IPO price was RM3 back in 2007. Making money with dividend every year with record profit this year. Of course we hope to buy it cheaper but at current price is already a steal. Stock market is really heaven for savvy and deep pocket investors. All they have to do is buy good undervalued shares, collect dividends and wait. Let good people manage the company for them. Just like Warren Buffett. Piece of cake.
Q2 earnings is affected by about $11 mil charged in fair value change in biological assets which is non cash. , non operating but merely accounting for unharvested crops. Without considering this , EPS could have been about 14sen instead of 10.75sen.
Looking at Ta ann"s result and dividend, looks like they may have neglected and dianak tirikan SWKPLT. Sarawak state govt, are you watching? Time to find somebody else to manage the company. Your 25.5% stake may not be well taken care of.
MANAGEMENT REVIEW & ANALYSIS BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS AND OPERATION Core Businesses Oil Palm Plantation and Mill Operation Sarawak Plantation Group’s principal businesses are cultivation of oil palm and processing of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) into crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel (PK). The oil palm business has two core operations, namely estate operation and mill operation. This contributes over 99% of the Group’s revenue and earnings. The Group owns 13 oil palm estates with total land bank of 42,185 hectares (ha). SARAWAK PLANTATION BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2022 27 In the year under review, the total plantable hectarage was 35,656 ha. In addition, the Group also has another estate with the size of 412 ha (planted 405 ha) under a joint venture with one of the Sarawak State Agencies. The Group owns and operates 2 palm oil mills located at Niah and Mukah, respectively. During the current financial year, Niah Palm Oil Mill’s capacity was expanded from 60 metric tonne per hour (mt/hr) to 80 mt/hr, leading to the Group’s total milling capacity of 140 mt/hr.
After underperfoming for many years, the ROE of Sarawak Plantation (SWKPLNT) managed to overtake that of KLK in 2019. It peaked in 2021 and then began to go below that of KLK in 2022. https://i.postimg.cc/sXnFvbf0/SWKPLNT.png
SWKPLNT share price seemed to mirror the ROE performance since 2019. You can see the share price peaking in 2021 and is today below the 2021 peak.
Given the mirroring feature of the share price, I am not sure that this is a counter worth digging further into. From a value investing perspective, I will dig further if the price drops to the 2018 level. Then I am confident that there will be a margin of safety.
Type Announcement Subject MONTHLY PRODUCTION FIGURES (MINING / PLANTATION / TIMBER) Description The information below shows the production figures of Sarawak Plantation Berhad for the month of January 2024 PRODUCT METRIC TONNE FFB 24,665.55 CPO 9,980.72 PK 2,157.94 https://www.klsescreener.com/v2/announcements/view/6352509
MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd (MIDF Research) said “On a yearly basis, Sarawak Plantation’s 2QFY24 profit after tax, amortisation (PATAMI) were stronger driven by better upstream performance with higher operating profit of RM24.1 million (up 70.8 per cent y-o-y) recorded, underpinned by higher CPO ASP (RM4,007 per tonne; up5.6 per cent y-o-y) and better FFB output (up 16.0 per cent y-o-y).”
It explained that profitability for estate jumped by double-digit growth to RM21.4 million (+75.0 per cent y-o-y), mainly attributed by the elevated average selling price CPO and palm kernel (PK) realised of RM4,007 per metric tonne (+5.6 per cent y-o-y) and RM2,253 per metric tonne (+20.7 per cent y-o-y), respectively.
Swk Plant seems like a hidden gem, especially with that solid QR and good dividends. If they’re performing well but still flying under the radar, it might be time to stack up while it’s cheaper!
