Not many foreign funds are buying plantation stocks due to ESG hence share price will mostly go sideway. Buy only those plantation companies that give good dividend.
This is the latest announcement by Jaya Tiasa "KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 21): Jaya Tiasa Holdings Bhd’s net profit swelled to RM51.07 million for the second quarter ended Dec 31, 2021 (2QFY22), 11 times the RM4.63 million it made in the year-ago corresponding quarter, on higher average selling prices for fresh fruit bunches (FFB) and crude palm oil.
The plantation group's earnings per share jumped to 5.28 sen from 0.48 sen, its bourse filing on Monday (Feb 21) showed. Revenue rose 57.93% to RM239.24 million, from RM151.49 million in 2QFY21.
The group said ASP of FFB grew 68% year-on-year, while the ASP for CPO rose 45%. No dividend was declared for the latest reporting quarter. Compared to the immediate preceding quarter of 1QFY22, the group's net profit doubled from RM24.57 million, as revenue rose 63.87% from RM146 million, thanks to a 40% increase in sales volume, and a 39% rise in the ASP of CPO.
For the six months ended Dec 31, 2021 (6MFY22), Jaya Tiasa made a net profit of RM75.64 million, up 91.6% from RM39.8 million in 6MFY21, while revenue rose to RM385.24 million from RM372.58 million.
Moving forward, Jaya Tiasa said its oil palm segment is expected to perform well, in view of strong palm oil prices.
“The 20% restrictions on palm oil export imposed by the major palm oil producing country (Indonesia) should continue to support the current buoyant palm oil prices for the remaining quarters of FY22,” it said.
However, the group noted that FFB production is expected to be affected by the shortage of workforce and off-peak season, but added that it expects current high palm oil prices to cushion the financial impact of the reduction in crop production.
“Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the group anticipates satisfactory financial performance for the remaining quarters of the FY22,” it added. yewyin33
2021 Dec CPO. 12,243 mt Nov CPO. 13,529 mt Oct CPO 13, 867mt
Remark: jtiada under very significant CPO production volume now. Despite, surge in CPO price now to from 4.5k to 6k now, Its next Q profit growth if any will be very modest due to slash in production volume by 50%
Sslee, Sorry. I really quite disagree with your remarks. Actually do you have the data of those foreign funds invested in plantation stocks to support your claims or just guessing? Do you mean to say that those plantation companies not paying dividends or good dividends are considered inferior? How sure are you that they will not pay dividends in future if they have the surplus funds?

Uncle is very confused of himself . Didn't he repeatedly said the powerful tool to move share price is EARNING ?? Why is he not looking at earning parameters ? Market cap/ha value doesn't necessary mean the plantation is cheap! The true value of the plantation assets lies on the following factors : (1) Earning capacity of the plantation land which again highly dependent on soil type/condition, topography, health of the bearing palms etc. (2) Realisable market value of the land which relate to locality and potential development value
For simplicity, let me just compare the various important parameters of Jtiasa and Bplant which is an average plantation: Planted area jtiasa : 69,589 ha Planted area Bplant : 73,500 ha (including non bearing immature area) Own FFB production Jan -Dec 2021 jtiasa : 727,162 mt Own FFB production Jan -Dec 2021 Bplant : 923,408 mt FFB yield/ha jtiasa (727,162/69,589) = 10.45 mt/ha FFB yield/ha Bplant (923,408/73,500) = 12,56 mt/ha BPLANT'S YIELD/HA IS 20% HIGHER THAN JTIASA.
Oil extraction rate (OER) Jtiasa : 18.1% OER Bplant : 21.1% BPANT'S OER IS 16.6% HIGHER
EPS Jan-Dec 2021 jtiasa : 6.98 sen EPS Jan-Dec 2021 Bplant : 10.77 sen BPLANT's EPS is 54.3% HIGHER
Realisable value for all the land of Bplant in west Malaysia of about 30,000 ha is many times higher than Jtiasa land in the remote area in sarawak. About 10,000 ha of Bplant's land in west malaysia at the fringe of or near towns commands commercial value of $600,000 to $1mil/ha . Half of Malakoff estate in Seberang prai was sold at about $1 per ha a few years ago. in 2021, 680 ha of kulai estate was sold $429mil or $622,000 per ha. These 10,000 ha of Bplant's land with development value (say value at avg 700,000/ha ) is equivalent to 140,000 ha of poor yielding plantation in the remote sarawak. (poor yielding plantation in sarawak fetch about $50,000/ha ).
My intention is not to promote Bplant over jtiasa. It simply to share the facts for the benefit of investing public. All data presented by me in the above can be easily verified.
Comparison should be based on year to year basis (Feb 22 vs Feb 21, Jan 22 vs Jan 21, Dec 21 vs Dec 20 etc). Crude Palm Oil (metric tonnes): 7,306 (Feb 22), 8,887 (Jan 22), 12,243 (Dec 21), 13,529 (Nov 21), 13,867 (Oct 21) 7,882 (Feb 21), 9,828 (Jan 21), 11,325 (Dec 20), 12,054 (Nov 20), 14,167 (Oct 20)
It's a fact that Jtiasa CPO production fell in a declining trend in Nov, Dec, Jan Feb..... but most importantly is that CPO futures prices are in backwardation .... implying that CPO prices will be falling sharply in coming months.
Hope more constructive views can be forwarded and shared for the benefits of all the investors in this forum with special reference to Jaya Tiasa. This is a Jaya Tiasa forum. Please do not distract our attentions with other stocks.
A lot of KYY hater in i3 because of his many U turn in steel stocks and in year 2014 where he promoted till jtiasa above RM 2+ but he himself sold all and leave many of his supportors holding Jtiasa at high price.
My advise is not all in one particular plantation stock but have a bucket of plantation stocks. Plantation earning will be very good for year 2022.
I sold all my bplant in 2018 at RM 1.60+ when bplant overpaid for the Sabah plantation assets. RM750 million for dutaland plantation assets. I only start trading Bplant in 2020 and decided to hold long term for dividend income in 2021.
I wish to confirm what calvintaneng said about his advice to sell Jaya Tiasa in 2014 at Rm 2.70. In 2014 Jaya Tiasa has only about 55,000 planted hectares and currently JT has about 70,000 hectares. JT is very much undervalued. Based on the current market capitalization it is about Rm 15,000 per hectare or Rm 6,000 per acre. Where can you buy land at Rm 6,000 an acre??? All must read my last 3 articles. A few less informed investors said that whenever I post buy recommendation they should sell. In any case, these small investors cannot push up the price because the daily traded volume is tens of million shares. KYY
You all carry on with the interesting discussions. Let me learn from you all. What I hope is that some of fund managers will notice the value of Jaya Tiasa.
