SRI LANKA - IT'S PLANTATION TIME NOW AT COLOMBO STOCK EXCHANGE

SECTOR           -     PLANTATIONS

SECTOR P.E.    -    12.50

MARKET P.E.   -    17.75

Plantation companies in the Colombo Stock Exchange are mostly undervalued at present. Specially if you take past couple of months, Plantation companies as a Sector substantially  under performed to the Overall market.

WHY PLANTATION SECTOR IS NOT ATTRACTIVE ?

• High Cost of Sales [ Labour cost,Fertilizer cost. etc]
• Volatility in Commodity prices in the market.
• Unpredictable weather conditions.

WHY PLANTATIONS ARE ATTRACTIVE NOW?

• Increasing Oil prices in the world market paved the way to increase the demand for Natural Rubber Products & Palm Oil products.
• Commodity prices are on the rebound presently.
• Most of Plantation companies are diversified.
• Sector which is substantially under performed to the market.
• Most of other sectors in the Colombo Stock Market are over heated now.
• Best strategy is to move away from heated speculative counters & to invest in plantations.
• Most of the share prices of other companies in the Colombo Stock Market are @ their highest levels reported for the past 5 to 7 years. But not the Plantations.

There are 18 plantation companies listed in Colombo Stock Market up to now.

Main income generating crops are

• Tea
• Rubber
• 0il palm

Apart from these core income generating sectors, many of listed plantation companies have diversified their business interest to the following areas as well.

 * Hydro power   * Tourism   * Forestry   *Investments   *Other cultivations  [Coconut, Perennial crops etc.]



 Note - * December Companies +

            * Profits including all other details of  HORANA & WATAWALA  Plantations were as at  31/12/09


BEST BETS IN THE MARKET

• Balangoda Plantation                                                                             
• Malwatte Plantation 
• Watawala Plantation
• Kotagala Plantation
• Namunukula
• Kegalle
• Kelani Valley
• Agalawatte
• Hapugastanne
• Maskeliya

SRI LANKA - WATAWALA PLANTATIONS LEADING THE WAY

Watawala plantations one of Sri lanka's top plantation company reported an impressive nine months profits as at 31/12/2009, despite the 40% wage hike over the period.

High tea prices, Rubber prices & High Palm oil prices in the world market contributed for the improved bottom line of the company.

The company is in a position to continue with the profitability in future as well through out diversification strategy, encompassing multiple crops, value addition,brand building etc.

The net assets per share as at 31/12/2009 reported Rs 77.90 as against Rs 67.74 reported for the same period in 2008.

Watawala share traded at Rs 120, its peak level in its history  at Colombo Stock Exchange on 29/01/2010.

We strongly believe that these type of improved profits can  expect from the other plantation companies as well in future.
