IJM Plantation reported its earnings and I thought it was impressive.
Quarterly earnings grew some 40% on a q-q and it was up a whopping 137% on a y-y basis.

Dividend Omitted OmittedI was just reading OSK Research report on IJM Plantation.
The first paragraph caught my attention.
- Below expectation. IJMP’s annualised 1QFY08 earnings of RM12.6m was 58.8% below our full year forecast of RM121.2m and 54.3% consensus estimate. We are nevertheless expecting strong numbers in the subsequent 3 quarters to make up the shortfall. We are happy with the strong improvement in IJMP’s 1Q earnings, which jumped by 40.3% q-o-q and up by 137.5% from the same quarter last year on sharply higher CPO prices coupled with production growth.
This very statement caught my attention. IJMP’s annualised 1QFY08 earnings of RM12.6m was 58.8% below our full year forecast of RM121.2m and 54.3% consensus estimate.
OSK earnings forecast for IJMP's this fiscal year is a whopping 121 million!
Last fiscal year IJMP only managed a net earnings of 43.9 million.
Don't you think that this earnings forecast is simply too optmistic? And more so, considering that IJMP only managed a very impressive earnings of 12 million for its first quarter of its fiscal year 2008.
