Is There A Possible Reason For Golden Agri to be trading Cheaper than their peers?

3 articles back, we mentioned that Golden Agri was on our radar for its darn cheap valuations as compared with their peers. On 9 October 2008, Money Mind on Channel News Asia featured an analyst from Royal Bank of Scotland who commented on a SELL on Palm Oil counters (think he also said palm oil prices have bottomed....then why sell?????Damn Bazaar!) but he mentioned that Golden Agri was a BUY due to its relative valuation. Today, our hot sexy "oracle" gave us the latest issue of THEEDGE magazine to read. In it, there was an article write-up on Indo Agri and a short little comparison on the players in the Agri field.( Reproduced here for your benefit) So what is the reason for this stock to be so undervalued relative to its peers. We decided to investigate and could only think of a possible reason, that investors were pricing in a cheaper stock due to the not so favourable history of its management. Read here here to find out more.

Anyway, based on some simplistic technical analysis, this stock has been trading very heavily and their bolliger bands are narrowing, which could mean a possible larger price movement in the coming days.
