With drier weather conditions since July, Ta Ann Holdings reported significant improvements in its timber sector, with increased production volumes of logs and plywood. However, the group anticipates that timber product prices will continue to yield only modest profit margins. The group’s palm oil production is on an uptrend coming into the second half of the year, with the fresh fruit bunch production cycle reaching its peak. “With anticipation of tight supplies of vegetable crops due to dry weather in the Black Sea region as well as higher consumption of biofuels in diesel in Indonesia, crude palm oil price is expected to hover only at current level in the second half of the year,” the group said.
Public Investment maintained an “outperform” call with a revised target price of RM4.88 on Ta Ann
CGS International maintained an “add” rating with an unchanged target price of RM5.50, highlighting Ta Ann’s strong balance sheet and attractive dividend yields.
CIMB Securities maintained its “buy” call on Ta Ann with an unchanged target price of RM4.60, citing the stock’s attractive 6%-8% dividend yield.
All three research houses remain positive on Ta Ann’s long-term prospects, driven by strong performance in the plantation segment and potential recovery in timber production starting from July. They also like the stock’s attractive dividend yield and potential for unlocking value. They also noted the higher payout ratio as another key positive factor.
TAANN has been good and I think is still a very decent business on the verge of breakout. However, I am committed to divesting 40% of my local Bursa position from now till FYE 2025. It's a tough choice, but thank-you TAANN!
Indonesia to implement B40 palm oil biodiesel on Jan 1, 2025, official says
JAKARTA: Indonesia plans to implement biodiesel containing a mandatory 40% blend of palm oil-based fuel from Jan. 1 next year, senior energy ministry official Eniya Listiani Dewi said on Thursday.
Indonesia currently has a 35% mandatory blend for palm oil-based biodiesel, known as B35.
The government had previously flagged a plan to increase the biodiesel blend to 40% next year, without specifying a start date.
"There is no issue in terms of supply volume and other aspects, so we are ready for a mandatory (implementation)," Eniya told Reuters.
When implemented, the B40 mandate could increase biodiesel consumption to up to 16 million kilolitres (KL) next year from a forecast of 13 million KL this year, the energy ministry has estimated. - Reuters

Enning, present Indonesia stock is 2.5 million tons. 2025 from B35 to B40 will use up 3m tonnes. With no increase in production, end 2025 stocks will be zero! Is this the main reason cpo prices shooting through the roof?

Prospects for the Current Financial Year The Group remains committed to ongoing improvements in operational efficiency across both its Timber and Oil Palm divisions. However, the persistently weak market demand for timber products has resulted in relatively low prices which continued to place pressure on the profit margins in the timber segment. On a positive note, the recent crude palm oil (CPO) prices have surged above RM 5,000/mt, the highest level since July 2022 enabling the Group to achieve an improved profit margins in its oil palm division. The global economic outlook is expected to stabilize following the recent developments including the elected Donald Trump as President of the United States. His campaign commitments to end conflicts and foster economic recovery may help restore confidence and drive global market growth. In this context, CPO prices are projected to remain robust through the end of the year. The Group will maintain its focus on operational efficiency and cost management to sustain competitiveness and profitability. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Board of Directors is optimistic about delivering a satisfactory performance in 2024.
