雪佛龍收購Hess後Hess Midstream獲評級升至BBB-




標普環球評級上調Hess Midstream Operations LP評級至BBB-,穩定展望

標普環球評級(S&P Global Ratings)宣布,因Chevron完成收購Hess Corp全部權益,將Hess Midstream Operations LP的信用評級由之前的水平提升至「BBB-」,並給予穩定的展望。評級機構預計,公司在2025年之前,調整後的淨負債與EBITDA比率將維持在2.5倍至3.0倍之間,受惠於其高於平均水平的合約結構。

標普同時調整了Hess Midstream與母公司關係的戰略重要性,由之前對Hess Corp「策略性重要」(strategically important),降為對Chevron「中度策略性」(moderately strategic)。原因在於收購後,Hess Midstream在Chevron整體業務中所佔比例縮小,Bakken油田產量約只佔Chevron總產量的5%。

此次評級提升較Hess Midstream的獨立信用狀況高出一級,反映標普認為Chevron與Hess Midstream之間的關係足以讓Hess Midstream在特定可預見情況下獲得Chevron的額外支持。評級機構指出,若Hess Midstream的淨負債與EBITDA比率持續高於4.0倍,或失去對Chevron的戰略重要性,則評級可能下調。不過,即使Chevron本身評級下調,也不會自動導致Hess Midstream評級受影響。

未來若Hess Midstream能擴大規模及多元化業務,提升風險承受能力並將槓桿維持在3.5倍以下,標普有可能再次上調評級。另外,如果Hess Midstream在Chevron整體策略中的重要性提升,亦有望獲得評級提升,但短期內此可能性不大。

編者評論:Chevron收購後的策略調整與評級意義

這次標普對Hess Midstream的評級上調,反映出收購完成後母公司結構的變化以及風險控制的改善。從「策略性重要」降至「中度策略性」,意味著Chevron在整體業務中並不依賴Hess Midstream作為核心資產,這對於投資者來說是一把雙刃劍:一方面代表風險分散,減少對單一業務的依賴;另一方面也顯示該業務在集團戰略中的相對弱化,未來成長動力或許有限。

評級機構設定的槓桿比率指標清晰而具體,突顯財務穩健對信用評級的重要性。對投資者而言,這是衡量公司財務健康和經營穩定性的關鍵參考。未來若Hess Midstream能夠透過擴大業務範圍和多元化,提升自身的營運彈性,將有助於其信用評級再提升,進一步吸引長期資金。

此外,Chevron對Hess Midstream的「額外支持」承諾,也體現出大型企業整合後的資源共享優勢。這種策略性聯繫在能源行業尤為重要,因為產業波動性大且資金需求高。

總結來說,這次評級調整不僅是財務數字的反映,更是母公司戰略定位與業務整合的結果。對香港及國際投資者而言,理解這種企業結構變化與信用評級之間的關係,有助於更全面評估投資風險和機會。
