Quarterly Analysis for Big 4 (Plantation Companies)


The financial report for the latest quarter (period ended on 30.06.2012) has been announced. Below is some analysis I’ve done to compare the performance of IOI with the other big plantation companies in Malaysia. In this analysis, I used net profit margin as a basis of comparison in performance. In this regard, IOI is doing well as compared to others with 11% net profit margin versus 9.3% for KLK, 8.2% for Sime Darby & 6.2% for Felda. Generally, the performance for all these companies are declining as compared to same quarter 2011 due to lower CPO price and challenging economic environment. But I would say plantation based companies are doing well and resilient in challenging environment as they remain recording healthy profitability quarter after quarter. I would conclude that plantation industry (and generally agriculture industry) is recession proof industry as demand for the product remain the same due to necessity factor. Overall, I'm very happy with IOI performance as compared to the competitors.
