Foreign investors probably being blackmailed to not invest in palm oil companies. Few years ago the west already blackmailed the foreign banks into not lending to palm oil companies. Such as HSBC had to ask existing borrowers to refinance. Many small shareholders went yo local banks instead.

UNITED MALACCA's earning performance has been overall unstable in last five years, whereby its earning per share overall fluctuated from -18.6 sen to 40.4 sen. In particular, in the current financial year, the group is hit by a -18.6 sen per share losses, due to low crude palm oil prices and new adoption of the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards.

Umcca used to be seen as an 'efficient' planter through taking advantage of aggressive accounting policy for plantation (non amortization of planting costs). The real face was revealed after compulsory adoption of new MFRS. Umcca is not an alone case. WTK and Jtiasa were adopting such aggressive accounting policy too.

Labour & fertilisers cost make up the bulk of a Plantation estate expenses. If you look at their current accounts both fertilisers costs & operating expenses are higher than other plantations {tier one} companies { TSH, IJM plant,HSplant } dont compared with IOI or Up.

Based on comparison of 44 plantation counters listed in Bursa Malaysia, UNITED MALACCA is shown to be one of the TOP 8 plantation counters worthy to pay attention to and potentially invest in. UNITED MALACCA stands out in performance indicators such as having mostly steady earning per share (~ 10 sen per share and above), high market capitalization (RM 1,108 million) and relatively low P/E ratio of ~17.

With CPO price at above RM5000, this continues to be a disappointing plantation company, dragged down by its Indonesian operations. Companies that do not have oil refineries in Indonsia will always lose out because CPO price in Indonesia is some RM1000 lower than that in Malaysia. In general, the crop yield of its plantations in Malaysia is so much lower compared to UP, KLK, IOI, HSP, etc. Weakness is in it harvesting operations, not agronomy....

According to Professor Novy-Marx, the gross profitability (gross profit/total asset) is a return metric that has the same power as price to book value in prediction cross section returns of a stock. https://i.postimg.cc/6QJy1P2f/United-Malacca.png

When I compared Bursa Malaysia plantation company, United Malacca gross profitability with that of the sector median, you can see that it clearly underperformed. This underperformance is not so clear cut when you look at ROE.

Moral of the story? Return is one key measure of profitability and I normally look at several return metrics – ROE, ROA, Gross Profitability, NOPAT/Capital to get a better picture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KhboTCMdEg
