All three glove players under our coverage, namely Top Glove, Hartalega and Kossan Rubber, posted a stronger set of results in the recent quarter, mainly attributed to increased sales volumes. We believe the glove industry is entering a recovery phase, with uptick in demand as customers replenish their inventories. Additionally, recent development with the US imposing higher tariff rates on China’s surgical and medical gloves from 7.5% to 25% effective by 2026, is expected to divert orders from China to Malaysia. This was largely unexpected and coupled with the normalization of raw material prices and favourable USD/MYR exchange rate trend, we believe the sector is now out of the doldrums and hence, we upgrade the sector from Underweight to Neutral.
