Revenue from Palm oil activities (POA) +4% despite the sharp decrease in CPO price, mainly due to new sales contribution from Indonesian plantation operations. Earnings +36% due to lower losses from Indonesian plantation ops & contribution from Boilermech.  On it's Integrated livestock farming (ILF), revenue +8% due to higher volume of feed raw materials traded as well as higher farm produce prices. Earnings +26% due to improved farm produce prices as well as reclassification of associate Lay Hong Bhd to AFS Investment; Although we continue to like QL's healthy fundamentals and unique defensive business model & that its growth over next the few years remains intact, we believe much of its growth prospects have been priced in. Valuation appears rich at 22x FY03/16- Hold.
 
 
6) Market : With technical indicators already in the oversold region, we can expect some bargain hunting and cautious nibbling on defensive names. Trading range revised downwards to between 1750-1800 points with slight downside-bias on the lack of fresh catalyst and poor domestic sentiment.d2d
