Recapping a disappointing quarter. Investors hoping for a turnaround in the fortunes of this sector would have generally been disappointed with the recent set of 2QCY12 results. In our opinion, Noble had the best quarter, with a yoy recurring net profit growth of 5% despite a delayed sugar crop at its Brazilian mills. Olam saw a 11% decline in recurring net profit on the back of weak numbers for industrial raw materials. Wilmar on the other hand, had another shocker of a quarter, with recurring net profit down 55% yoy, justifying our SELL call and our least preference within the sector. Source: Maybank Kim Eng
