approximately 25 years It is only at year seven that the tree reaches peak production, where its output remains until its 18th year, after which it begins its decline. The typical commercial lifespan of an oil palm tree is approximately 25 years. Fully mature oil palms produce 18 to 30 metric tons of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) per hectare.
Floating this idea in a report, the brokerage said a potential privatisation could be self-funded by disposing some small parcels of land owned by Boustead Plantations.
>> It pointed out that since listing in 2014, Boustead Plantations has sold 2,164 hectare of land, raised RM1bil in gross proceeds, and recognised total disposal gains of RM900mil. It has also paid out RM1bil in total dividends since listing.
It is sitting on debt management to survive. Selling plantation land becomes the business policy and it distracts from the real oil palm business. Haa..ha. Got future kah?
@Asia88 Yes, I will join AGM by this Thursday too. Myside also ready some question to their mgmt, hope other investor can ask more question too, then we will know more detail in Bplant info
Do not expect to have satisfy answer during this AGM. I heard so many boss just pick question that they want to listen and hard one just say will reply through company website.
Many are not happy about the production, management quality and rate of return of Bplant. I also think all the parameters are below par comparing to the well run plantation companies eg ijmplant . We must also be realistic that if Bplant is on par with ijmplant, it’s share price would be $3.10 , not $0.58 today . So, why should some people be so bitter about the performance of Bplant vis - a vis it's share price ? Base on the NA per share of Bplant of about $1.20 ( and RNAV easily exceed $2.50), today's price of $0.58 is ridiculously low!. I think the new group CEO and the plantantion team are not that hopeless. It is just a matter of time the value of this share will emerge. I think we don't have to wait too long .
Thats why many ppl above simply comment than Bplant should be privatize. Why another company want to buy a company when they are not producing well. Unless they just want to buy the company and sell away the land?
@Asia,. There is a price for everything. People will buy if the price is right irrespective of the condition of the asset. To restore a below par plantation is not a rocket science and can be done within 1-2 years. If you are shareholders of Swkplant and follow.their recent 3-4 years development you will understand it. Once TaAnn took over the Management a few years ago , Swkplant show increasing yield right from 2nd year for the last few years consecutively.
I am not happy with some of their reply but most of the answer i am ok with it.
I think there is some disagreement between the mgmt and auditor which lead to the change of audit partner and even the resignation of audit committee chairman.
But in term of operation wise, i think the FFB harvested will still be on decreasing trend due to labor shortage. Won't have exponential growth in profit but maybe constant profit in the future if the CPO price is maintain above 3k.
For me, i will consider the CPO price trend to evaluate whether to continue with Bplant or leave it.
@Asia88 Like what you say, I also unhappy some question their reply, like answer without confident or not direct to the point
For me: Pros 1. 88% of the Past prime still can produce FFB, only 6% of the total prime over 25Year 2. Bplant can receive 32million gst refund by this year 3. FCPO price keep higher until end of next year, so bplant still can enjoy this higher cpo trend
Cons 1. Although CPO keep in higher price, but lack of man power can coz company unable to get more FFB to earn more profit 2. Company land bank good, but mgmt seen like non aggressive to convert this recourses to higher return and seen they dont have any plan or solution to overcome existing problem facing 3. Transformation programme still under 1st phase mid stage after 18months, which more than what their mgmt mentioned in AR 2019. Only 2nd phase can creating sustainable value to investor, means that mayb we still need to wait around one year+ can enjoy the better return
In myside conclusion, this counter is for investor who can hold more than a year without huge return. So I high possibility will leave it temporarily
I think main reason is Im not confident in their mgmt after AGM, especially the way they answer the serbadk case which ask by other investor. If their chairman say no or wont happen, then I will continue with Bplant. Although the annual report in receivable part and ratio seen everything is ok, but like what yr mention in auditor part disagreement, and suddenly resignation happen before AGM, so I have certain reservation in their mgmt
Date Settlement Price RM 17 Jun 21 3377 16 Jun 21 3404 15 Jun 21 3580 14 Jun 21 3375 11 Jun 21 3663 10 Jun 21 3844 9 Jun 21 3871 8 Jun 21 4049 4 Jun 21 4129 3 Jun 21 4158
@Asia88 ya, n he also ignore some question related to him, like ady visit how many palm oil estate. Some simple question also pass to another mgmt answer, seen like don know anything. Like puppet chairman. Haiz...
Looking at today scenario {KLK taking over IJM plant} there is a likelihood LTAT make a move on BPlant and not Boustead holdings. Much straight forward {BPlant} compared to parent Boustead holdings
Boustead Plantations Bhd reported a net profit of RM27.46 million for the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2020, compared with a net loss of RM172.73 million a year earlier, on higher palm product prices.
Earnings per share was 1.23 sen, versus a loss per share of 7.71 sen previously, the group’s bourse filing showed.
The higher palm product prices also lifted quarterly revenue by 27.09% to RM227.63 million, from RM179.1 million a year ago.
NTA = Rm1.11 ( March 2021 )....But majority of their LAND Assets have NOT been " Re-Valued " to current market Prices. So ........ ?????? Most of their Land Assets are in Peninsular !!
