@dompeilee....Patience is a virtue. I hold a portfolio of palm oil plantation related stocks including WTK and JTiasa but will not knock slow moving WTK. Every dog will have its day and similarly with currently not in favor WTK. It just needs a catalyst to perform in this market.
I totally agree....have been holding my latest repurchases of WTK since mid-2016 & averaging down every year when it came close to ex-dividend date. Oriental made me wait even longer(since late 2013) BUT the DELICIOUSNESS when my holdings turn from long paper losses into paper gains!
When June rolls around and WTK 1Q2022 results are out and digested, patient investors can feast opulent on the king of fruits in Raub. Musang king season for them!
This is for value investors, not action junkies....action junkies pls file your way to Genting baccarat tables...the tahiboss really want to su(k your $$$ lol
U need to understand....we already had move ahead since the covid run in 2020 loh!
Now u need to be little bit more defensive & plantations with CPO price up and huge cheap landbank to manage inflation plus a good hedge against RM depreciation are good bets to manage this risk & capitalise on opportunities loh!

stockraider: Inflation is good for banking whereas recession is not loh!
So if u invest in banking when recession strike....be prepare for about 2 years share price consolidation mah!
Yup. You are right. In recession, all sectors affected and their share price as well. If you intend to invest for long haul, it is also the time to buy into some good companies. Normally, equity market will move ahead first when economy starts recovering.
If timber segment continues to shrink, plantation profit should overtake timber losses as soon as the upcoming qtr report, with the CPO spike being encapsulated in 1Q. If disappointing, hold for another year lor...already held my shares for 6 years, what's one more year?lol
Already earned over $1000 in dividends since trading in & out of WTK from 2012-2016 & re-purchasing my SOLD ALL in Jan '16(got out very close to the $1.55 high) shrs in mid-'16 & increasing my stake exponentially from '17 till now.
While other small cap palm oil plantation counters are giving back some price gains today, laggard WTK remains resilient. A really good sign of better things to come soon! From now till end May , accumulate further on weakness during poor sentiment days.
At long last WTK shows some promise; moving back above 50 sen today after director Wong Chie Kie of Fortescue fame bought some 5 million shares in July and company recommences share buyback. Wong, resident in Australia, became a billionaire following his phenomenal investment in Fortescue Metals where the penny stock in 2003 now trades at A$19.
Still a good recovery play. Timber division losses are decreasing. Palm oil plantation is good. Manufacturing is holding up well. Purchase of new frozen foods business turned out to be a small windfall. Controlling shareholders show faith in company's prospects. Possibly family feud is resolved with Wong Kie Yik/Wong Chie Kie side prevailing since they purchased more shares in the market.
Domp, it’s a solid company. Spoke with their CFO before. Plennyo assets and cash. Tight shareholdings, however, may be a hurdle for share price movements
This counter is a serious underperformer. I hope the major shareholders and management are willing to put in serious effort to increase the value of this once great company. Minority shareholders are being neglected for being loyal to the company.
WTK which diversified into palm oil plantation later than Jtiasa is trading at a very steep discount to NTA because its unprofitable timber division is dragging down performance. It could be the next great plantation buy for the (very) patient investor.
Bought more for long term hold in the expectation new plantation acquisitions using cash hoard will be earnings accretive with higher future dividend payouts. Just too cheap to resist at 0.3 x book value and improving prospects.
One of the ways I screen for companies is to compare their ROE trends with those of companies in the same sector that I have carried out detailed fundamental analysis. On such a basis, I found that WTK did worse than my 2 references - Eksons and Taann. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1byo-eO4CM
WTK would be worse off than similar timber/palm oil plantation companies on a historical ROE basis because of its loss making plywood operations. But it is undertaking business diversification albeit belatedly and if this pays off, may reward patient minority shareholders handsomely. In the meantime, eke out an existence on 1-1.5 sen dividend.
