Bumitama Agri (BAL SP) 3Q23 results: Beat expectations yet again
Key attraction lies with its high dividend yields 3Q23 results beat our/street estimates. Key outperformance was its better-than-expected sales on net inventory drawdown and lower-thanexpected fertiliser application. We expect a weaker QoQ performance in 4Q as output has likely peaked in 3Q, and as BAL has a normalised inventory levels as at end-Sept. Following our revised EPS forecasts, BAL remains a BUY with a higher TP of SGD0.94 (previously SGD0.89) on unchanged 8x FY23E PER, -0.5SD its 5Y mean. BUY for its single-digit PER with >7% dividend yields.

SEA (SE US) 3Q23: Results In Line; 4Q23 Could Be Better Due To Seasonality

We expect 4Q23 earnings to improve qoq with all segments seeing improvement during the festive season. However, e-commerce margin may remain low due to the high trade-off cost.
