JT's cpo production for Jan & Feb is relatively lower compared to the last Q but the average cpo price is signficantly higher.. Wonder how they play out for profits for this quarter endin 31 Mar..Those who have reported lower profits could have been impacted by lower cpo prices of their latest quarter...Note that companies' quarterly reports need not cover identical time periods.. Just a view

Jenine own roughly 7% of Jtiasa..close to 70m shares compared to about 968m of total shares..They are foreign investors..so their disinvestment could be for a variety reasons..relocating their assets, taking advantage of currency changes or simply to sell down to buy back later..which our local institutional investors do so often...

3 major shareholders appears to be selling... all of them in equal amounts - one each from HK, China and Spore.. What they appear to have sold is relatively small ..to what they are now holding.. No idea to what level the price would go to....in the near term

Took a casual at JT's b/s...Despite paying off a 78m loan and an aquisition of 52m and interest pmt of 10m, its end of yr cash improved from 167.8m to 264m, total loans and liabilities improved from 497m to 477m and tot equity improved from1377.8m to 1510.5m.. Tot cpo output have declined quite a bit this quarter but average selling has gone up... I may be wrong in my assessment...but things looks ok to me over the mid to log term..to hold

By " CPO output" I meant the whole thing.....FFB, CPO & palm kennels

Those who are not out for a fast buck, Inno is not all that bad with CPO prices above RM4000..a 3 sen dividend in the pipeline & 80% dividend payout.. Though reported CPO output has been slightly lower, the average CPO prices seems to be better this 1st Q 2024.. Dividend being paid every quarter, the next one is just a couple of months away..But with a very small free float, trading in the stock may not be that exciting generally speaking.....in my view

Thanks Calvin for the very interesting/informative overview of the palm oil industry. I roughly guessed that that many plantation companies will be reporting lower profits in 4th Q...due to lower cpo prices in 4th Q & possibly due to the minimum wage issue.. But their profits are not all that bad if we look at them on a eps/pe, nta basis relative to other industries.., many of which are showing losses.. I think cpo prices so far for 1st Q seemed to have improved a bit..with another month to go..

Agree that Sg Wang & The Mines looks like dragging down its performance.. My "close RM1.00 NTA" is based on the reit's quarterly report and a casual look at its balance sheet.. My thanks to beyond 4896 for the insightful asessment of the reit's outlook..

In Calvin's defence, I refer to his posts uite often ..as they are laden with details/facts that I can analyse..His type of posts should be encouraged ..Ultimately, we have to use our own minds to make decisions and not blame others for losses or whatever.. Good to see constructive arguments, insights and views ..rather than outbursts of anger/hate/ frustrations/dissapointments...

It gives out dividend every quarter if I am not mistaken..If I am right we can expect a dividend for 4th Q 2023...soon

If not mistaken, there was a statement that the bank would give out more than 5% dividend for 2023.. Assuming that it just gives out only 5% and 4Q eps is just 8 sen (less that the first 3 quarters), its second dividend should be 7.9 sen..

I feel the stock is fairly a good one to hold...due to its strong balanced sheet, diversified product range (in terms of industries they serve), diversified markets and quarterly dividend payouts.. . Its profits spiked in the last quarter...when most small companies were reporting lower profits or losses.. It may face a bit of higher material prices in the 4thQ, but there are many factors going in its favour..It may not spike again soon...but in a safe stock to hold in times of uncertainity in my view...just speculating...

I feel today's leaders in AMNO should not be blamed completely ...for creating "a devil" of DAP.. The party should infact be praised... for its "sacrifices" when the country badly needed parties to come together to safe the day.. I hope the author is not praising the parties that refused to do so......A lot of factors could have contributed to why AMMO did not do as well as expected...The DAP may not be the only reason...as it may not even be a very significant one.. Time is still in the hands of the Govt and AMNO...as it is still in power...It is not neccesary to play the blame game now... as whatever is being said has been overtaken by events...

I feel in a democratic country we should not overly "demonize" the political choices of certain groups.. The challengue is to convince and win them over... The PM has been in office for less than a year..and being new, I am sure the govt would have taken time to settle in as well. Let us see what he can do... Let us also not overlook the fact the voter turnout was low..So the people who actually voted relative to the population must be very low.... especially in the PN states...Another point, the combined population of the three PH won states is roughly 10.2 mil while that of the other three is 5.25 mil...Selangor alone has a population of roughly 7.21 mil....Do you see the diparity and the difficulty in making comparisons?

I feel that argument that voting went on racial lines need to analysised in detail..Let us not overlook the fact that the population of just selangor is much, much more than the population of the 3 states that PN had won combined..... If you look at the population make-up, you will be surprised to note that most of the state constituencies in Selangor has a majority malay population. In NS, almost all the constituencies have a Malay majority. Even in Penang, there are a few constituencies with majority Malay population. The point is unless we know how the voting went through out the six states, it may not be statistically proper to make sweeping statements of how a particular community voted. My own gut feeling is there are differences in perception towards the govt based on regions and political/religious influence with states. A factor in the PM's favour he is very new in office and the impact of his policies may take some time to seriously impact the voting pattern.. We have to wait and see..

We should be able to distinguish between the people and the goverment.. In Malaysia which is a democracy, we see and judge the performance of the govt and its leaders..quite easily though our observation and from the news and social media.. In some countries, what is allowed to be reported or made known to the world ...are just the good things...Whatever is bad or unpleasant are not allowed to be reported...Even if some accidentally find their way into social media are quickly taken down... Nobody knows for sure ...what is actually happening ...in authoritaran regimes...besides what is reported or promoted...

I feel BRIGS talks about dumping the USD is more hype that actual action. There are already problems for Russia for its trade with India..as it does not know to do with all the ruppees it is accumulating. Similar problems is bound to occur beteween other countries too.. In any case , the USD will be used as the benchmark to determine the transactions values between the other currencies... And let us not forget that none of the currencies has widespead international acceptance ... that comes from having freely tradeable currency, an open economy and people's trust

Things looks good on paper..but the problem will be with its implementation..The yuan is a controlled currency ... meaning the govt will keep a stong lid on it..and not allow it to be traded freely... Secondly there is also the issue of trust...two of the members can be considered as permanent enemies...and all players would be be watching their back.. Almost 58% af all reserve currencies are still in USD...The use of the member states currencies as recerve currency .. is miniscule..very tiny

It is already more than 2 months into the last quarter..and the average CPO price appears to be quite similar to Q3.. so my guess is, we could expect a similar results in Q4...meaning the dividend could be the same, ie. 3 sen or may be slightly lower.. The thing to watch is the CPO price trend..

I feel KYY should be fair when downplaying the USA.. Dont forget that PRC is about 4.2 times the size of the US in terms of population...so it does have some advantages when calculating the gdp and market size.....What should really matters is the per capita income ..for which the US ranks 8 while the PRC ranks 64. It is great that PRC is progressing well..but i feel it has nothing geat to gloat about.. It has played the role of a low cost producer of american, japanese and korean products ..but the companies from these countries are moving out...While i understand KYY's sentiments, I see not see why it has to be done at the expense of the US..which we all know is way ahead on many issues that matters to ordinary citizens..Going ahead of oneself..could cause one to fall flat on the face..like what happened on all the hype on vaccines

Based on 2021 data USA is list 7 and China is 77 interms of per capita income. In terms of population, China is 4.2 times the size of the US.. so even if their GDP even up,the US will still be far ahead in terms of prosperity of its people... If we look around us, literally everything we consume, treat ourselves, enjoy, transact with etc comes from the USA.. Infact we now live in a civilization created by them..And their biggest invention is the USD which increases in value as troubles in the world increases. The reason is simple people trust the Americans more that anyone else
