[Daily] Strategy of Lotte Chemical [011170], which has been pursuing earnings improvement through aggressive capex, is expected to be effective.

According to the industry on December 12, Lotte Chemical's capacity additions are expected to be boosted as the capacity additions are completed one after another from the second half of this year.

In particular, some investors in the financial investment industry are forecasting that annual sales of 1 trillion won (based on the elimination of self-consumption and current prices) will increase due to facility expansion.
 
Yunseongno Daishin Securities Research Institute, "Lotte Chemical (LC) Titan naphtha cracker (NCC) facility, acrylic butadiene Stevenage (ABS) Acrylonitrile Lotte advanced materials facility, LC Titan polypropylene (PP) plant, Yeosu NCC facilities scheduled for 2018 annual revenue is expected to increase only about 1 trillion won expansion plans, "he said.

First seems naphtha cracker (NCC) facility to build a Malaysian corporation 'LC Titans' Lotte Chemical has he continued to produce ethylene volume of rush in after completing the mechanical completion in the second half of the year running annual approximately 9 10 000 3000t contribute to improved performance .

ABS amenities Lotte advanced materials to produce downstream products is also expected gotta have completed the second half of the year. If the facility has entered the operation, it is expected to have annual sales of about 130 billion won increase as the volume of production per year 6 10 000 5000t.

Following the first half of next year and it is expected that the second half as 200,000 t of scale LC Titan PP plant, ethylene production capacity of 200,000 t plant in Yeosu NCC scale of construction is completed each be noticeable effect of the expansion of Lotte Chemical.

On the other hand, Lotte Chemical is also considering investment in crackers in high-tech chemical-specialized complexes to be built at Taesan Complex in Seosan-si, Chungcheongnam-do.

Last month, Lotte Group Chemical BU of Lotte Group participated in 'Industry, Trade, and Petrochemical Industry Meeting' held at Lotte World Tower Sigil Hotel in Seoul last month. As for investment in specialized complex, I can think about it, "he said." It's a big picture yet. "

LCTITAN is clearly trending up, on the way to be super stock. right or wrong , who care!

why hope? it is an inevitable certainty;and in 2 years time will be RM10.00 .

KLK spends 40 millians to expand oleochemicals (palmOil synthesied chemicals) manufacturing business.If Sop too goes in to oleochemical,the share price will will double in no time.

like the old people said,:slow and steady win the race.

just take few days , and had the technical problems solved , Koreans chemists are world class, and had proved their ability.

Pchem is no match to lctt, in innovation, and attempt to break new ground, korean chemical technological know how ,is definately more advanced then local bumi.

today holiday for old traditional chinese people --mid autumn holiday

China is implementing B5% biodiesel policy, by 2020 that policy will cover the whole country, the estimated figure ,that will consume ,around 9 millians tonnes of cpo .of course that may include other materials ,like biomass, corn etc, as raw materials, but among all these ,palm oil is most competative .With increase demand the future for palm oil definate positive , and not negative as being depicted.

hightech petrochemicals manufacturing company used to experience many problems,technological, enviromental ,etc. need careful researches and studies to overcome problems,once problems are being overcome, share price will rocket sky high.

don't be silly , stock investment is about future prospect, if only zero or negative gain ,better run quick,quick,

DON'T BE SILLY .David Stockman is a liar, a doom wisher.

Once $4 billion naphtha cracker plant in Indonesia is completed , LCTT will be very competative,then you will see the superb value.

don't be silly , this is SUPER STOCK by next year.

Are OPEC’s Hands Tied?

By Irina Slav - Sep 24, 2017, 10:00 AM CDT
OPEC
Brent is back above US$55 for the first time since February and WTI is hovering above US$50. The world should look like a better place for OPEC members and their partners who had to cut the economic equivalent of live flesh to make it happen. Yes, the latest global oil supply data has confirmed that the OPEC/non-OPEC Vienna Club has achieved its goal of cutting oil supply to more manageable levels. Yes, OPEC’s output has fallen markedly. But no, this won’t last long.

The IEA’s latest Oil Market Report found that global crude oil supplies had fallen by 720,000 bpd in August, not just as a result of deliberate cuts, but also thanks to outages and field maintenance—mostly in non-OPEC producers. The agency also noted oil production in OPEC fell in August for the first time since March, while compliance with the cut deal improved to 82 percent, making the overall for the year-to-date adherence 86 percent.

The Vienna Group’s compliance monitoring committee is meeting today to discuss the progress, and the oil ministers will probably have reason to pat each other on the back. They did it: oil supplies are down and prices are up. But that’s just for now, and on this point, analysts seem to be unanimous. Higher summer demand in the northern hemisphere had a part to play in the oil supply decline, and that part was no small one. Production outages, most notably in Libya, also helped to drive global supply down.

Now summer season is over and demand will start falling. While the situation in Libya remains unstable and no accurate predictions can be made about further disruptions in oil production there, U.S. shale producers may start adding rigs once again, after a month or so of slowing. Other non-OPEC producers, for example in the North Sea, are also eyeing higher production going forward, which, according to the IEA, is bad news for OPEC and its partners as this higher output will exceed the demand growth rate next year.

who care,any bias or unbias ,individual feeling is worthless , not interested.

to compare with UNITED MALACCA, let look at the total landbank and planted hectares.

UM total lankbank= 49,226 hectares,planted 32k , unplanted 15k,
SOP total landbank 120k ,planted hectares=87,744 hectares unplanted =30k

UM FFB monthly production =26,045 tonnes
SOP FFB monthly production =123,012 tonnes

and you can go with the rest, and you see the difference

as they said it wouldn't go much higher ! is this a problem
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CL=F?p=CL

this is a chemical technology stock, if you have knowledge and confidence in Korean chemical technology , and their capability of solving problems encounter the industry ,then you invest,if not, better stay sideline. I , for one think Korean chemistry and engineering technology standard, are reasonable advanced.

maybk projecst tp=4.90. luckpunting suggested figure. =6 rm and i believe the figure 6rm is realistic, provided kcpo price can maintain at or above 2700rm for long extended period of time, and thus the net annual profit can attain 300millians or above ..

Petrochemical plant, just see smoke and NO EXPLOSION, then can consider minor event, not serious.

rubbish talk

Harricane in Texas caused some disruption in crude oil supply,and related products,and it could take a month or two to get normalized.

choobee final has to adjust upward,to meet NTA at least

不这样搞，怎样会民怨沸腾。不过马国选民白痴多，几个糖果搞惦。不会出事的。

乐天决定撤出中国 引发韩企去中国化效应

乐天集团将撤出中国超市市场，转向东南亚发展。而作为韩企龙头之一的乐天这一走，引发了“去中国化”效应。

韩国News1通讯社9月15日报道，乐天集团将撤出中国超市市场，今后乐天将重点开拓印度尼西亚（简称印尼）、越南、印度等市场。特别值得一提的是印尼，是乐天集团海外第二大市场，仅次于占最大海外市场份额的中国（112家乐天超市），拥有45家乐天超市。

乐天集团一直以来以越南、俄罗斯、印度、中国、印尼为主要海外市场进行发展。但因为“萨德”（THAAD）重负让乐天不得不撤出中国，转向东南亚。

随之而来的是，韩国的面包业、七星饮料等的员工结构也在加速“去中国化”，韩国的在华营业、开店等也普遍受到限制，大部分韩企纷纷开始启动调整海外市场战略。

阿波罗网收集网友评论：

中国无数乐天的员工也下岗了。韩国也将报复抵制中国在韩国的生意。

外企全撤离中国，中国人日子会更苦。外企在中国其实是最按照规定纳税的，外企对雇员也比民企好。都走吧，让中国人的工作环境继续恶化下去。

not just pure plantations , SOP has a refinary, and some properties developement,should refer to latest annual report.

LCTT is one of the few first class fine tech stock available in BURSA,with many growth potentials,should buy and keep,for investment.

another one-mdb

closing price not that important, may be next week , price with move and trading above 4.00rm range, next target would be 4.50 rm

sure, no doubt about it.

KCPO price breaks RM 2800 today,and heading new seasonal high, as predicted earlier.Well RM3000, not too far away.If touches and all hell would breaks loose.

yea,those who get it for 6.50 , should do "averaging" , that is the right investment/trading startegy, unless you have utilized your fund in full with your portfolio.

if SOP full year profit can reach 300 millians ringgit, so 4.5--5.00 ringgit share value is fare, and reasonable.On top of these , the profit in the future years must also maintain at these levels and kcpo price could maintain and trading at 2700-3000 ringgit for longer term..

根本不会发生的事。为甚么继续被抄作。核战争，而不是一般传统战。战略家会非常非常慎重的。
现在，根本也不是到了非打不可的阶段。当然，猛烈口水战是避免不了的。北韩只是一个被利用的工具。真正对峙的是中国和美国的地域霸权争夺战。特别是南海的海上主导性的霸权。

most plantations make tonnes of money , why this tdm suffered losses, very incredible fishy.. must be another victim ,suffering from FGV virus infection.

cpo price up neary 40 ringgit today,to 2770 basis January 18, as there was talk that general production in Malaysia will be in decline as from end of October,then cpo price will climb even higher for last quarter of 2017, hopefully will reach 3000 rm psychology benchmark.

Diamonds will shine no matter wat has happened or what other says of it.

外媒8月25日消息，马来西亚和印尼将讨论向中国出口毛棕榈油的计划。
马来西亚种植园工业和商业部长Mah Kew Siong上日表示，两国将商讨向中国出口毛棕榈油的计划。
Mah Kew Siong表示，由于环保日益严格，中国关注生物柴油的进口。他并称，实施B5项目将带来巨大的棕榈油市场。
他指出，因此印尼和马来西亚应该为满足中国的需求而合作。他并称，马来西亚希望向其他国家扩张生物柴油市场，例如印度和菲律宾。
PT Asia Trade Point Futures的分析师Deddy Yusuf Siregar表示，中国的B5项目将带来新的棕榈油需求，每年总计为900万吨。这意味着中国将成为印尼出口的潜在市场。
Deddy称，中的B5项目将给棕榈油价格寻获长期支撑带来新的机会。他认为，在2017年棕榈油产量增长的预期下，市场参与者会一再地出售棕榈油。
在2016年厄尔尼诺现象影响过后，不远的将来棕榈油供应可能增加。“今年棕榈油价格大涨的机会被产量增加的预期破坏，”他说道。
今年，印尼棕榈油产量预计同比将增加12.69%至3,550万吨。而马来西亚新的棕榈油供应预计将同比增加10.17%至1,950万吨。
产量复苏的预期打压棕榈油价格，市场参与者仍冀望于望需求上升，这种预期来自于中国的B5项目。
