliable numbers being used in the forecast and projections. Unfortunately, I do not see HRC falling within these criteria as the refinery business is highly volatile. Nevertheless, I am also intrigue by what sort of numbers may possibly come up for HRC via applying the DCF method.
PROJECTING GROSS PROFIT
Here are some key assumptions:
1. Average gross profit for the past 8 latest reported quarters (1 January 2016 to 31 December 2017) is used as the base number. In determining this average, quarters with the highest and lowest gross profit were disregarded to eliminate unusual fluctuations.
2. Based on information available from the quarterly reports, a minor 3-week shutdown was identified in Q2 2017. The gross profit for the said quarter was normalised for our averaging purpose.
3. Major shutdown of 75 days is assumed in Year 2018.
4. Statutory shutdowns of 25 days each is assumed in Year 2021, Year 2024 and Year 2027 on the basis that a statutory shutdown is required every 3 years.
