UOB KayHian stays Overweight on the regional plantation sector, despite palm-oil prices taking the worst hit among edible-oils, dropping 38% from their peak, as demand fails to keep pace with production uptrends.
It expects the mismatch to persist until end-2012, with weather and policy changes the only price boosters; it notes CPO is at the greatest disadvantage among edible oils as production can’t adjust as quickly as annual crops such as soybean, rapeseed and corn.
“We expect a potential CPO price rebound towards end-2012 as production enters the low season and exports start to be drawn down from inventory.” UOB-KH keeps its 2012-2013 CPO price assumptions at MYR3,150/ton ($1,260/ton) and MYR3,400/ton respectively, noting most companies already locked in 2012 sales and should deliver MYR2,900-MYR3,100/ton gross average-selling-prices.
Pure upstream companies are most sensitive to CPO-price changes, it says, expecting Tradewinds Plantation and Kencana Agri to suffer most if CPO prices fall, partly on high production growth. It tips high-production-growth plays as able to mitigate price volatility, saying it likes First Resources and Bumitama. It expects Golden Agri could benefit from a CPO-price rebound as its stock has the highest CPO-price correlation. |
