Dear friends of i3 Forum,
As the title implies
Three 2nd Liner Stocks mispriced & misplaced as penny stocks: BPLANT VERSUS JTIASA VERSUS THPLANT, Compare and contrast, Calvin Tan
We think after Bplant has gone up from 64 sen to Rm1.51 (at the privatisation offer of KLK at Rm1.55) and no longer a penny stock now; the next two laggards; namely JTIASA (83.5 sen) & Thplant (56 sen) now offer best value.
Why is it so?
Answer:
From historical experience in years 2015/6/7 when both Bplant & Thplant were traded between Rm1.10 to Rm1.20 & Jtiasa was the surprise that crossed Rm1.80 then
After that with Cpo fallen below Rm1,900 a ton all these three fell in tandem to the low of 30 sen to 50 sen only
And now Cpo has more than doubled to Rm3,900 all these are slowing climbing back up
For Bplant it was the added booster by KLK offering to take ir private at Rm1.55
If not Bplant would still languish below Rm1.00
Now KLK thinks Bplant is worth at least Rm,1.55 per share
How about Jtiasa & Thplant as they all three are quite similar
See
Bplant has over 220,000 acres of plantation lands
Jtiasa has 206,000 Palm oil lands
Thplant has over 240,000 acres of plantation lands
And on these lands are planted with Palm oil (their main operating income)
Now let us take a brief look at their last 4 months of FFB (fresh fruit bunches) production

Cal, have you compare their annual harvest? maybe different company harvest according different timing due to location difference,
2023-09-07 20:43
Ffb production follows a yearly cycle
Usually 2nd half of year when there is monsoon rain towards year end it will see more abundant harvest and in the early months of another new year there will be less fruit. As such all will rise or fall in tandem but overall yearly production should be still good as palm oil only need 1/7 of land space to grow compared to soybean and corn

Can you share the comparison of tree age between the 3 companies, and how replanting is manage? Would it be upon reaching prime the company will generate very low cash flow for at least few years?

These two years, the rainfall seems to be happening through out the year. (true for KL, not quite sure for Sarawak)

1) THPLANT
Due to obstruction by natives on native lands some are not planted. But these are now being slowly planted. However, in Sarawak Pan Borneo highway now passing by Serian and Tatau near Bintulu making these lands more valuable as developments than agriculture
2. Bplant
Bplant got lots of older maturing trees
Now KLK is invited to do replanting and improve production
3) JTIASA
The best of the three as its Trees are now at MOST FRUITFUL HEALTHY GROWTH STAGE
With 110,000 Tonnes per month it is chasing up SOP like a jumping tiger
That is why people are bullishly chasing up JTIASA
However, after BPLANT the next to see Privatisation could be THPLANT
SO STAY DIVERSIFIED IN INVESTMENTS BEST

@calvintaneng What cause Jayatiasa's Land value per HA or per planted Ha significant lower than TH, SOP, TSH?
Is it due to Jayatiasa didnt revalue the land? location of land or other reasons?
2023-09-22 09:07
calvintaneng
From here we see Bplant FFB increased by 11.2%, Thplant by 32.4% and Jtiasa is champion overall at 47%
And August & Sept 2023 FFB months are expected to be at fruitful season again
Happy Investing & Best Regards
