Neutral – Target Price RM8.38

“Bolstered by Lower CPO Production Cost”

Stripping out i) foreign exchange gain (RM2.9m) and ii) net fair value gain on investment securities (RM3m), Chin Teck Plantations posted 1HFY24 core earnings of RM36.3m, up 12.7% YoY. The better results were in line with our and the street full-year expectations, making up 46% and 56%, respectively. In view of the stronger-than-expected results, we raise our FY24-26F earnings projection by 7-8% to account for improved OER and lower production cost. Maintain Neutral with a higher TP of RM8.38. No dividend was declared for the quarter.
