Southeast Asia's Palm Oil Growers May See Higher 1Q Earnings -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
2025/05/14

0200 GMT - Southeast Asia's plantation sector is expected to post stronger 1Q earnings, supported by higher crude palm oil and palm kernel prices, RHB analysts say in a note. They forecast earnings for companies under coverage to be largely in line, although 1Q results may be flat sequentially due to seasonal output dips. Output is ramping up toward the peak season, and CPO's wide discount to rival oils is expected to spur buying, they say. RHB maintains its 2025 CPO price forecast at 4,300 ringgit/ton and views sector valuations as inexpensive. It maintains an overweight rating on Southeast Asia's plantation sector, noting that while near-term volatility is expected, the outlook remains constructive. Top picks include Johor Plantations, Sarawak Oil Palms, Bumitama Agri, London Sumatra Indonesia and SD Guthrie. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
