Its about looking beyond the curve and be right. However, I will admit i'm not always right. There are times that things that should follow through didn't and I suffered loses. =D
Speaking of IB, when IB say buy, I sell. If IB say sell, I buy. I will 7 out of 10 times. They are full of crap.

RJ87, there are element of luck… at times share price remain stagnant and dividend yield elevated due to market sentiment… for now, the share price is slightly more reflective… but still got lots of room to grow… lets hope the best that CPO price remain to be elevated in 2022 throughout…
I will suggest to watch closely on import and export policy of Malaysia and other countries.
Last time MITI impose 5% import duty on steel. Steel counter went up 300-400%.When trade war begin, and everyone were dumping steel, even 5% import duty can't protect our steel industries. it drop all the way down to crap.
Be sensitive to changes, it will create a momentary overvaluation and undervaluation. Know when the party just begin and party is over.
" 4th Interim dividend of 4 sen surprised me and total dividend adds up to 8.35sen " .. Agreed. Good Bonus to many including Boustead Holdings. " CPO price realized for Q4 2021 was $5,044 and FY 2021 is $4,341 which are excellent."... presumed they "decided" not to Hedge their SALES( Forward options ) . Rather ,,, "Play by the Ear" and ride the waves. " The contribution of disposal gain and cashflow from Kulai land disposal is not in 2021 account except 43 mi deposit is taken in. " ..... As expected. Thus the 1st Q of 2022 financial results will be quite good. .....................
Side Notes :- a) "" Oil extraction rate (OER) and kernel extraction rate (KER) stayed at 21.5% and 4.1% respectively. """ ....... thus extraction of CPO yield exceeds 20% which is with the TOP CPO producers like IOI, UMalacca and KLK. Quite surprised as it means they have improved their " Management Control" quite a BIT. b) “In addition, Malaysia's end stock for the first quarter of 2022 is expected to stay at the low level due to weaker production.” ............ Hinting that CPO stocks till April/May 2022 will likely be well below Historical data. Sime Darby and Now, Bplant have made similar statements.

Celebration time for HIGH dividends. Finished my 21Y Ballantines. Now ... GLENFIDDICH 21 YEAR otw .........
Calvin, regarding your article. Agree that bplant debt have yet to include the sales of Johor land. After include Johor land, both are more or less same in terms of net of debt and cash. But I think in your analysis, perhaps u could also mention on the land size comparison between both? And furthermore the potential surprises such as future land sales? Would also highlight that there are mismatch of production data delta % vs sales volume delta % (Dec Qtr vs Sep Qtr in page 11 of jtiasa announcement)… suggesting Dec Qtr is somehow includes sales of prior quarters production? And for bplant, the tax charge included some seasonality… Hence taking Dec Qtr x 4 to calculate PE might not be the most accurate? And also higher NTA per share for jtiasa as compared to bplant was due to bplant keep paying good dividend?
Calvin, I do find your analysis very informative, that is why I read your analysis seriously… it would be better IF u consider the points above and fine tune it… Especially on the exclusion of seasonality impact of sales volume in jtiasa in Dec Qtr and higher tax charge for both companies in Dec Qtr before u annualise the EPS…
Bro Calvin, I know it’s just a brief outlook, thanks for coming out this outlook in just a few hours…and btw, wanna also point out the retained earnings of bplant is 1.3bil as opposed to jtiasa of 0.3bil, suggesting while bplant is generous in distributing dividend, it also reinvest a lot of its past gains, being from plantation business or land sales back into its business, by buying more plantation land… btw… Calvin, do keep up the good work by raising awareness on undervalued stocks…
Next quarter the Dividend will include A Big Bonanza from Kulai land disposal
There is an urgent unlocking of Value in Bplant due to Boustead the ultimate holding company needing liquid Cash to function because of its very high debt
Our firm conviction: it is only a matter of time Bplant will cross Rm1.00. Then Rm1.50 and Rm2.00 target prices eventually
Hmmm… I will stop responding to those provocateur ya… it is a traditionally seasonal trend that Q1 is a low production Qtr for plantation company due to rain in the previous month and Feb is a short month. That is what drove price of CPO up. Period.
Land sale proceed is to pay off loan as per the prospectus. However quarterly operating cashflow is 150mil per quarter at CPO price 5k. Now is 6k and with quarterly production of 40,000 ton, it is an extra 40mil cash and profit in 2022. Plus 3mil interest saving on loan repayment from land sale offset with 10mil extra makmur tax, it is still generating 180mil free cashflow per quarter or equal to 8 cent per quarter. This is super cycle
With the pay down of loan from land sale, borrowing will be at comfortable level and that mean Bplant can afford to pay 6-8 cent dividend per quarter from it operation cashflow. I see high possibility it will frank high dividend as Boustead holding need cash
No need to expect CPO keep going up. Plantations will make a new record amount of profit even if average price of $5,000 is achieved for 2022. Let's be realistic and don't over react to the day-to-day or week-to-week CPO price movement.
cost of productions relates to labour, fertilisers, mainteance, cost of sales and excludes EBIT { earnings before interest and taxes} this is to reflect the actual performance of a company core operations without adding the costs of capital and taxes etc And computation of sales tax, state taxes, capital allowance for immature and new plantings & windfall tax differ between East Malaysia states and Peninsular
Q1 2022 will consolidate profit from sale of estate land and the higher profit anticipated. EPS may be close to 20 sen, 14 sen from land sale profit and 5 - 6 sen from net operating profit. Hold tightly for bumper dividends over 4 quarters in 2022, cheers.
Know what will be Bplant plantation land in Peninsular Malaysia worth? Location Hectares Description Tenure Age o f buildings (Years) Bookvalue Year of acquisition/ revaluation*
A lot more valuable development land to monetize progressively. Just lock up my Bplant share and revisit in 6 months time . That’s my strategy to allow time for it ‘mature’.
