Cost of cpo production can no longer maintain at rm1600 per ton because of high fertilizer price and minimum wage. But then the increase of cost is still no way match the increase of cpo price. So even if production cost raises to rm2000 per ton, Palm oils company still can generate huge profit that no one ever seen before.
It is a no brainer to buy palm oil stock that has plenty of lands to hedge against inflation, somemore these lands able to generate huge cash flow.
Noticed Cepat and MHC Plantation is not mentioned. Also curious as to how Plantation Companies are taxed - Excess profit Tax when CPO price over Rm3500? Windfall Tax when annual profit above RM 100 million, and normal Tax of 24 % on Net Profit.
Should change 'M.Cap/Ha' to '(M.Cap+T.Debt-C.Asset)/Ha'. If your dun know the management very well, dun buy those small companies that pay very little dividend.
calvin tan koresh, you are really a thick skinned arrogant c.... Who made u god to decide what is right or wrong? u think u god ah? u make money no need to brag. Other people got their point of views...not for u to judge and say who is right or wrong.
I think Calvin meant Utd Plt estates in TI are peat soil and no good for housing development ;not that they are no good for oil palm (or coconut). Utd Plt manage their estates efficiently and treat their workers very well. Their little bakery selling delicious bread and bakery products at TI estate is a must visit every time I pass by that area.
No doubt the CPO price now will bring windfall to all oil palm plantation owners, big or small, but the cost of production had also gone way up. Cost at RM1600 was way back at least 10 years ago, even in those days it can be up to Rm2300 for the less efficient producers. Do not go into just any oil palm company blindly.. try to understand their management properly. Few points all of us must take note: 1. Does the company shares their bumper profit with their share holders.. do they have the nasty attitude of socialise when losing and privatise when making.. such companies are only for punters.. hit and run. 2. With such unprecedented price, a lot of big players are selling forward since the CPO was at around RM4000.. these big players seldom tell share holders how much of their stock(future) already committed at much lower price.. especially those developing ones, they care about stability and commitment for debt and full development of their land. 3. Even worse if company sold forward but a huge percentage of their FFB is not their own but small holders in their vicinity. These small holders will be given average 'spot price' on the month they deliver.. with price going up, these companies(taking outside FFB) will lose money. Generally, this is reflected in their quarterly financial statement that the revenue is huge compare to the size of plantation.
@joerakmo and william wang....good points brought up. That's what a good discussion should be, balanced and fair. Unlike the brother of david koresh who goes around trying to brainwash i3 readers
Cost of production now is Rm 2200 to Rm 2400.....but every type of other planted competing commodities are already up mah!
Thus the Rm 4000 should be sustainable even if cpo price correct loh!
Yes owner sell fwd....bcos they do not believe cpo can go above Rm 4,000 bcos previously this is the record price loh!
Even if owner sell fwd at Rm 4,000 and now it is at above rm 6,000.....the owner still make more money bcos the previous avg was rm 3200 which already consider lucrative mah! Now at above rm 6,000 the plantation still make money....base on selling price of Rm 4000 loh!
Companies take outside FFB still make money....bcos normally the conversion Gross margin from FFB to CPO.....is around 15% to 20% mah!
The crusher mills should make monies mah! If cannot make monies why take up the FFB leh?
Hi Calvintaneng , what you said about MHC’s land in Telok Anson are swampy and useless is UNTRUE! You liquidated MHC around $1.08 many months ago was simply because Mr Chan Kam Leong , a director who hold insignificant amount of share ,was selling down . MHC’s about 7,600 acres 0f lands are in Durien Sebatang, chankat Jong and hutan melintang are planted and generating revenue . Some of these lands are freehold and with good development value . The biggest assets of MHC is the investment in cepatwawasan.
Cpo Cost of production Rm2200 to Rm2400 after factoring in high fertilizer and high labour cost ?
Maybe for the more efficient ones they can still maintain overall cost of production at Rm1800 to Rm2000 a ton
this is still very excellent with Cpo now over Rm6000 a ton which is over 200% gross profit
The more fruitful and bountiful months of Ffb production is now and till End 2022. Plus Fcpo has reached above Rm6,500 per ton all Palm oil companies will be reporting fantastic results for the qtrs of May, August and November 2022 So don't trade for 20% to 30% short term gain
Buy and hold tight for at least 200% to 300% in this palm oil SUPERBULL
Correctloh....MHC has plantation estate near TG malim & slim river.....quality land near development area....easily converted to industrial, commercial and residential area...a big potential for mixed development projects loh!
The company is not generous in giving out dividend like Innoprise and Kmloong. That maybe the reason it is lagging behind the two. Note that Kmloong latest QR, its EPS is 3.27c only even CPO average price was above RM5,000 in that quarter.
amazingly ommited out the single most important palm oil counter in the calculations..... KLK, it may not just up 100% but surely its the sturdeast and strongest of all if ever there was a downturn
Calvin, I would say most of the plantation companies do not know what they doing. They have no idea what efficiency mean.
Years ago, I looked at TSH, they say they are using new clones (A, B mixed with clones), that is going to be 50% more productive. The production figures just doesn't add up. (I have some A, B, C, D, but that's not relevant lah). I would say they are slightly better off but not up to 50%.
Its a simple multiplier effect. If you have a big tree that have more leaves and higher percentage of female branches, plus bigger bunches, then you have more yield.
Most companies just do not care, they just have too little ffb and let half of them rot on the tree. (because they do not maintain the roads and plan properly, its difficult to harvest by then).
If you are in west malaysia or sarawak, the soil is so poor and hardly any fruits to be seen.
Its annoying to see people just divide the land area.....
Palm oil companies have been suffering from low prices for several years until most have been in despair and just struggle to survive those bleak years and therefore their spirits were low and hands were feeble
Now the sudden early upsurge of Cpo from low of Rm2,200 per ton to Rm4,000 per ton have caught them by a big shock and surprise
In Singapore Bumitama and Malaysia Jtiasa sold forward far too early to lock in good prices (not knowing far higher yet ahead to their amazement)
I have called Bumitama in Singapore and they said after locked in period till Mid 2021 last year they will try to sell higher. Also I called up jtiasa and they made the same hasty move thinking prices good already to sell forward but caught by great surprise of prices breaking out into new record after new record
Thus they no longer sell forward and now both Bumitama and Jtiasa are trying to sell "spot" for best prices.
So we see Palm oil companies are all being stirred up in this revival of another Palm Oil SuperBull Supercycle which is still in early days
And these are the bright spots
1. From March 2022 till end 2022 fresh fruit bunch harvests will increase more and more
2. With borders opened we will see the return of Ffb harvesters
3. As both sunflower oil, canola oil are depleted the demand will surge for soyoil and palm oil. Thus the prices of Cpo will sustain at very high prices till all of 2022 and into year 2023
4. Right now Russia war in Ukraine is preventing the farmers from planting the spring crop of canola for year end harvesting. This will greatly reduce supply of canola oil for year 2023
5. High fertilizer cost plus high diesel cost which further increase prices for all Vege oil will further push up palm oil
All these converging factors going to make Palm oil into ONCE A CENTURY SUPERBULL RUN LIKE NEVER SEEN ON PLANET EARTH BEFORE FOR AT LEAST SEVERAL YEARS AHEAD
Thanks for your comments Calvin. So far only bought 3 of the above in small amount, except THPlant. From observation, TaAnn is very good, as it is constantly on the move up and second is HSPlantation which went up after buying within a short time. Seems IOI Corp is responsive to CPO price movement but its price is lagging compared to others. SHChan is also a laggard.
