SD Guthrie (ISIN MYL5285OO001) denied allegations on October 20, 2026 that subsidiaries or employees caused forest and land fires in Indonesia. KLSE Screener reported that the group reaffirmed its zero-burning policy, which has been in place since 1985, and its no-deforestation, no-peat and no-exploitation commitments.

Three events shape the story

KLSE Screener reported that on September 29, 2026, SD Guthrie's indirect associate entered a term sheet for a 21-year renewable energy contract linked to a solar project with minimum net capacity of 680 MWac. On October 16, 2026, Zonebourse reported September fresh fruit bunch production of 842,616 metric tonnes and crude palm oil production of 221,612 metric tonnes. The October 20, 2026 fire-related denial is the latest event in this sequence.

What does the 680 MW project mean?

The renewable energy project adds a long-duration earnings option beside plantations and downstream processing. Bintang Bisnis reported first-half 2026 revenue of MYR 9.633 billion, down 4.00 percent from MYR 9.986 billion, while profit attributable to equity holders rose 44.00 percent to MYR 1.547 billion. Industrial Development generated PBIT of MYR 529 million in the second quarter of 2026, showing why land monetization matters to the group mix.

Dates for the next checkpoints

The interim dividend is scheduled for payment on November 4, 2026, according to Zonebourse. Barron's lists November 19, 2026 as the reporting date for third-quarter 2026 results.

Valuation and business mix

Barron's listed an average target of MYR 7.78 from 16 ratings on October 22, 2026, against a delayed Bursa Malaysia quote of MYR 5.68. The same page showed market value of MYR 39.21 billion and a 52-week range of MYR 5.18 to MYR 7.00. For investors, the key comparison is between plantation output and the higher-margin industrial and energy projects being developed around it.

SD Guthrie keeps expanding beyond plantations

SD Guthrie's reported first-half profit growth and its 680 MW renewable energy project place diversification alongside the established palm oil business. The November reporting date will provide the next quantified test of that combination.
