The Leverage Question No One Wanted to Address

Unity’s debt-to-equity previously hovered near 240%. That alone places it in a structurally fragile category.

When Wilmar stated that Unity was struggling to service certain bank facilities, it confirmed what leverage ratios were already implying.

High debt + commodity exposure + tight liquidity = governance stress.

This is not about edible oil demand.
This is about funding discipline.


Governance Shock and Management Exodus

Bloomberg confirms:

• Founder and long-serving CEO resigned
• CFO resigned
• New CEO and independent directors resigned
• Board quorum lost

This sequence signals internal instability, not cyclical weakness.

Markets discount instability faster than earnings deterioration.

That is why the stock collapsed to multi-year lows.
