My main objective to reproduce this article is to teach you how to become a super investor. My intention is noble but it would seem that I am boasting again.
As I said many a time before, there are many share selection criteria such as P/E , dividend yield, price to book value, NTA etc, but I consider the most important criterion is profit growth prospect.
Before you buy any share you must make sure that the company can make more money this year than last year and it can make more money next year than this year and continue to make increasing money in the foreseeable next few years.
Jaya Tiasa has this ability of producing more and more profit in the next 10 years. Now you, especially kk123 & wt222 who has ridiculed me before must go back to study my article “Why I sold R Sawit and SOP to buy Jaya Tiasa”. It is important for those who have not been successful in stock picking must change their old style or mind-set. Kk123 & wt222 must examine your track record to realise how well you have performed before you dare to ridicule me.
I published the following article on Tradewinds Plantation on
Koon Yew Yin- 22nd Feb 2013
There are many famous cash rich plantation companies but they are usually fully valued. Of course, it is very safe to buy them but I prefer to buy undervalued shares and take some calculated risk to earn exceptional profit.
On 19th March 2012, UOB Kay Hian published a report on Tradewinds Plantation (TWSP). The salient points are:
a) TWSP is the sixth-largest plantation company in Malaysia by planted area. Only six listed plantation companies in Malaysia have a planted area of over 90,000ha each.
b) Its FFB production to grow at 3-year CAGR of 13.4%. Fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production is expected to grow 12-15% in 2012-14, higher than industry growth of 5-8%. The strong production growth will be supported by: a) 11% pa increase in mature area for the next four years, b) 20% of young areas to provide strong double-digit growth, and c) yield improvement in its prime areas (49% of planted areas).
c) It is a hidden gem. All TWSP’s land is within Malaysia. Given the scarcity of land in Malaysia, its land would be more valuable than similar land in Indonesia. At the current plantation land market price, Tradewinds’ RNAV would be RM19.58, significantly higher than its current share price.
With its FFB production increases by 13% (compound annual growth rate) and its recent acquisition, TWSP has more planted land and FFB production than Genting Plantation.
FFB production (Tons): Dec 2012 - Nov - Oct - Sept total
TWSP 149,000 - 167,000 -178,000 – 154,000 = 648,000
Genting Plant 155,000 – 156,000 – 149,000 -147,000 = 607,000
Basing on the closing share price on 21th Feb 2013 the market capitalisation of TWSP is Rm 4.42 X 529 million issued shares = Rm 2,338 million and Genting Plant is Rm 8.42X 759 million issued shares = Rm 6,390 million.
That is why the controlling shareholders want to buy up all TWSP shares that they do not own. Under the takeover code, they cannot do it because I have accumulated sufficient shares to block them.
If you decide to buy TWSP, I am not responsible for your profit or loss.

Icon8888. I will study your valuation method for plantation companies.
By looking at INNO, I guess you have spent much time to do the research for all plantation related counters. INNO used to in my watchlist but I missed the opportunity to pick up at price 1.2 .
2014-02-05 23:02
at very least supermax rolling 4q eps is 21c. there is nothing to shout about borrowings as it is integral part of every business, HOWEVER, when the level way surpass the earning continuously, that's when the bell start to ring.
some heard it some don't, nevermind, yr $ yr choice, it's juz a view here. who knows, sharky collected enough, this ctr still fried like nobody business.
2014-02-05 23:04
I also missed inno at 120 (actually it was 1.00 when I was hesitating). But I still think it is cheap now. So I bought at 156.

Don't under estimate the magic of El Niño. It is very powerful
WMO El Niño/La Niña Update
30 January 2014
Download pdf versions: English Français Español
Current Situation and Outlook
The tropical Pacific continues to be ENSO-neutral (neither El Niño nor La Niña). Model forecasts and expert opinion suggest that neutral conditions are likely to continue into the second quarter of 2014. Current model outlooks further suggest an enhanced possibility of the development of a weak El Niño around the middle of 2014, with approximately equal chances for neutral or weak El Niño. However, models tend to have reduced skill when forecasting through the March-May period. National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and other agencies will continue to monitor the conditions over the Pacific and assess the most likely state of the climate through the first half of 2014.
Since the second quarter of 2012 El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indicators in the tropical Pacific (e.g., tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures, sea level pressure, cloudiness and trade winds) have generally been at neutral levels, indicating that neither El Niño nor La Niña conditions have been present.
The latest outlooks from climate models and expert opinion suggest that oceanic conditions and atmospheric anomalies associated with El Niño or La Niña are most likely to remain neutral into the second quarter of 2014, with virtually all models maintaining average conditions. However, by around the middle of 2014, model forecasts generally indicate the chance of El Niño increasing to a similar level as that for ENSO-neutral. For the June to August period, nearly one-half of the models surveyed predict a weak El Niño situation to develop, while the other one-half predict a continuation of neutral conditions. It must be noted that model outlooks that span March-May period tend to have particularly lower skill than those made at other times of year. Hence some caution should be exercised when using long range outlooks made at this time for the middle of the year and beyond. Of the one or two models that predict the development of La Niña, such conditions are reached only briefly during the next couple of months.
Overall, while there is a very slight chance for La Niña development in the next one to two months, ENSO-neutral is considered the most likely scenario into to the April to June period, followed by roughly equal chances for neutral or weak El Niño during the third quarter of 2014.
It is important to note that El Niño and La Niña are not the only factors that drive global climate patterns. At the regional level, seasonal outlooks need to assess the relative impacts of both the El Niño/La Niña state and other locally relevant climate drivers. For example, the state of the Indian Ocean Dipole, or the Tropical Atlantic SST Dipole, may impact the climate in the adjacent land areas. Locally applicable information is available via regional/national seasonal climate outlooks, such as those produced by WMO Regional Climate Centres (RCCs), Regional Climate Outlook Forums (RCOFs) and National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs).
In summary:
ENSO conditions are currently neutral (neither El Niño nor La Niña);
As of mid-January 2014, except for a small possibility for weak and brief La Niña development during the next couple of months, outlooks indicate likely continuation of neutral conditions into the second quarter of 2014;
Current forecasts indicate approximately equal chances for neutral conditions or the development of a weak El Niño during the third quarter of 2014, reflecting increased chances for development of a weak El Niño.
The situation in the tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean will continue to be carefully monitored. More detailed interpretations of regional climate fluctuations will be generated routinely by the climate forecasting community over the coming months and will be made available through the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services.

Icon8888, your statement: " could it be because JT has bigger planted area (and as a result, more immatured palms) than TA, hence need to incur higher operating cost (fertiliser , etc) ? "
If you look at the accounting policy of Biological Assets, it seems that the all operating costs (fertilizer & etc) for Immature palm is capitalized as Biological Assets. Back to question again. Why Jtiasa make so less profit? Is it due to inefficiency of its operation?
" Plantation expenditure incurred on land clearing, upkeep of immature oil palms, administrative expenses and interest incurred during the pre-cropping period are capitalised under biological assets and are not amortised.
Upon maturity, all subsequent maintenance expenditure is charged to the statement of comprehensive income.
Replanting expenditure incurred on similar crops on formerly developed areas is chargeable to the profit or
loss in the financial year in which it is incurred. "

inefficiency could be a factor also. They spent past thirty years chopping down trees, now have to learn to plant trees.... maybe they are not used to it...ha ha ha

I would focus on the data below for making a comparison.
Business operation
1. Land bank ( evaluate the long term growth potential given available land resources )
2. Planted area. ( evaluate mid term growth )
3. Mature / immature area ( evaluate mid term growth )
4. FFB production / hectare ( evaluate short / mid term growth )
5. OER ( evaluate business operation efficiency )
Financial
1. PE
2. Gearing ( evaluate borrowing ability to fund mid term or long term growth )
3. Planted costs / hectare ( evaluate business operation efficiency )
4. Current financial performance

Laughnonstop. We are here just to give some comments based on the facts and figures. These input may not carry weight for their decision making. It's up to them to decide. People like to listen great growth story. People believed that one great supper investor were helping them to make money by driving the share price up. Our comments may not be relevant to them. Many did not know it is just half of the facts presented to them. It common to pay some tuition fee for learning an experience.

Readers would notice that optimus2 is trying to ridicule me. Why don't optimus2 tell us his real name instead of hiding behind the pseudonym so that we know how clever he is or how much money he has made from the stock market. If he has any intelligence, he should write his comment in proper English so that we can learn something from him. Unless he does that I can only say that he is just a big gas bag and have mud or air in his head.
I always welcome controversial view so that I can learn and appreciate others point of view.

Thumbs up to uncle Koon for sparing his time in doing the research of Jtiasa. Whether you agree with him or not is immaterial, rather we should appreciate him in sharing this info to the general public. It is not easy to write up such detailed information and analysis without certain knowledges and writing skills. Being the founder of IJM, Mr Koon certainly has the ability to do so. Thaning you and look forward to your future artticles on share investing.
