Kim Loong's milling margins set to recover
The research firm said the earnings recovery from 4Q25 is envisaged to be underpinned by higher milling margins and a rebound in the supply of fresh fruit bunches (FFB).
'We believe that Kim Loong would be raising its milling processing charge by RM15 per tonne in 1Q26 to account for an increase in sustainability compliance costs.
'On a yearly basis however, we think that its net earnings would be flat in 1Q26 as a small drop in FFB production is offset by stronger palm product prices,' the research house said.
'We maintain 'buy' on Kim Loong for its decent dividend yield of more than 6% and pure exposure to crude palm oil prices,' said AmResearch, which has a RM2.75 fair value on the stock.

FAM still RM7 million short of annual sponsorship target
KUALA LUMPUR: The FA of Malaysia (FAM) has revealed it is still about RM7 million short of its annual sponsorship target of RM15 million. FAM marketing and sponsorship committee chairman Datuk Hisamudin Yahaya said the body had so far raised between RM7 million and RM8 million from sponsors, but stressed the funds were vital for the smooth running of the association and the national teams' preparations for major tournaments. "We are confident of reaching the RM15 million target even though there are only four months left. "We will receive more from other companies. What matters is we are working towards the one-year target set by FAM president Datuk Joehari Ayub," he said. Hisamudin was speaking at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya on Wednesday during the announcement of 100PLUS renewing its partnership with the association. The isotonic drink brand will remain FAM's Official Isotonic Drink Partner for another two years in a deal worth RM2 million. Also present were FAM deputy presidents Datuk Yusoff Mahadi and Datuk S. Sivasundaram. "The funds are for management expenses and the national teams. Based on our plans, we are confident of hitting the target within the period," Hisamudin added.
