Well, plantation sector is bullish. But don't forget that Bplant have a land in Sabah which is not performing well which led in impairment in previous quarter. If they can't improve the productivity in the land, i think the carrying amount will be lesser than fair value of the land which will led to another round of impairment under FRS 136.
Don't forget this company is doing upstream business which is heavily relying on the CPO and PK price. Q1 might be good but quarter 2 CPO price is below 2.5k.
CPO n PK price still good < you can refer to past quarter. Can bplant earn profit when CPO price is below RM2,300 (quarter 1 average based on MPOB website) Dividend paid awesome : If lose money how to pay dividend. Last year dividend is one of gain on the disposal of land. Price at historic low : It is not the lowest.
SuperPanda: congratz. I just have different view based on fundamental. But if those people who don't know how to run when shark sell. Then, they will get caught

The Group’s operating result is influenced by both CPO prices and FFB crop production. The cropping pattern for oil palms is influenced by weather conditions. FFB production normally starts with a trough at the beginning of the year and thereafter increases gradually to reach a peak during the second half of the year.
In March 2020, as part of the COVID-19 containment efforts, the Sabah State Government decided to shutdown palm oil operations in six districts in Sabah from 25 March 2020 to 14 April 2020. The estates and mills located in Semporna, Lahad Datu and Kinabatangan in Sabah and were operating in the affected areas are Segaria Estate, Segaria Palm Oil Mill, Sungai Segamaha Estate, Bukit Segamaha Estate, G&G Estate, Ladang Tabung Tentera Sabah, Segamaha Palm Oil Mill, Boustead Sungai Lokan Estate and Boustead Lokan Baru Estate. However, the shutdown has had no material effect on the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows for the quarter.
As put as in summary : Q1 2020: Average CPO price 2.7k, still PBT Q1 2019 Average CPO price 2k : LBT Q4 2019 : Average CPO price 2.4k, LBT
Means bplant need to above 2.5k, to break even. The revenue in Bplant is simple: price (CPO price where you can monitor at MPOB) times quantity (depends on performance of the plant). If you see CPO price today, do you think Bplant can make money in quarter 2?
Maybe yes if they can increase the quantity. But presumably that plantation sector will have higher FFB in q3 and q4.
Bousteas Holdings { major shareholder of BPlant } used to trad around $5 plus. Now is only 66 sen. LTAT wants to take it private { same goes for BPlant { make sense to privates both } ×at this low valuations
To privatize a listed company ,it needs approval from sc and majority numbers of share holders agreed in th egm .Do you think offer at low price like now which is far below the book value would get approval from share holders ?Olden day dirty trick in which press down the price intentionally and then apply for privatization to benefit the few major share holders are gone.The listed company wanted to go privatization must compliance with privatization act which is complicated and takes long time.
