Olam unlikely to achieve its US$ 1b profit target: Nomura

Nomura dispels Olam's claim that current assets should be able to contribute ~65-70% of the target by 2016.

Here's more from Nomura:

Surprisingly, management stuck to its 2016 plan to achieve US$1bn PAT (CAGR of ~38% from FY12) and said that current assets should be able to contribute ~65-70% of the target (even if they achieve US$650-700mn, it should be 17% CAGR). We still believe it is unlikely, but we maintain asset momentum may pick up in one to two years, which should lead to growth trajectory.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
