IOI Corp.'s Earnings Likely to Rise in 1Q on Stronger Output -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-14

0126 GMT - IOI Corp.'s fiscal 1Q earnings are likely to be stronger, supported by higher output, improved palm kernel prices and stronger downstream profits, CIMB Securities analysts Ivy Ng Lee Fang and Lim Yue Jia says. They estimate the planter's 1Q core net profit at MYR280 million-MYR320 million, up from MYR242 million in the previous quarter. However, IOI's 1Q earnings could be partly weighed down by weaker profit from its 32%-owned associate Bumitama Agri, the analysts add. Bumitama Agri's potential earnings recovery in the next quarter on stronger production and higher crude palm oil spot prices could bolster IOI's 2Q earnings. The company's 1Q earnings are due Nov. 26. CIMB maintains a buy rating on the stock with a MYR4.38 target price. Shares are unchanged at MYR4.00. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
