Pro
- Landbank is 450,000 ha (if fully planted will be world No 1)
- Total planted area is 150,000 ha, in which 68% is immature and less than 7 years old.
- Average palm oil age is <5 years old.
- from FY2017-FY2019 onwards about 68,000 ha of young trees will reach prime age, which will double CPO production
- Currently selling price values the company @ $4.4k / PLANTED ha (excluding landbank)
- Contrast this to Wah Seong wanted to invest in Ghana for $4k per ha (before planting)
Con
- Currently loss making for last 2Q due to low palm oil price and very high interest expenses
- Very high debt, very low cash reserve (need to keep borrow to service interest)
- HIGH risk of loan default
- Stopped planting activities since last year due to cashflow problem
- Felda is interested to buy
Disclosure : I have shares in BWPT bought during the downturn late last year
