Bank of America Merrill Lynch has downgraded the world’s largest listed palm oil firm Wilmar International (WLIL.SI) to underperform from neutral and put its target price of $5.85 under review.
Wilmar’s fourth quarter earnings fell by 28% due to pre-tax losses in its oilseeds and grains business as a result of poor crushing margins and its less timely purchases of raw materials.
