which divvy counter has the best prospects for now? I am looking at PANAMY

All I can say is TDM is a great buy if you bought it below RM3. Currently quite expensive in terms of their historical valuations and will only stay this high as long as the CPO price does not collapse below RM3000. Just announced 18.5 sens dividend.

TDM aren't really planting new fields for expansion although they have plans to do so. Meaning their profit growth is due to CPO price. So as long as CPO prices hold, they can maintain their profits but it won't grow without reason.

Yeah expected results to be lower because if you checked their 3 months production from Jan to March, it is lower than last years Jan to March production. Also prices are softer then, but this quarter might see some improvement as prices have stayed above RM3200, only left to see their production figures.

If you are looking to buy TDM, you might timed it after their dividend Ex-date because prices ex dividned tend to be weaker for some reason as investors lose interest in it and traders start dumping if no activity. So there is a chance Share will dip below RM4.20 range ex dividend.
