Analysts at OCBC Investment Research (OIR), Maybank Securities and UOB Kay Hian (UOBKH) have maintained “buy” on Bumitama Agri (SGX:P8Z) while RHB Bank Singapore has downgraded the stock to “neutral” following the planter’s 1QFY2024 ended March results.

In her May 14 note, OIR analyst Ada Lim says Bumitama had a decent start to the year on higher sales volume. This is despite the 23% decline y-o-y in net profit due to foreign exchange headwinds from a stronger US dollar.  

For 1QFY2024, Bumitama’s revenue rose 7.7% y-o-y to IDR3.9 trillion, with crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel (PK) performing well.
