Dear friends of i3 Forum,
Everyday I read Singapore News First since I live in Singapore. After that I will read Malaysian & Foreign News
One thing greatly surprised me is WHY SINGAPORE ANALYSTS ARE MORE BULLISH IN PALM OIL THAN IN MALAYSIA?
Singapore is so bullish on Palm oil when it does not even have a single Oil Palm Estates while Malaysia is the 2nd Largest Producer of Palm oil in the World?
See these News from Singapore
With minimal earnings downside risk, Wilmar International deserves to trade at a premium to its plantation peers’ PE multiples, says DBS Group Research analyst William Simadiputra.
In his March 21 report, Simadiputra says Wilmar’s packaged consumer products’ margins and earnings can help to buffer its earnings performance when commodity prices reverse.
“The consumer downstream business should continue to bear good margins and ROE in the future, especially when Wilmar’s consumer products division’s performance recovers from higher cost pressure via efficiencies or price hikes,” says Simadiputra.
DBS Group Research analyst William Simadiputra is keeping his “buy” call on Bumitama Agri Limited (BAL) with a higher target price of $1 from 75 cents previously as he sees the company’s strong earnings trend continuing in FY2022.
Furthermore, the counter is currently trading at an undemanding FY2022 P/E of 7.8x, which is well below its average P/E multiple of 9.7x.
“We believe BAL’s positive 2022 earnings prospects are not priced in yet, as it is still trading at a single-digit P/E multiple,” writes the analyst in his March 21 report.
CALVIN COMMENTS
I OWN BOTH WILMAR, BUMITAMA (IOI CORP IS IN TOP 30 OF BUMITAMA WITH 31.4%) & GOLDENAGRI SHARES OF SINGAPORE
I HAVE FOLLOWED THEM OVER A YEAR PERIOD. INDONESIA WITH ALL ITS HIGH LEVY, TAXES & RECENT CURB OF EXPORT FOR DOMESTIC USE THESE PALM OIL COMPANIES ARE JUST OK
BUT CALVIN SEES MALAYSIAN PALM OIL COMPANIES HAVE FAR BETTER EARNING PROSPECTS AND LOWER P/E
THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
1) EPF HAS BEEN SELLING PALM OIL SHARES ACROSS THE BOARD - A REAL MYSTERY. IF EPF NEEDS MONEY IT SHOULD JUST SELL OTHERS AND NOT PALM OIL SHARES. WHY EPF SOLD PALM OIL LIKE KLK, IOI CORP , SIMEPLANT, HS PLANT, UNITED PLANT AND ALL THE OTHER PALM OIL SHARES THEN BUY INARI, YTL-POWER AND OTHERS WITH LESS GOOD PROSPECTS?
THIS IS VERY UNFORTUNATE AS IF MALAYSIA IS ASHAMED OF ITS PALM OIL INDUSTRY
2) IB BANKERS ISSUED TOO MANY PALM OIL CALL WARRANTS TO BET AGAINST PALM OIL
SEE
KLK-C11 | 2021-10-21 | 2022-05-31 | 23.00 | 0.145 | 20 : 1 | 0.40 (1.56%) | 8.793 |

KLK-C15 | 2022-03-10 | 2022-11-24 | 27.00 | 0.15 | 25:1 | 5.25 (20.58%) |
THESE DERAVATIVES ARE CALL WARRANTS ISSUED {NOT BY KLK CO) BY IB BANKERS TO BET AGAINST THE RISE OF KLK.
THAT IS WHY THEY ONLY GIVE "NEUTRAL CALL" AND SOME EVEN "UNDERWEIGHT" PALM OIL TO CAUSE PEOPLE NOT TO BID UP KLK SHARE PRICES. WORST THEY EVEN SHORT SELL KLK IN THE HOPE THAT KLK PRICES COULD BE SUPRESSED AND CALL WARRANT HOLDERS OF KLK WILL LOSE ALL THEIR MONIES ON EXPIRY
THIS IS A DISTORTION OF PRICES BY MANIPULATION
ALSO NON OF THEIR NEWS LETTERS (THOSE WHO ISSUED CALL WARRANTS AGAINST PALM OIL) TELL THEIR CLIENTS TO INVEST IN PALM OIL SHARES SINCE THEY HAVE "VESTED INTEREST AGAINST PALM OIL"
3) MEDIA
THE ,MALAYSIA MEDIA INSTEAD OF INTERVIEWING PALM OIL CO (OVER 40 LISTED CO) PAID LITTLE ATTENTION TO PALM OIL BULL RUN
HEADLINES LIKE
"PALM OIL FUTURES EXPECTED TO GO DOWN NEXT WEEK"
"MISTRY HAS SAID CPO PRICES WILL FALL DOWN BACK TO RM4,000"
AND OTHER SUCH USELESS AND HARMFUL NEWS FOR PALM OIL INVESTORS
SO THIS HAS CAUSED MANY TO MISS THE "ONCE A CENTURY PALM OIL SUPER BULL RUN"
WARMEST REGARDS
Calvin Tan
Please buy or sell after doing your own due diligence or consult your Remisier/Fund manager
Note:
We bought Golden agri at 14 sen and now up by over 100%
SEE
We also bought BUMITAMA at 46 SEN
NOW UP 65%
SINCE IOI CORP OWNS 31.4% OF BUMITAMA IT SHOULD BENEFIT AS WELL
BUT WHY THE SELL DOWN OF IOI CORP IN MALAYSIA?
SO?
SO IOI CORP NOW SOLD DOWN IS A BUYING OPPORTUNITY
HOWARD MARKS WHEN HE FIRST STARTED INVESTING THROUGH HIS OAKTREE INVESMENT SAW "FUNDS" SELLING HUGE POSITIONS
SO HE BOUGHT & BOUGHT WHILE FUNDS UNLOADED
ONE DAY HOWARD MARKS BECAME A BILLIONAIRE
THERE IS NO BETTER BUY ON EARTH NOW THAN PALM OIL
FOREIGN FUNDS ARE NOW IN MALAYSIA BUYING UP PALM OIL SHARES

NET PROFIT DEPENDS ON EACH INDIVIDUAL PALM OIL COMPANY PERFORMANCE
WITH SUNFLOWER OIL RUNNING OUT FROM UKRAINE, CANOLA OIL ALSO NOT MUCH STOCK, LA NINA IMPACTED SOYOIL FROM SOUTH AMERICA IT IS HIGHLY POSSIBLE THAT CPO PRICES CAN REACH RM8,000 OR HIGHER FOR A PRO-LONGED PERIOD TILL END 2023

singaore analyst only bullish on SGX listed world biggest Indo palm plantation
2022-03-26 13:49
Why?
Singapore listed Palm oil companies have operations in Kalimantan, Sumatra, Riau Islands and In Nigeria
There are lots of restrictions like high levy, high taxes and export curb for domestic use.
inspire of so many handicaps they thrived and share prices still bullish
Why then Malaysia with better fundamental and prospects are so neglected
Is the a misplacement of value and great mispricing?
So much so that FOREIGN FUNDS ARE GOBBLING UP MALAYSIAN PALM OIL SHARES ON CHEAP SALE?
2022-03-26 13:59
Inspite of so many disadvantages Spore palm oil shares in bull run
Singapore analysts are bullish on palm oil
Malaysian investors better wake up and don't miss the palm oil Superbull
Singapore is ahead of it's time and See Clearer with Sharp Vision
So we should not miss the Once a Century Palm oil Superbull run
2022-03-26 14:02
it is wrong to say malaysian investors are not bullish on plantation stocks, but many prefered to buy lower priced companies ,like fgv, jtiasa,sime plant , boustead plant etc, even TDM. for example among these people is kyy. But alas, kyy listed those low priceD stocks ,But we see these to be mismanaged ,and give low monthly FFB ,cpo production. Still may be , If lower risk ,while luckier and can be more profitable.
2022-03-26 14:10
Smartly
goldenagri can be like Bplant, Thplant and Jtiasa expected to reach peak bull at Rm3.00
if Rm3.00 it would mean goldenagri will reach S$1.00
Not immediately of course.
It will take time
and time is the investor's best friend in a bull uptrend

The Media will do highlight on Palm oil every day
Why analysts & media so quiet?

they see many trees, so can't see the woods. other reason could be the war between ukrain/russia could keep investors wary.
2022-03-26 15:23
Uncle @calvintaneng, since you asked why, let me give my humble opinion.
1.Palm oil retails very much control in Malaysia as the price can be as low as RM2.50 for a packet of 1 litre. CSR, how to make money?
2. Land is still cheap in the outskirts of Cities, especially agricultural land.
3. Labours are still an issue for plantation, one of the reasons for shifting investment to our neighbouring countries.
4. Palm oil output cannot be increased so easily as tree maturity takes time.
5. Palm oil (margarine) is an alternative to Butter or other products due to pricing. If pricing is the same, there is no more an advantage..
I am NOT against Palm oil as there are many more advantageous which I am not discounting, you have my support.
Thankyou for your efforts..

Who is actually subsidized retail cooking oil and your pump price at petrol station for diesel and petrol?
2022-03-26 16:36
Bro calvin, u are indeed passionate in research palm oil industry & writing good info on palm oil, better than those lousy IB analysts & media. You are 'Guru of Palm Oil'. Keep it up the good work! I agreed with u that Palm Oil Super-Bull-Run 2022-2023 [CPO 6,000-8,000 or more]. I believe this round Palm Oil Super-Bull-Run will create many millionaires...[For those retailers whom can foresee & expecting palm oil stocks rise 100%-500% or even more}
2022-03-26 18:00
O SSLee our friend works as an engineering Chemist in an oil palm company in Indonesia
So he is an authority on palm oil and has given us lots of knowledge about the downstream products of palm oil
SSLee also bought big in Bplant due to its freehold lands and high dividend yield
As to Petrol and one litre Cooking oil sold at Rm2.50 in Malaysia they are subsidised by the Malaysian Govt from taxes collected to help elevate high prices
Cooking oil at Rm2.50 is now far below cost of production as Cpo now Rm6500 per ton
That means Rm6.50 per kg
After refining
Cost of transport
Packaging
Wholesaler profit 3% to 4%
Retailer profit 6% to 7%
Real retail value should be above Rm7.00 per kg or more
So after old stocks are cleared we can expect 5kg cooking oil to retail no less than Rm35 or more to be profitable
2022-03-26 20:49
Malaysia Govt is helping it's citizens by subsiding Ron95 petrol and Cooking oil in plastic packaging 1 litre at Rm2.50 to help her citizens
This really help relieve the people from such high cost of living
2022-03-26 20:52
to correct misinformation, Malaysian government no longer subsidize cooking oil price for domestic market, about one year ago.
2022-03-26 22:08
"The increase in oil prices also boosted palm oil prices, but the government is still providing subsidised one-kilogramme packs of palm oil at the retail price of RM2.50 per pack, although according to the current market price, it is worth closer to RM10,” Johan said

Hi Uncle @calvintaneng, just balance the view and answering @Sslee question. As Malaysian, I am happy both O&G and Palm Oil doing well..Regards
2022-03-26 22:22
Just bought 5kg cooking oil at RM29 last week. I was reading somewhere gov was controlling the cooking oil price until March and will give new price later. I am pretty sure gov was subsidising the cooking oil price.
2022-03-26 22:24
Here's the link, gov was subsidising the cooking oil until March'22

This is the answer by Bernama
KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 (Bernama) -- The government will continue to protect the people from the impacts of a sharp rise in inflation by continuing to provide subsidies despite rising global oil prices resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war.
National Budget Office director Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican said this was the government's commitment which also took into account the fact that the country is still in the early stages of recovery from COVID-19’s impact.
“The government is maintaining the current subsidy policy to protect the people from price increases and disruptions to the food supply chain, even though the cost for the subsidies has increased considerably,” he said.
Johan said this on Bernama TV’s Ruang Bicara programme titled ‘JaminKerja and Semarak Niaga for Keluarga Malaysia’ aired last night.
He said the unrest between Russia and Ukraine saw oil prices spiking to more than US$100 per barrel, while Budget 2022 prepared by the government was based on the projected or assumed oil price of US$67 per barrel.
He added that currently, Malaysians can still enjoy the RON95 oil price of RM2.05 per litre, which is one of the lowest prices compared to oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia as well as neighbouring countries.
Without the subsidy, the oil price is already touching RM4 per litre.
"The increase in oil prices also boosted palm oil prices, but the government is still providing subsidised one-kilogramme packs of palm oil at the retail price of RM2.50 per pack, although according to the current market price, it is worth closer to RM10,” Johan said.
Apart from that, he said the government had also maintained the price subsidy for chicken and eggs at the cost of more than RM500 million for a period of four months to stabilise prices, thus controlling the inflation rate.
Meanwhile, Johan said the government is confident that it will be able to achieve the projected gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of 5.5-6.5 per cent as well as create 600,000 jobs through the JaminKerja initiative this year.
He pointed out that last year, 560,000 jobs were created despite the high number of COVID-19 cases and fatalities.
He noted that the unemployment rate had dropped to 4.2 per cent in January 2022 from 5.3 percent in May 2020, a positive indicator all around.
Johan also lauded the Short-Term Employment (MySTEP) programme which provides training and placement in the public sector and government-linked companies (GLCs), saying that the programme provides meaningful work experience and improve employees' skills, helping them to land a job once the contract expires.
“Although employment in this programme is temporary or contract-based, it allows graduates, school leavers and the lesser-abled to earn higher salaries in subsequent jobs because they already have experience with reputable companies or organisations," he said.
The RM1.8 billion MySTEP programme initiative offers 80,000 contract employment opportunities -- 50,000 in the public sector and 30,000 in GLCs and their strategic partners.
Johan also said that with the country entering the transition to the endemic phase on April 1, all economic sectors, including the tourism sector, will be able to boost their business activities with help from the government through the various aid facilities.

Correction: 1 Kg polybag of Palm oil subsidies priced at RM2.50, not 1 litre. Usually control per purchase of only 3 bags. During last CNY, very difficult to find even 1 bag..no plan to stop this subsidies as reported.
2022-03-26 22:35
Dbs Spore gave a target price for bumitama at Rm1.00
earlier Rhb gave Bumitama a target price of 90 sen
2022-03-26 23:16
Target prices are only imaginary goal posts
In year 2020 early in the glove bull I set Target price for Supermax at Rm3.00(bought at Rm1.73)
Later changed to Rm4
Then Rm6
Then Rm10
After that all targets broken and Supermax shot up to Rm24.44 peak cycle
So this round if palm oil goes in tandem with sunflower, canola and soyoil plus it's biodisel goes up with surging crude oil prices there is also no telling or forrcasting how high all palm oil shares will eventually rise to

-----------------------------
this is fake or outdated news . Local market is sell cooking oil at 30 ringgit per 5 kilo pack. so call 10 rm per 5 kilo pack was ancient history.

Below should be latest info:
On July 27, the government set the maximum retail price for pure palm cooking oil in bottled packaging effective August 1, with a guarantee that consumers will get cooking oil below RM30 for a five kilogramme (kg) bottle.
The maximum price of a 5kg pure cooking palm oil is RM29.70; 1kg bottle (RM6.70); 2kg bottle (RM12.70); and 3kg bottle (RM18.70)

nobody invest how the share going up? most investor now put money in tech and oil stock
2022-03-27 01:11
Nobody invest does not matter
We can just continue to buy more while still cheap
2022-03-27 21:17
Very happy morning
Jan to March almost up and Cpo stayed firm above Rm6500
These 3 months though Ffb harvest maybe lesser but the exceptional price surge more will still make the bottom line excellent in May 2022 results
Few more days will come April and the next 3 months ahead will be reported in August 2022 results
Looks like times are getting better and better every succeeding quarter and quarter for this Palm oil Bull run time
SO WE WILL STAY THE COURSE!

DBS bank is the analyst
The biggest bank in Singapore
And Singapore is among the top financial centers on earth
2022-03-28 13:57
DBS and Spore analysts are more careful and strong just like the Singapore Dollar is strong
2022-03-28 16:09
You mean as careful as Nick Leeson's case who brought down Barings Bank while in Singapore?
2022-03-28 22:33
Nothing to do with Singapore DBS as Nick Leeson gambled with Nikkei & went bankrupt
Singapore jailed him
