________________________________________________________________________________

Discussion:
1) In 10 years time, the EV / ha reduced 59% from RM64358 to RM37986.
2) The market price (EV / ha) for Sabah Oil Palm is around RM80000.
3) Base on EV calculation, HSPLANT is very cheap.
4) The FFB production for Year 2012 is 665812mT.
5) Now, the current 12 months FFB production is 572351mT.
6) HSPLANT said the FFB production for Year 2023 would be 670000mT.
7) However, an analyst is less optimistic, and predicted 630000mT.
8) HSPLANT has 60% Dividend Policy, YTD, the EPS is 23.94sen,
9) Already paid 5sen Dividend, Can expect at least 23.94*0.6-5 = 9.36sen.

i3gambler Now, Let say HAPSENG wants to take HSPLANT private or sell it off.

1) At market price, EV / ha = RM80000,
Then the share price = (0.08*35434+642-501)/799.69 = RM3.72 / share.

2) At cheaper price, EV / ha = RM70000,
Then the share price = (0.07*35434+642-501)/799.69 = RM3.28 / share.

3) At a very cheaper price, EV / ha = RM60000, (I think very unlikely that cheap)
Then the share price = (0.06*35434+642-501)/799.69 = RM2.83 / share.

calvintaneng PALM OIL SOLID EARNINGS & DIVIDENDS WILL SEE US THROUGH UNCERTAIN YEAR OF 2023, Calvin Tan
https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/www.eaglevisioninvest.com/2022-12-27-story-h-302762800-PALM_OIL_SOLID_EARNINGS_DIVIDENDS_WILL_SEE_US_THROUGH_UNCERTAIN_YEAR_OF

i3gambler https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/savemalaysia/2023-01-04-story-h-301980358-Undervalued_small_and_medium_cap_plantation_firms_potential_M_A_targets

In the above article, Maybank IB said a notable privatisation candidate is Hap Seng Plantations Holdings Bhd, as it trades at an attractive EV of RM33,255 per planted hectare, a P/BV of 0.81 times, and with net cash of 54 sen per share.
_______________________________________________________________________

1) Guess the possible offer prices and EV/ha.
HSPLANT was listed in 2007, the retail and institutional IPO prices were RM2.65 and RM3.05.
Let say HAPSENG now offer to buy back at RM3.05,
Then the EV/ha = (3.05*799.69m +501m - 642m) / 35434ha = RM64900/ha,
Still 19% cheaper than the market price of RM80000/ha in Sabah.
However, the offer price RM3.05 is already 58% higher than market price of RM1.93.
Retail investors should welcome such offer.
_______________________________________________________________________

2) HAPSENG afford to offer so or not?
They are now holding 556m HSPLANT shares,
Meaning there are only = 799.69m- 556m = 243.69m shares not owned by HAPSENG.
Therefore the amount required = 3.05*243.69m = 743m
Look at HAPSENG latest balance sheet, they have about 3000m cash and money market.
HAPSENG definitely can afford to privatize HSPLANT.
Then HSPLANT has cash and money market of 499m.
After fork out 743m, then get back whole lot of 499m, the net flow out is only 244m.
244m is chicken feed for HAPSENG.

7 sen

Could be more
Hs plant net cash now Rm505 million or more than 63 sen a share..since debt free it could certainly give a higher dividend

Unless it is looking to buy more palm oil estates by conserving cash

loneranger HL Bank Research highlights "Management indicated that dividend payout ratio will revert back to its normalised payout ratio of ~60% from FY23." I really wonder the management credibility, why the dividend policy can be manipulated so easily.
11/03/2023 11:05 AM
loneranger The management is not gentlemen and trustworthy indeed, simply adjust the payout ratio when knowing that they are going to pay more dividend due to good earning.
