Methodology

Hap Seng Plantations operates ~39K hectares of mature palm in Sabah, Malaysia — one of the smaller pure-play planters in the comp set. 2-row breakdown by named cluster: Tomanggong (Lahad Datu region flagship) + Bukit Mas + smaller estates. FY25 saw revenue and net income decline materially as CPO pricing softened, but land FMV is structurally stable vs the cattle-market-equivalent CPO cycle.
