No, the price spread between soya vs CPO is already very narrow, hence CPO movement is limited, if CPO price go up somemore buyers will buy Soya instead
brian, I'm inclined to believe your suggestion particularly today's movement of this counter. This leads to the next question: How high are they going to push it up? Your best guess.
I still think that LTAT will soon monetize the deep value Bplant . Plantation is not yielding a resonable and sustainable return to them and furthermore they don’t have expertise to manage plantation business or any businesses for the matter.. LTAT will eventually be a diversified portfolio investor like EPF and PNB.
Plantation counters are up broadly, only thing is bplant up more than others. If there are insider news, the price won’t be slam down the day before and fly the next day. There are sharks at play. Only they know what’s the target price. But 1 thing for sure, Q2 results will be red.
for a transaction to complete, there must be a willing seller, matched with willing buyer... for sure if enbloc sales, there will be no takers due to Sarawak and Sabah (Dutaland), plantation outlook are not looking good in the near term too... thus land sales can only happen for peninsula piece by piece... and for purpose other than plantation...
Brian, I agree en bloc sale of land is near implausible. Insiders definitely knows something we don't. We can only play the guessing game at this juncture. My suspicion is LTAT is increasing its stake from the open market.
I have never seen such trades on BPlant shares since it was relisted! It started in May. Pushed price up to 0.79. Dumped down to 0.68 and announced a sen dividend. Further dumping down to 0.64 before it make a complete turnaround in less than 24 hours! Unusual times. I am holding onto my shareholding very tightly.
As Boustead is a company with more than100 history since the time when Long Jaffar founded tin in Larut (circa 1848) the lands alienated to bplant from Boustead now sits in prime zone still at ancient rock bottom prices
So if revalued Bplant Nta will reach Rm5.00
BPLANT LIKE ALL OTHER PALM OIL CO SITTING ON VERY UNDERVALUE LAND ASSETS
Hi Lube, LTAT had too easy time taking Bstead Holdings private at low price . They think the extremely bearish Bursa now is very good timing to do on Bplant . Question is at what price ?
This is definitely an unusual market activity. Well I dumped everything and exit this counter today, getting nett 13% returns over 1.5 years with this counter (when i bought at the high 84 cents and getting the high dividends as well). But I will still pay very close attention to this counter, could enter again when the price hit sub-70 cents 😁
Privatisation of Bplant? Who's going to do that now? LTAT? They already have their hands full with Boustead Holdings. Maybe one day that may happen but I doubt it's now. If the parent is taken private, is it mandatory to do so for all it's wholly own subsidiary? There are other options to unlock value in the company such as sale of assets (particularly those non-strategic ones), etc.
I think insider news already spread out that Boustead going to sell Bplant land or take it private after increasing its stake in Bplant by fully owning Boustead. LTAT might go to fully fund management route like PNB and KWSP instead of managing company which they over many years shown have failed miserably.
The government already fully took over Boustead Naval Shipyard which builds all the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). Bplant with its immense land tressure will be capitalised by LTAT to reduce its debt and invest in other companies in Malaysia and foreign market just like KWSP
LTAT already took advantage of Boustead by taking it private at a suppressed price of only 85.5 cents. In comparison to the last 10 years price (2013), the share was trading at RM5.20. Any main shareholder will want to take advantage of its company when it is at the lowest price range when market don't value the company at the intrinsic value. If market price the share as penny stock while its NTA more than double the price, might as well main shareholder take it private to take full advantage of the company value
Boustead value at only 2 companies Bplant and Affin already more than 85.5 cents. Not yet including other companies and its privately held land, business and other asset.
"The completion of the privatisation exercise will allow LTAT to accelerate the turnaround of Boustead, as part of its larger goal to rebalance its investment portfolio and ensure the funds longterm sustainability.
"The turnaround will entail the restructuring of the group, rationalisation of its debt obligations and implementation of value creation activities," he added.
Boustead privatization at 85.5 sen is totally unfair and below real intrinsic value
Bursa should implement a policy and make it mandatory for all Listed Companies to get an up to date valuation of all assets especially all lands, palm oil lands, factories, offices, shopping malls and others TO GIVE A REAL TIME VALUE OR REAL TIME NTA (NET TANGIBLE ASSET) VALUE
IN THIS WAY THE REAL VALUE WILL EMERGE
Not too long ago Ppg (Pelangi Publishing Group) was taken private at only 36.5 sen with it's assets still listed at old book value
3 Storey shop houses in Taman Pelangi was valued at only Rm140,000
Today it is going for Rm2.8 Millions which is 20x more than book value
In this was all minority shareholders have been short changed
@Calvintaneng; Go and analyse the contents of Kenanga Investment Bank's 150 page independent advice circular dated 17 April 2023 before you give "buy kaw kaw, die die hold" type of one liner views. Then explain why minorities accept a "not fair" offer of 85.5 sen when Boustead's fair value is calculated by Kenanga to be in a range that is double that low ball figure.
Yes KSeng assets are also very undervalue but after i met their Top Guys in Taman Daya Office they told me the Bosses are not interested in their share performance but only keep to a low profile business which give a fair dividend
Another one is Daiman (daimond) the boss of Daiman has been buying and buying up Daiman from Rm1.50 to Rm2.20 and then offerred Rm3.00 to take Daiman private
it was still very undervalue even at Rm3.00 as Daiman's assets are at rock bottom prices
But at least Daiman boss gave an extra 80 sen premium to take Daiman private at Rm3.00(from Rm2.20)
One interesting event happened when Daiman lands in Taman Senai Utama came up for sale by tender
They are asking Rm60 per sq ft When i checked up the Annual Report of that piece of Daiman lands listed for sale it was only less than 10% book value of Rm60.00 psf
So we called Daiman office at Menara Landmark and they said that is the market value and they will not sell below Rm60.00 psf
This is why Bursa And Sc should make it COMPULSORY FOR ALL LISTED COMPANIES TO REVALUE ALL ASSETS BEFORE PRIVATIZATION
Note: 2 Daiman hq friends are in Eagle Group on palm oil They are nice people but silent readers
