Marine Product Manufacturing (MPM) current quarter sales increased 20% against corresponding quarter mainly due to higher export contribution of fishmeal, surimi and surimi-based products as a consequence of weaker Ringgit. MPM's current quarter sales increased 11% against preceding quarter mainly due to seasonal and export factor.
 
Palm Oil Activities (POA) current quarter sales decreased 7% against corresponding quarter mainly due to lower FFB processed and CPO price (RM2,018 vs RM2,205 corresponding qtr). POA's current quarter sales decreased 14% against preceding quarter mainly due to lower CPO price and lower FFB processed. Earnings increased 8% due to higher contribution from Associate (Boilermech Bhd).
 
Integrated Livestock Farming (ILF)s current quarter sales only increased marginally against corresponding quarter, even though volume of feed raw material traded was higher.
The marginal increase is due to impact of weaker Ringgit on imported feed cost being mitigated by drop in international feed raw material prices. However, earnings decreased 5% due to lower poultry farm produce prices in Peninsular Malaysia. However, earnings increased significantly against preceding quarter mainly due to overall improvement of egg price in Peninsular Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam.
 
 
 
Group’s resilient business model and defensive earnings warrant the group to be trading at a premium multiple of 23.8x for FY16. Also with favourable egg prices as well as lower raw material cost continue to buoyed the group’s earnings mitigating the slower POA division and impact of the weakening Ringgit. Moving forward growth will come from more capacity expansion of its strongest growth segment, the marine product manufacturing & new aqua businesses. Defensive BUY.
 
 
 
6) Market: Bursa will likely trade with a positive bias next week as foreign flows will be more encouraging with the US December rate hike been discounted coupled with the expected month-end support.
