Foreign investors probably being blackmailed to not invest in palm oil companies. Few years ago the west already blackmailed the foreign banks into not lending to palm oil companies. Such as HSBC had to ask existing borrowers to refinance. Many small shareholders went yo local banks instead.

Its 4th quarter result is just horrendous, aggravated by among others poor palm oil and palm kernel prices. A reduced final dividend of 6 sen is proposed by Co.

Book their profit on their 4 estates sale. Once off gain. Operating losses for 6 consecutive qtr ( IF NOT the estates disposal} half of the peninsular land sold. Not a good indicator { stripped of their land disposal gain)

UNITED MALACCA's earning performance has been overall unstable in last five years, whereby its earning per share overall fluctuated from -18.6 sen to 40.4 sen. In particular, in the current financial year, the group is hit by a -18.6 sen per share losses, due to low crude palm oil prices and new adoption of the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards.

Umcca used to be seen as an 'efficient' planter through taking advantage of aggressive accounting policy for plantation (non amortization of planting costs). The real face was revealed after compulsory adoption of new MFRS. Umcca is not an alone case. WTK and Jtiasa were adopting such aggressive accounting policy too.

Labour & fertilisers cost make up the bulk of a Plantation estate expenses. If you look at their current accounts both fertilisers costs & operating expenses are higher than other plantations {tier one} companies { TSH, IJM plant,HSplant } dont compared with IOI or Up. Income from Indonesia is equally disappointing incurring losses for the past 4 years

Depreciation of Property, Plant & Equipment shows RM 54.5 million for FY 30Apr19 whereas amount restated to 56.4 million for FY 30Apr18 for comparison purposes. If you read the AR 2018, the amount was , in fact, RM 28 million which was before adopting new MFRS. The additional charged of RM 28 million for depreciation of planting costs in complying new MFRS.

TSH used to adopted an aggressive policy of non depreciating planting costs too but INNO adopted deprecated planting costs policy even though under the control of TSH management.

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

2020-09-25 19:10

Plantermen

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 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
