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.

But now as lockdown policies restrict travel in many parts of the region, and the Malaysian government looks to cut back hiring of migrant workers, palm growers are left with little choice. The industry is also reaching out to drug rehabilitation centers for potential workers

something really went wrong, CPO rising but they are making peanuts

Cpo prices spike up from last year $2,100 per tonne to a high of 3,000 per tonne { up 40 - 45 % } even laggards like FGV, RH, TSH recorded much higher profit at the back of higher & better sales {CPO & PK prices} except for this counter. In addition, no segmentation on their Indonesian sales pricing VS their Peninsular and Sabah operations

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....

UMCCA is the only plantation stock that has not gone up so much. Very good buy at current price.

umcca should not be too affected by indonesia ban. indonesia operation contribute around 10% of its profit. i believe the rise in cpo price will exceed the negative consequences . hold for better price and divivdend announcement coming next month which should be better than last year

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
