Full year EPS may exceed 70 sen. PE will be below 5x based on yesterday’s closing price . Assuming another 20 sen final dividend, full year dividend will be 50 sen or dividend yield of 15.6% based on yesterday’s price . Unbelievable!

@Asia88, Taann is predominately oil palm plantation company with some timber business too.
It is OK to draw comparison between Bplant and Taann , but must use the right parameters . Compare PE instead of just the price or EPS, compare dividend yield (%) instead of just dividend amount, etc

land is like any commodity, its price largely depend on demand and supply. Singapore being a ‘red dot’ country has very very limited land resources. As such land price in spore can go bizarre , but not in Malaysia.
For plantation lands there is always recently transacted price as the basis for us to work on . Same apply to plantation land with development value .

The whole Malaysian stock market is bearish anyway. The buying supports from retail and foreign is simply too weak to absorb local institutions nonstop selling. That explain why many companies reporting good earnings cannot spark share price rally . It’s not about bearish mode for plantations in particular, it’s about the whole market. The strong fundamentals of plantation cannot be denied.

@aliyusof, Surin’s ‘ more intimate touch’ on MPHB yet to create some spark after so long . The irony is a 18.4% maiden touch on Transocean enough to create euphoria and drove its share price to $3.75 which is a 330% ytd gains. It’s more insulting if you look into Transocean’s financial.
Per 31/6/21 qtr report, Transocean has the following numbers:
Revenue 1H 21. $9.3 m
Profit 1 H 21. $117k
EPS 0.26 sen
NA. $0.81

Shareholders’’ equity $38.3 m
Mkt capitalization based on today’s price $$169 m ( which is 4.4 times of shareholders equity)

Hope there will be similar euphoria once insurance sales is completed and/or new high impact business announced and/or a generous dividend is announced and/or privatization.

Both Public Investment and CGS-CIMB set a "neutral" call on the plantation sector.

Maybank Kim Eng, however, set a "positive" call on the sector.

"CPO price will stay relatively lofty till the first quarter of 2022 on supply concerns as the industry is likely to enter into low production cycle for the next three months.

"Given better-than-expected CPO average selling price (ASP) in recent months, we now raise our 2021 CPO ASP forecast to RM4,300 per tonne (from RM3,500 per tonne), and 2022 ASP to RM3,200 per tonne (from RM2,800 per tonne)," Maybank Kim Eng said in a note on Thursday.
