1. Thplant was a midcap fallen down to penny level due to gross mispricing
The good times returning was erase the the dirt and dust of yesteryear and regain it's luster
2. Thplant though at penny stock prices own colossal amount of upstream plantation lands over 240,000 acres ---towering above so many others and even more than ijmplant at slightly less than 200,000 acres
3. Thplant palm oil estates are located in Trengganu, Pahang, Johor, Sarawak, Sabah and Kalimantan
Two types of lands at book value
Land with titles book value about Rm10,000 per acre
Land without titles but with Rights of use at Rm4k to Rm5k per acre
If revalued to current market price they should range from Rm15,000 to Rm40,000 per acre depending on the location
In Sarawak the Govt has banned further conversion of timber lands to palm oil. So palm oil lands cannot be increased any further in Sarawak anymore. As such those who got palm oil lands are sitting on scarce commodities
The only way any new palm oil players can do is to buy from existing owners. So expect prices to increase more and more in future years
TH do have money, but it would be wiser to expand the business further and generates more income for their depositors. They should make use of the current CPO price to gain as much profit possible from their plantation arm, if they can improve on their efficiency, cost and production.
Thplant should give at least Rm2.50 (most dealings of M&A done at Rm2.50 by Shareholders who exchanged their Palm oil lands for Thplant shares years back at Rm2.45 a share
If you look at farming lands throughout the world, they have increased in values and to buy one, you can only get if the best price is offered.
Agric. commodity prices have increased a lot which means not many sellers of agric. lands.
Coming to Thplant's lands, they are extremely valuable.
Again, a weakened MYR against most basket of currencies (USD, S$, A$, etc), our lands are too cheap and Thplants' lands will be in high demand by prospective buyers (with planted oil palms).
Let's see what is coming from Thplant.
I have been investing in Thplant share faithfully, and I will have the last laugh.
THplant's over $1 bil of borrowing are in the subsidiary's book . At company's level , there is zero borrowing. I think TH (the fund) or Thplant (the company) have the financial capability to undertake privatisation. It's really a matter of at what price .
From the perspective of TH, it would make sense to assume 100% control to reap the full benefit of CPO price uptrend and relist later at higher IPO price.
Three four year ago, the IPO price is RM1. 25.
A matter of time it will go up with few tickets in market. Two cent here.
Malaysia has put a cap on land for oil palm to 6 mil ha (5,87 mil ha used as at 2020). Indonesia has implemented a 3 years moratorium on new planting. There is great pressure on the Indonesian government to extend the moratorium indefinitely due to environmental reason . Consequently, AVERAGE CPO price will stay much high in the future amid stagnant /lower supply and in face of global warming threatening production (of other oil crops too). Oil palm plantantion will fetch a lot more due to scarcity of land. Existing plantantion companies which generates huge amount of free cashflow can only expand thru brownfield acquisition. M&A activity and privatisation will heat up in this sector .
40 cents ? Recently Tabung Haji had approached Bank for proposals to privatize. Could the approach Bank be Maybank ? TP 40 cents with the intention pressing down the share price for Tabung Haji to privatize?
Previously under Ijmplant before takeover, i knew there were some analysts/IB talks bad about the company and the then Ijmplant share price was around RM2.00. So, now the takeover price is RM3.10. In my opinions, generally, IB are not interested in the plantation sectors and so is their investments portfolio. The focus that IB make on the CPO price of above RM3,000-3,500 for the remaining year are likely to be wrong. around RM2.00 vs RM3.10....
