public listed 1.2+. several years ago,. not making any losses so far.. if it is true privatisation. The price should be above rm1.20.. however how the story line work, we dont know..
Anything is possible. I may speculate the possibility of it being taken private cheaply. Stripped, monetise assets and relist again at in a few years time.
The news on possible takeover by third party is already published by the main media . Let us see if Boustead is coming out to deny it as it has done so quickly on BHPetrol .
I believe the potential takeover price by third party may be closer to $2.50 as I take into consideration the large track of development land that can be monetized for huge sum . The acquirer can recover a significant portion of the sum spent by monetizing some of the development land .
KLk takeover offer for ijmplant was based on 1.9x book value. On the same multiple , Bplant should fetch 1.9 x $1.30 = $2.47 . No doubt that Bplant’s plantations are in poorer condition. However, all its lands are in Malaysia where land cost is considerably higher (iJM has about half in Kalimantan). Additionally, Bplant has large track of high value development land in west Malaysia.
Unlikely LTAT will let go of BPlant and it's priceless land bank. It will be lost forever! Politically sensitive too. The only option will be to take it private. By that it can conduct it's business as usual and not tied down by listing rules.
Are we going to see volume turnover in the 50 millions like in 2020/2021?
Is this UMA? Bursa is silent. BPlant is equally silent. Left with are speculations. If BPlant is such a value buy, the Predators would have long bought up it's shares on the cheap. Not now. Haha
Apparently, the retailers are selling aggressively today and last week too. Who are the buyers for such large volume? I guess they are parties who knows what is going on .
KUALA LUMPUR (June 19): Boustead Plantations Bhd (BPlant) shot up as much as 12 sen or 13.48% to an all-time high of RM1.01 in Monday (June 19) morning trading, after The Edge Malaysia weekly, citing sources, reported that Boustead Holdings Bhd is planning to divest its 57% stake in the plantations group.
Year-to-date, it has risen 70.18% or 41.65 sen from 59.35 sen.
Meanwhile, 49.31 million shares traded hands, making BPlant the sixth-most traded counter on Monday. The volume of traded shares was almost 25 times its 200-day average of 2.21 million.
Boustead, which is in the midst of being privatised by Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT), is understood to have invited proposals on the sale of its stake in BPlant two weeks ago.
According to the weekly magazine, bidders include YTL Group, Wilmar International Ltd, IOI Corp Bhd and Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd.
you are not the first one who is asking this question
Bplant has gone up from 64 sen to Rm1.01 fast and furious and as such there will be stale bull and contra Kaki selling although "unknown parties" might be accumulating
So it will be very hard to determine human emotions
If you are short term then there is no guarantee but again if anyone can buy and hold then in the light of its deep deep value longer term Bplant still very ok
Fyi (for your info) I bought Bplant at 57 sen in year 2020 and it went up over Rm1.20 then it dropped near 60 sen again but no regret as I held on and now Rm1.01 again
3 years have come and gone swiftly
what will the next 3 years be for Bplant
Will it be taken private ? Will it go higher? Will it retrace back again?
The future is what?
Let it unfold for I shall hold on to see it's final enterprize value
