Wilmar is scheduled to release its 3Q21 financial summary on 29 Oct 21. We are expecting a core net profit of US$450m-480m. Better performance is expected to come from plantation & sugar mills and feed & industrial products to offset the weaker margins of consumer products.

China Sunsine Chemical Holdings

ASP uptrend points to a stronger 4Q21F
