Bplant have the highest revenue compare to tsh and hsplant. Problem are income are lowest, most likely management team or buy expensive ummo part eat up all the revenue.
Parksonguy, perhaps u could compare the financial statements of both bplant and hsplant? The main difference between both companies are as follows:-
1. High interest charges due to loan taken to buy Sabah land by bplant 2. High depreciation charge due to more lands hold by bplant. 3. Recognition of gain on fv of biological assets by hsplant.
If you take out these 3 factors they have more of less the same profit margin. Conclusion- it boils down to lower yield from Sabah and Sarawak land. Hsplant have a yield of 21/hectare, bplant yield is 11/hectare.
Bplant bought thier Sabah new estate's planted land in 2018 when CPO Prices was at the bottom pit. Technically BPlant should now be reaping the windfall profit {CPO prices hitting the new highs for the past 10 months} with higher production & higher selling price
Plantermen, agreed... but they really have to work on their yield... Prai land sold for Sabah, small piece in exchange for way bigger piece land... they are actually having lots of potential, just need to be managed carefully n they can deliver handsome dividend in future, if CPO price can sustain... loan must be pared down first...
buying Sabah land is a mistake , that causing Bplant down fall. why they bought at such a high price, only god and management know....ikan bilis became scapegoat...
Nope, for reference u can always look at jtiasa. Normally these 2 are abang adik, for past few days these 2 have been sold down. So I personally think it’s not due to results but same bunch of ppl taking profit.
Please lah. Dont share wont info. Every yrs, auditor will audit the company land price. Not suka suka put over cheap or overrated. Land price of the company are the lastest.
Diff type of industries value land & properties differently... even if same industry, the intention of the management dictates the valuation. Very surprised tht this kind of comments comes up...
Depends u comparing the book value or fair value... Most companies will not opts for fair value as it req huge valuations fees especially the land banks is big
Personally I think they don’t want their profit to fluctuate each time fair value moves... rather better to have a lumpy profit whenever the land are being sold...
Apart from REITS, I don't think it is a common practice for companies to revalue their fixed assets regularly and book the gain, if any. Only when the fixed assets are yielding negatively, revaluation and impairment to the asset may be necessarily carried out. All plantations companies don't revalue their lands unnecessarily unless for disposal reason .
