Totally agreed with the apt description "planting trees on a gold mine". time to unlock value of plantation due to scarcity of lands, food security, etc.

Selling of Guocera would unlock substantial value to us shareholders

Its been 2 years since i bought UP. My cost back then was RM13.90 and i have collected RM2.20 dividends to date. Next month will collect RM1. My effective holding cost (ex dividends) would be RM10.70. If UP can provide conservatively 80sen DPS, my holding cost would become zero/ free shares in 13 years time or 70sen DPS in 15 years time. Conservative investors sleep well.

actually management did hint of special dividend in q4. weigh your own decision wisely. full year target 13k units...back log already comprises 50% of it

Dialog benefits from these projects because of its port, jetty and port-side tank storage
facilities at its Pengerang Deepwater Terminal (PDT), the gateway through which refineries
import feedstock and downstream products are exported. Dialog charges fees for the use
of the jetty facilities and also builds, operates and leases tank terminals at the PDT to its
industrial customers on a take-or-pay basis over a minimum period of 10 years, or up to
25 years in the case of tanks built specifically for RAPID. Dialog has ample space at Phase
3 of its PDT, which can more than accommodate new tankage facilities for both Rongsheng
and ChemOne, in our view. We do not expect Rongsheng or ChemOne to build new port
facilities, as Dialog has already built competitive port infrastructure.

The stock market could get volatile, but while it does, companies returning large sums of cash to shareholders can pad investors’ returns.

The newest risk is that the current banking problems will reduce bank lending and lead to a slowing economy.

That makes owning shares in companies that are returning a lot of cash to investors attractive. While the price of many stocks whipsaw up and down, owning cash-returning companies can allow an investor to be less sensitive to the price. Dividends allow for some yield relative to the price paid for a stock.

Erm...FPSO orderbook of RM97.3 billion

three quarters already 11 sen dividends. $$$$

A fact well known many many years ago.

Cash rich & veli undervalue stock mah!

With the world’s population crossing the eight billion mark, the demand for palm oil for edible usage remains firm and growing in markets like India, China, Bangladesh, Turkey and the MPOB is strengthening its research and development activities to increase the usage of palm oil for the production of high value-added products for the export markets.

Going forward, there are nevertheless 4 factors which must be monitored closely as the development of these will have an impact on the supply and demand fundamentals and thereby price developments going forward. Firstly, the wet weather conditions towards the end of last year together with the resumption of guest worker inflow to Malaysia is expected to help increase palm oil production in 2023 as the nationwide field losses experienced during 2022 will be minimised.In Indonesia production is poised to increase more strongly in 2023 than in 2022 subject to weather patterns normalising. Secondly, the world production of biodiesel including HVO is estimated to further increase by 9% to reach 55.9 million MT in 2023 from the all-time record level of in 2022 of 51.3Million MT. This was and will continue to be propelled by fiscal incentives in the US as well as rising decarbonisation targets in the EU transport sector. In addition, the Indonesian Government’s drive to increase their domestic palm oil consumption through not only food and oleochemical uses but evermore so through the Government supported biodiesel programme compelling all diesel to contain an admixture of up to 35% of palm oil from 1 February 2023 is expected to increase the current usage by 1.3 million MT during the year. Thirdly, the global economic growth sentiments for 2023 are largely negative due to the higher interest rate levels imposed by major central banks to curb inflation, coupled with Russia´s invasion of Ukraine causing much volatility in supply chains around the world. This is expected to dampen demand for vegetable oils from key buying nations. Finally, weather developments will continue to play an important role for production and price directions and must be closely monitored. Whilst the La-Nina has brought dry weather to particularly Argentina and caused a downward revision in the coming soybean crop harvest, the overall South America production is expected to increase to well-above 2022 levels due to larger planting intentions and the recent favourable weather. This is likely to replenish global stocks.

I would suggest management to stop wasting cash to buy back shares

better distribute cash dividends to shareholders instead as there are better options to deploy capital than increased their pie in the company

Share price weakened due to appreciation of yen against ringgit. over-reaction in my view

From Maybank IB report, consensus net profit for both FY2023 & 2024 is RM6.2bil

Earnings may have peaked in 2021-2022. But PCHEM is still expected to make at least 6billion profit per year which you are paying only paying 11-12x

At least 1.20 which is their stake in RHB. Everything under the sun is essentially free.

When it was 1.50, nobody wants this stock

I love Mazda!

Quarter not bad. 3.5 sen dividend

Continue to hold this cash cow

Expect to receive 90sen final dividend

Took profit today. Managed to bought at 1.72 low.

Hope Mr.Market presents the same opportunities again.
