Re EPS, there is approx 2.5 Billion non cash forex loss which amounts to approx 13 rupees per share. thus actual eps is close to reported cash earnings per share of Rs 30. furthermore, change in fair value of biological assets is a loss and is non cash. so, these non cash deductions from cash profits tend to understate eps and overstate p/e.
Re Debt, is increasing only because the USD debt raised in Singapore, is incurred in Indonesia in Rupiah which has depreciated 40 % in last 2 years against the USD. so technically, whilst they are better off i.e. all sales of palm oil in usd to settle usd debt, but local value add in indonesia in rupiah depreciating, the accounting conventions require them to mark to market all o/s usd debt and thus in accounting translation, results in a non cash loss in rupees in income statements and increases debt in balance sheet and thus shrinks the balance sheet, lowering NAV.
All these are Accounting illusions :-)
Re Low Dividends - they are aggressively re-investing their earnings and growing their businesses. The Juggernaut is rolling. In 15 years they have created a palm oil empire. has their ever been a rights issue ? they have used their internally generated funds ( and debt) to develop 80,000 hectares + downstream business in 15 years.
Only companies that have no use for their retained earnings should return cash as dividends to shareholders.

They have once mentioned the fact that they never went for a rights issue and they use internally generated funds for growth..
Appreciate and agree with all above in your post.

Having a oil palm empire has created a negative impact with world oil price plunging.

As above charts predict the positive relationship with Crude Oil and Plam Oil, Carsons Palm Oil empire will have a tough time ahead...

Re: CARS.N0000 Carson Cumberbatch PLC
& this only tells you half the story. Its all about the Ringitt. see, since CPO is denominated in Ringitt but transacted in Dollars, the 30 % decline in the Ringitt (in the past 18 months) has hurt CPO producers as they get 30 % less Dollars per ton of CPO regardless of Ringitt CPO prices.
This means that even if CPO in Ringitt is down, but the Ringitt strengthens against the Dollar, it is great for them.
and their comming results HAS to be good :-).
can anyone guess why ? so BUKI under 400 is a steal.. but who knows, price could come lower for non-fundamental reasons.
Buki @ 400 is usd 275 mill company. it owns 90 odd million shares in CARS + 35 % of a potentially 1.5 Billion dollar Palm Oil conglomerate. you can do the math.
and they are not about to collapse anytime soon. ok they may have a few not so good years but they will always make money. Remember LION too.
so, dont be fooled by charts. they sometimes give random patterns of correlations and its easy to make over simplified decisions based on them.
i guess MR learned the hard way :-)

Re: CARS.N0000 Carson Cumberbatch PLC
Thanx for your prompt comment and I know that you are an expert on Carsons...
I hope your expectation of coming results will be more accurate since you study this company in detail..

Re: CARS.N0000 Carson Cumberbatch PLC
There is a fact that I like to argue with you. My understanding is out of all trend lines the Base Line is crude oil.
I can remember before 2008 grain price bubbling UP , BFL in its annual report predicted such movement and took precautionery actions..
Anyway since I like to keep Carsons thread for Carsons only, lets argue on this matter later in a sperate thread..
For the time being

Re: CARS.N0000 Carson Cumberbatch PLC
i'm sure we can find a perfect negative correlation between oil prices and cigarette prices if we look hard.
The fact is in the 4-5 months, palm oil prices are up 15-20 % and crude oil prices are down ? % ?
common sense tells me that that declining oil prices DECREASES inflation and puts more cash in consumers pockets to consume food based consumer staples.
Crude oil prices impact palm oil through the 10 % biodesiel offtake. weather patterns, price, inflation & consumption determine palm oil prices.
and anyone want to bet oil will go back upto usd 50 per barrel sometimes in 2016 ?

Maybe feed the two Selvas some palm oil and get them to die soon, that's the only way to get the value.
