Wilmar International (WIL SP) Better 2H19 Despite Soft Commodity Prices
We remain positive on Wilmar and expect better earnings in 2H19. Contributions from oilseeds & grains should improve as China’s soybean crushing margins have improved and we see a rise in festive sales volume from the food products division. The improvement in tropical oils’ PBT margins is expected to hold in 2H19 as well. With the sugar crushing season having started in June, we foresee positive contribution vs losses in 1H19. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$4.40.
