The small cap and 2nd liners plantation counters are making good progress in their share price increase, But the big cap or counters where Sovereign funds holding significant stakes are having poor showing ! The sector overall lackluster performance (share price wise ) is predominantly due to the dampening effect of the fund continuous sell down despite robust earnings in this sector.

Counters where sovereign funds are not shareholders:
Bplant, THplant, MHC, cepat, etc

Counters with low shareholding from Sovereign funds:
Taann

For Taann and SOP, I think the funds shall complete the disposal by oct/Nov. Good chance for these counters to perform soon.

The whole dynamics for palm oil has changed. I think gone are the days for cheap CPO. Production is limited by climate change issue and governmental policy restriction, Increasing CPO volume channel to biofuels deems renewable especially in Indonesia, eventual ban on CPO export by Indonesia etc will keep CPO price significantly higher than the average price in last 10 years. In this respect, oil palm field is increasingly more valuable ,similarly to farmlands all over the world .

Some investors concern about the debt level of Bplant.
My view is debt itself is not entirely bad. It is bad when the company can not generte enough free cashflow to meet debt obligation. It is bad if the profit margin from the business is lower than the interest charge. I am not at all worried for Bplant for the following reasons:

Bplant’s net debt as at 30/6/21 was $1,126 mil . The debt was assumed to acquire 2 plantation assets in Sabah in 2018/19 which are contributing positively to bottomline amid high CPO now. The debt came down by $187 mil from a year ago. The business generated about $187 mil free cashflow in 2020 and it will even be much higher this year given robust CPO.
The disposal of kulai young estate will rake in $428 mil by year end . As such , the net debt will be reduced by about 50% after receiving the disposal proceed and from current year free cash flow from operation. My estimate is that net debt will be down to about $ 600 mil by year end . This is on assumption of no new capital investment in the year . Bplant can be debt free immediately if it decide to disposal another 600-800 ha of freehold development land which is nothing compared to the 98,212 ha of landbank it has . The debt level will not affect it's ability to pay good dividend

Current share price solely on the strength of its earning potential. Nothing to do with privatization possibility . If that come , I am quite confident it will surpass $1/- . Intrinsic value is far higher than share price . Debt level is nothing if compared to its intrinsic value and especially its business is generating considerable operating cashflow .

@Asia88, fully understand impairment is non cash item . But it has considerable impact on P&L and BS. For this reason, Bplant’s share price was badly punished for the huge loss in FY 2019 arising from this $176 mil impairment.
Just curious .
I have seen steel company reversing huge impairment make in past years because price outlook for steel is much brighter now .

In 2019 , Bplant impaired $176 mil on Pertama estate which acquired in 2018 from Dutaland for $750 mil. The reason for the impairment was the underperformance of that newly acquired asset amid average CPO price of about $2,000 in 2018 -2019. With Average CPO price of possibly reaching $4,500 for 2021 and bright outlook for 2022/23, will the impairment be reversed?

@ joerakmo, debts itself is not totally bad. It is bad when the company can not generte enough free cashflow to meet debt obligation. It is bad if the profit margin from the business is lower than the intetrest charge. I am not at all worried for Bplant and Thplant for the following reasons:

Bplant :. Net debt as at 30/6/21 was $1.126 mil, down by $187 mil from a year ago. The business generated about $187 mil free cashflow in 2020 and it will even be higher this year due to robust CPO. The disposal of kulai young estate will rake in $428 mil by year end . As such , the net debt will be reduced by the disposal proceed and free cash flow from 2H operation ie ($1,126 - 428 - 100) =$ 598mil. This is on assumption of no new capital investment in the year . Bplant can be debt free immediately if it decide to disposal another 600-800 ha of freehold development land which is nothing compared to the 98,212 ha of landbank it has . The debt level will not affect it's ability to pay good dividend.

THplant:. Net debt as at 31/6/21 was $1,075 mil Net cash generated from operation in 2020 was about $115mil. The company has earmarked some properties for disposal to pare down debt . The debt level is insignificant compared to the intrinsic value of the 97, 289 ha of landbank of which 81,526 ha are planted with oil palm and teak at relatively young profile.

For inno, I think the $0.10 special dividend is due to the disposal of 11% stake in Hap Seng plantantion which I think is one off. Nevertheless, inno consistently pay good dividend too.
