Wilmar International's stock surged 3.32% during Monday's intraday trading session, showing significant upward momentum.
The price movement follows a positive analyst note from CGS International's Jacquelyn Yow, who expects Wilmar to deliver more stable earnings in the second and third quarters. According to the analysis, higher crude palm oil and sugar prices are expected to support the company's profits, while its soybean-crushing margins are likely to outperform peers.
Additionally, the analyst noted that margins in Wilmar's feed and industrial segments should remain resilient, buoyed by the Singapore-listed agribusiness' strong procurement and hedging capabilities. While margin gains may be capped by rising costs and limited pricing flexibility in the consumer packed food segment, the overall outlook appears positive for the company's near-term performance.
