SGX:F34.SI:Wilmar International
RHB Bank Singapore maintains a “neutral” rating on Golden Agri-Resources and Wilmar International, while trimming their target prices. Golden Agri’s price target was lowered to 25 cents (from 26 cents), while Wilmar’s was cut to $2.80 (from $3.00). The investment house sees 2026 as a potentially more balanced year for the crude palm oil (CPO) sector, despite rising geopolitical volatility and external pressures such as US trade tariffs and weak crude oil prices.

SGX:E5H.SI:Golden Agri-Resources
For Golden Agri, RHB highlights that it is trading at 9x FY2026 P/E, the higher end of its peer range. Wilmar International, on the other hand, faces valuation pressure due to a pending corruption case and uncertain economic conditions. Its ESG score stands at 3.3 out of 4, versus Golden Agri’s 2.6.

Spot CPO prices, which fell to RM3,780 in May, have since recovered to RM3,900–RM4,100. Nonetheless, RHB forecasts lower CPO prices in 2025–2027 (RM4,100/tonne for 2025; RM4,000 for 2026 and 2027) while raising palm kernel price assumptions.

RHB keeps a “buy” rating on another unnamed plantation group—likely Teladan Resources—with a revised target price of $1.70 (from $1.85). The full impact of its consolidation with Austindo Nusantara Jaya is expected to be felt from 2H2025. The stock trades at 8x FY2026 P/E.

RHB expects global oils and fats supply to improve, with a partial recovery in palm, sunflower, and rapeseed output, and continued soybean growth. The stock-to-usage ratio is projected at 12.9% in FY2026, still below the historical 13.6% average, leaving little buffer for demand or supply shocks.

Despite short-term volatility, demand is expected to rebound from price-sensitive markets such as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The firm’s soybean oil (SBO) outlook remains firm due to rising US biofuel blending demand. CPO is expected to trade at a discount to SBO (currently at US$217/tonne).

SGX:H22.SI:Hong Leong Asia
China Yuchai International, a 48.7%-owned subsidiary of SGX-listed Hong Leong Asia, has adopted a new equity incentive plan to boost retention and motivation among its directors and employees. Approved at the July 8 AGM, the plan involves 1.8 million ordinary shares priced at US$0.10 (S$0.13), representing 4.58% of the enlarged capital.

This plan, valid until May 16, 2035, includes options, restricted stock, and stock payments, with employees eligible for up to 300,000 shares annually. The plan is governed by China Yuchai’s compensation committee and aligns with SGX Rule 843 as a share scheme.
