Johor Plantations posts higher net profit of RM75.93mil in 1Q25
The surge in net profit was attributed to higher crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel (PK) prices, according to the group in a Bursa Malaysia filing today.
Revenue rose to RM340.43 million in 1Q 2025 compared to RM294.91 million in the same period last year.
"Meanwhile, earnings per share (EPS) in the quarter increased to 3.04 sen from 2.45 sen a year ago," JPG said in a statement today.
It also stated that CPO delivery declined to 56,203 tonnes in 1Q 2025, compared to 62,925 tonnes in 1Q 2024, and PK delivery dipped by 4.6 per cent, in line with the industry trend.
The company said despite lower production volumes, it continued to deliver strong financial results, driven by a 22.2 per cent increase in the average realised CPO selling price, a 65.2 per cent rise in PK selling price, and a higher selling price premium recorded during the quarter.
"The group's average CPO selling price stood at RM4,969 per tonne, reflecting a premium of RM236 per tonne over the Malaysian Palm Oil Board's (MPOB) average price.
"PK also commanded a premium, with an average price of RM3,898 per tonne, RM269 per tonne above the MPOB reference price," it said.
JPG declared an interim dividend of 1.00 sen per share for the quarter, payable on June 24, 2025.
The group remains cautiously optimistic about its operational plans and production discipline to sustain resilient performance, given the elevated stock levels and the gradual recovery in demand.
"While CPO prices may continue to face near-term pressure amid broader global uncertainties, the group maintains a prudent outlook and is strategically positioned to capture value as market fundamentals strengthen in the quarters ahead," it said.

CPO futures expected to trade with downward bias next week
KUALA LUMPUR: The crude palm oil (CPO) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives is expected to trade with a downward bias next week due to profit-taking from the recent rally. Interband Group of Companies senior palm oil trader Jim Teh said the palm oil stock in June is high, at about two million tonnes; hence, prices are expected to trade in a tight range between RM3,800 per tonne and RM3,900 per tonne next week. "The physical demand for palm oil would come from China, India, Pakistan, the Middle East and European countries," he told Bernama. Similarly, palm oil trader David Ng said the rising output and stock levels of CPO in Malaysia will be the market focus next week. He said Russia's announcement on the suspension of export duty for sunflower oil, as reported, might have a short-term impact on CPO prices. "We expect prices to trade between RM4,150 per tonne and RM4,300 per tonne next week," he said. On a weekly basis, the August 2025 contract slid RM41 to RM4,221 per tonne, while the September 2025 contract shrank RM51 to RM4,258 per tonne, and the October 2025 contract shed RM42 to RM4,273 per tonne. The November 2025 contract inched down RM22 to RM4,283 per tonne, December 2025 remained unchanged from last week at RM4,290 per tonne, and January 2026 gained RM15 to RM4,290 per tonne. The weekly trading volume shrank to 385,858 lots from 555,657 lots last week, while open interest went down to 229,303 contracts from 237,735 contracts. The physical CPO price for July South was RM60 lower at RM4,230 per tonne.
