Plantatio counters have started recovering from their low but too early to have a bullish buy. They have recovered from their year low and not on a hot streak. Counters like Rsawit or TSH have not hit their year high despite CPO is on roll at their 4 year high { hitting above 3,300 per tonne} Rsawit trading at 29 sen {against their high of 48} TSH manged to close at 1.02 { still far below this year high of 1.54}
Yes same sentiment in March 2020 when Supermax fell to the low of Rm1.30
When wuhan virus started in Dec 2019 Supermax month high was Rm1.47
Those who bought Supermax at Rm1.47 and sold at cutloss price of Rm1.30 in March 2020 must have banged their head on the walls when Supermax reached Rm24.44 in less then 6 months
Same scene is now being played out in palm oil coming bull run
Many are still skeptical so we are very happy to take them while still cheap
Calvintaneng :agreed with your reasoning but the main issue lies with palm { CPO } itself. It's not a price maker but it tends to correlate closely with SBO and other competing soft oils. Demand is seasonal and with Brent crude { Gas oil spread } trading at a big discount. Demand for biofuel will not be robust. Not viable to sustain the used of palm biofuel in the long run. Nevertheless with the El nino or La nina production of palm may be affected. China and India holds the key. Hopefully, we can see better days and higher prices in the coming 3-4 months.
First i must correct my statement Palm oil harvest is 26 times a year (not 26 months)
And regarding Fgv and Sop yes both are good now
Sop is very popular with funds and investors. So its prices are stable. Fgv has gone through a very rough time. In fact i once branded FGV as "Fraud Governed Victim)
Since i like to buy bargains i prefer Fgv now due to its bombed out price from listing of almost Rm6.00
Like Sop.... Fgv top 30 shareholders are 100 per cent Local Funds and Foreign Funds owned. Amanah Saham Bumi also inside
It is no wonder then the Govt budget allocates Rm400 millions to help Felda relieves loan interest. Plus incentive for rubber and palm oil will also help
So Fgv being the palm oil stock specially mentioned by name is now the Top Buy
Not only Fgv only all other palm oil stocks will go up due to Cpo price rise.
The performance depends on two things
1. Its exposure to palm oil upstream Among them are Rsawit (100 per cent pure palm oil) jtiasa (more palm oil less lumber), in contrast Wtk has more lumber less palm oil except Wtk has better net cash.
2. Its geographical location Jtiasa has all its palm oil in Sarawak while Tsh has operation in Indonesia Since Malaysia offers tax free incentive while Indonesia impose tax on palm oil Jtiasa is better than Tsh anytime
Rsawit ,Jtiasa , Tsh , TDM , FGV are all bomb out counters and pure upstream players. Tsh is one of the more efficient private owned producers {estate's landbank and mill's locality } is a plus point. their Mill's electrical power energy production tie up with TNB electric grid is a added upside advantage. just my own personal take & observation
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
