Stock has outperformed in the past month with a price gain of 13%, whereas its other Malaysian peers have been flat, while the Singaporean & Indonesian listed plantation companies are generally trading lower than a month ago. This divergence is also seen against CPO prices which have dropped about 10% over the past month. The apparent outperformance is due to brokers raising their value of Genp’s plantation land in Johor driven by the higher demands for commercial and industrial land there. However, the conversion of plantation land is a long-term process and the decision is normally made towards the end of the oil palm fruitful years, which is not in the near term, and even then there is the conversion of land application procedures which may be a drawn out process. Hence, the current price outperformance is an opportunity to take profit. In addition, Genp is trading at PER of 23.4x which is a premium to its counterparts and significantly higher than its 5-year average PER of 16.9x. Trading at such lofty valuations, there is no room for any surprises during results reporting season, hence Genp is susceptible to a sell off. This is a strong possibility as CPO is trading trading at 3-year low, closing at RM2,170/metric ton, and facing downward pressure from other competing substitute oilseeds like soybean and canola which are also breaking down due to the double whammy of increasing supplies & slowing demand. The analysts community has a mean forecast of RM2,500/mt built into their earnings model while ytd average CPO price is RM2,380/mt, hence it is likely that Genp will not meet its consensus earnings and analysts having to revise down their forecasts & price targets.  Bursa’s filings have also reported that a substantial shareholder, the civil service pension fund, has been a keen seller for the stock recently, likely capping the price in the short-term. Take profit and buy back at RM9.00 (21x PER).

TAKE PROFIT

Stock spiked up sharply from RM3.40 to Rm4.00 in a week on the back of bullish sentiments on small cap oil & gas counters, resulting in an overbought position for Uzma with a new high of RM4.09 but a clear negative divergence against its technical indicators which are quite a distance from their recent highs. Volume has also thinned signicantly indicating the tapering of buying momentum. Investors should take profit now before the expected pullback. Uzma has gained 168% ytd versus the KLCI’s 7% and is trading at the high end of the small cap o&g stocks PER band of 15x, higher than the average PER of mid cap o&g stocks of 13.7x. It is also trading at p/bk of 4.9x compared to its 5-year average of 2.6x. In addition, the Company’s filings to Bursa showed directors selling and placing out shares from the RM3.35 levels, ie 16.3% discount from current price. It has also exceeded its 12-month market consensus target price of RM3.75. Take profit
