- A challenging period ahead. PETRONAS anticipates a weaker 2H12 performance vis-à-vis 1H12 on domestic and global headwinds. As a result, it may miss its FY12 pretax profit target of MYR90b and its MYR30b dividends payment to the Government. Also, it plans to reduce its payout ratio to a more reasonable 30% from 2013 to support its long-term capex plans and sustain growth. We remain positive on the service providers. Overweight.
