石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社4月27日迪拜报道，石化、金属和化肥生产商卡塔尔工业公司(IQ)周四公布的第一季度净利润增长37%，远超分析师预期。
该公司在一份声明中称，在截止到3月31日的三个月里，这家中东第二大石化公司按市值报告的净利润为13亿里亚尔(约合3.571亿美元)，这与去年同期公布的9亿里亚尔相比。
路透社调查的三位分析师的平均预估的季度净利润为11.0亿里亚尔。
该公司表示，聚乙烯价格持续回升，燃料添加剂价格较去年明显改善，并补充称，稳定的油价也有所帮助。
化肥和钢材价格也有所改善。 该公司表示，销量较上年略有改善，在2017年第一季度，该部门在一次延长的未计划的停产时间后，通过更高的产量提高了聚乙烯销售。
全球需求的复苏帮助了该公司的化肥领域。

Industries Qatar Q1 net profit up 37%, beats forecasts
Petrochemicals, metals and fertiliser producer Industries Qatar (IQ) posted a 37 percent rise in first-quarter net profit on Thursday, according to a statement, beating analysts’ forecasts.
The Middle East’s second-biggest petrochemicals company by market value reported a net profit of 1.3 billion riyals ($357.1 million) in the three months ending March 31, it said in a statement.
This compares with the 900 million riyals it posted in the corresponding period of last year. The average forecast of three analysts polled by Reuters was for a quarterly net profit of 1.10 billion riyals. Polyethylene prices had continued to recover, while fuel additive prices had improved notably compared to last year, it said, adding that stable oil prices also helped. Fertilizer and steel prices also improved, it said.
Sales volumes moderately improved from the previous year, it said, with polyethylene sales stronger through higher production after the segment was on an extended unplanned shutdown during the first quarter of 2017. Recovery in global demand had aided the company’s fertilizer segment.
