lumber future is now all time high ($530) in the history (It was close to $500 during 1990s), I really don't understand why no one buying all the timber stocks.
too quick conclusion yesterday true is w/o the one off gain wtk is in deep shit avoid this counter KUALA LUMPUR: WTK Holdings Bhd swung to a net profit of RM63.18mil for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, from a net loss of RM4.28 million a year earlier mainly due to a RM120.23mil gain on the deconsolidation of a wholly-owned subsidiary. Revenue fell to RM183.23mil from RM209.52mil previously as it recorded lower timber sales due to shortage of quality logs.
The Group recognised a gain on deconsolidation amounting to RM120,234,000 and recognised write-off of the allowance for impairment loss of RM35,273,000 in respect of amount owed from AMV. As such, the net effect of the above resulted in a gain of RM84,961,000.
sabah ban timber export recently and this should benefited sarawak timber counter,especially WTK.this was because WTK was the only sarawak timber company that able to sustain timber production for the past 1 year,while others like jtiasa and taann was suffered huge drop in timber production.
thats why WTK was the only timber stock in my portfolio at this junction.
Sherlock, no they don't manage their timber business well. In fact, pretty bad, lumber price has been top in q1 2018 at 500 USD, while their monthly log production hit 85,000 in March, yet they said it is due to lack of 'quality' log, they still lost 17 million in lumber. This is unacceptable and something is fishy. After holding and average down for 2 years, I have offload a lot this morning thanks to some people who bought in the beginning. Lost a ~4% but its okay. I can't trust the management anymore.
It's an unexpected lackluster QR due to timber segment shortage of quality logs for production and fulfillment of backlog orders. Hopefully, no more such funny reasons in next QR. WTK has turned into a net cash company 11 cents per share (deducted payable ) after de-consolidation O & G segment.

S’wak govt to stop issuing new timber licenses – CM July 18, 2018, Wednesday Karen Bong
The Sarawak government will continue to stop the issuance of new timber licences in all out efforts to protect and retain the remaining indigenous virgin jungle in the state.
Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg stressed that the vast tracts of the forest have already been logged and it was very difficult to restore them.
“Worse still is the stripping of the forests of all their vegetation by plywood factories operating deep in the forests, ostensibly to clear the land for the planting of oil palm,” he told the august House in his winding up speech at the State Assembly Sitting today
“As such, therefore, there will be no more new palm oil plantation licences except for NCR (Native Customary Rights) land,” he pointed out.
The state government, he added, will continue to fight illegal logging.
“Not only are they just stealing timber in areas which are not licensed to them, but they are also intruding into forest reserve areas,” he said.
“If unchecked, we may have no more forest reserves of any kind, fully protected or otherwise. We must protect our protected forests if we want to retain any of our indigenous virgin jungle,” he added
WTK HAS BEEN GIVEN SOLE RIGHTS FOR MANY TIMBER CONCESSIONS. IT IS ALMOST A MONOPOLY WITH TAANN & IN SMALL MEASURE JTIASA
