PETROCHINA (00857.HK)'s 2025 net profit fell by 4% YoY to RMB157.3 billion, in line with BOCI's expectation, BOCI published a research report saying. The growth in the downstream business largely offset the decline in upstream business earnings.

The broker anticipated the 2026 average Brent oil price to rise 19% YoY to US$81 per barrel, driving a 25% YoY increase in earnings this year.
