Bumitama Agri's stock surged 3.30% during intraday trading on Wednesday, reflecting positive investor sentiment.
The Singapore-listed palm oil company's earnings momentum is expected to continue into the second quarter of 2026, following its outperformance against Indonesia-listed peers in the first quarter, according to DBS Group Research. Analysts note the company is well-positioned to manage rising fertilizer costs by stockpiling at relatively cheaper prices for the first half, benefiting from local sources.
Additionally, strong crude palm oil price gains are anticipated to be sustained due to its wide discount compared to rival soybean oil. DBS maintains a buy rating on the stock with a target price of S$2.30.
