0231 GMT [Dow Jones] Fitch Ratings on Tuesday improved its outlook for the Asian palm oil sector as prices for crude palm oil increase, leading to higher operating cash flows and boosting firms' credit profiles. The ratings agency said its outlook on the sector remains muted, but improving with expectations that crude palm prices will be higher than in 2015 due to steady demand and lower production in major producers Indonesia and Malaysia. Due to extreme dry weather last year that hit crop production, industry analysts predict the first fall in output in 15 years in Indonesia, the world's top producer of the edible oil. An increase in domestic consumption will also boost global prices, Fitch said. One factor to watch will be crude oil prices, a drop in which could drag crude palm prices down again given the high correlation between the two, said Fitch. (sara.schonhardt@wsj.com)

Earnings sustainable? Plantation should do better with higher CPO price and higher sales quantities. IDR gained against USD by 4% in Q2 compared to 6% in Q1. Decline in unbilled property sales is expected due to fewer launches which should reduce property earnings visibility. EPS in Q2 to be around 10 sen which is quite decent.
Nothing going on. A fellow decided to sell MKH shares has instructed his broker to do so and coincidentally a fund manager, having an account in a securities firm that the broker is in, finds its a value buy at this price level. There you go a cross transfer of 1,000,000 shares today.
i am forecasting mkh's coming quarter eps will be at least 10sen compare last year of 2.6sen. plantation will be doing very well (excluded forex gain) compare to last quarter. in last quarterly report, the management do mentioned they hold the cpo sales for better selling price in coming quarters. so the cpo sales in latest quarter will be excellent.
0146 GMT [Dow Jones] After a very challenging year in 2015, palm oil companies will record a pick-up in earnings in 2016 as palm oil prices will average higher this year, boosted by El Nino, says BMI Research in a note. "However, the improvement will be limited as higher prices will be partially offset by lower palm output and rising costs." It adds that BMI Research maintains its bullish outlook on palm oil companies on a multi-month basis, as higher palm oil prices and relatively cheap valuations among large players boost share prices.
