@ i3lurker, wellsaid.

I would say that ALL are aware that MrDIY share is only worth 15 sen

I would say that ALL are aware that MrDIY share is a controlled share

I would say that ALL are aware that MrDIY share is a con share

but BUT

most buy coz they expect the penny share controller can boost from 15 sen share to at least RM10.00 and maybe RM200.00 per share

later dive down to only 15 sen, they can only blame themselves for being a sucker. funny thing is expansion is banned for MrDIY,
its just a franchisee.

No expansion is allowed outside Malaysia and Brunei.

Top Glove downsizes Hong Kong IPO to raise RM4.17 billion instead of RM7.7 billion
------------------------------------------------------------------------

April 22, 2021 19:45 pm +08

KUALA LUMPUR (April 22): Top Glove Corp Bhd has downsized its Hong Kong Initial Public Offering (IPO) to raise RM4.17 billion, down from the initial sum of RM7.7 billion that was announced in September last year.

In a bourse filing, the glove maker said that it was cutting the number of shares allotted as part of the listing exercise to 793.5 million shares, from 1.495 billion shares initially stated.

“The revision to the number of new Top Glove shares proposed to be issued under the proposed issuance of new shares above takes into consideration the best interest of the existing shareholders of the company by minimising dilution to existing shareholders respective shareholding,” said Top Glove.

Extract from Supermax press release on prospects on following quarters-

"The Average Selling Prices (ASPs) are continuing to trend upwards and the highest ASPs have not been reflected in this current quarter. Natural rubber glove prices, which have been lagging its nitrile counterpart rather significantly throughout the pandemic, are beginning to gap up in tandem with rising demand as nitrile glove supply becomes more constricted by raw material supply constraints. We are optimistic that our OBM cum Distribution Business Model will exhibit even healthier & stellar performances in the coming quarters. "

Looks like SUPER is going to announce a PAT of at least RM1.48 billion soon.

Glorious Days in Gloves Sector Are Not Over Lah !
===================================
22 Apr 2021, 10:21 AM

In 1Q21, the glove makers such as Top Glove and Hartalega fell by 26.1% and 26.4%, respectively, Kossan Rubber plunged 28.4% while Supermax and Comfort Glove tumbled more than 36%. Meanwhile, Top Glove, Supermax and Hartalega also fell to their one-year low price of RM4.52, RM3.81 and RM8.91, respectively, to end 1Q21.

Despite the lackluster performance in the previous quarter, the rubber glove sector has seen making a comeback this month, showing that the glorious days may not be over just yet, due to the rising Covid19 cases in both Malaysia and globally. Investors who are bullish on Malaysia glove counters and want to gain leveraged exposure to these underlyings for a fraction of their share prices may consider Macquarie’s trending warrants such as ….

Rising in Covid-19 cases, blessing in disguise for glove makers

In 2Q21, rubber glove counters were among the top gainers in Malaysia; Supermax recorded the most gain since early April, up 45.4% based on yesterday’s closing price of RM5.54, followed by Comfort Glove (+43.8%), Top Glove (+20.6%) and Kossan Rubber (+20.6%). The recent rally in the glove counters could be due to the rising daily Covid19 cases which recorded more than 2,000 cases per day recently despite ongoing movement restrictions in most states in Malaysia, coupled with even stricter rules imposed by the Malaysian government amid the Malaysian Muslims’ anticipation to be able to go back to their hometown to celebrate Hari Raya with their families in couple of weeks’ time.

Gloves demand to stay above pre-Covid19 levels, said analyst

Earlier last month, an analyst from a local investment bank said that the plunge in share prices of Malaysian rubber gloves makers was “unjustified”. The analyst maintained an Overweight call on the sector as he believes that investors might have lost their confidence earlier due to the potential fall in selling prices of gloves on lower demand as more people are being vaccinated globally (CNBC, 9 March).

ASP will continue its upward trend - albeit gradual till end of 2021.

Margma president Dr Supramaniam Shanmugam (pix) said the estimated oversold (sold forward) quantity in Malaysia as at January 2021 is 160 billion gloves, equivalent to seven (6.86) months of production capacity, an improvement from 10-12 months in first-quarter 2020 (Q1’20) and Q2’20 at the height of the pandemic.

This long lead time situation is expected to persist until year-end.

*Kossan Briefing Key Takeaways*

*1. ASP is still increasing for 2Q.* April ASP is higher than March and is at the range of USD90-100 now. For 1Q, ASP realized is between USD80-85 (closer to USD80). No price guidance for 2H2021 but we believe any decline should be gradual as Kossan is coming from low base during the ASP uptrend.

*2. Sales volume should improve 5% QoQ in 2Q2021.* Although there is no capacity expansion in 2Q2021, incremental volume is expected as Kossan utilisation rate recovers to optimal level. In 1Q2021, volume improved 3% QoQ but was still below 3Q20. We believe that January production was below optimal level as it takes time to gain production momentum after the disruption in December due to high COVID-19 cases. Things are back to normal now and 2Q should see full quarter of optimal production level.

*3. To expand by 1.5bn ppa in July.* Plant 20 should start commissioning in July and this should increase its total capacity by 5% to 33.5bn ppa. Current production capacity is 32bn ppa.

*4. Making significant progress in ESG.* Kossan has achieved zero COVID-19 cases throughout its company in 1Q2021. This is a major improvement as compared to 990 cases detected in Dec-2020. Reason behind the achievement is from frequent testing on all of its employees. Note that every 2 weeks, Kossan will test 20% of their employees population with (Polymerase Chain Reaction) PCR test.

Tradeview Results Update - Kossan Q1 FY 2021

Kossan results is out. Surprising the market, the QR announcement was brought forward. Indeed, it is an exceptional results no wonder the management is eager to share the results with shareholders.

It is the highest record profit and revenue ever in their history. To put things into perspective, this quarter alone, the revenue exceeded RM 2 billion and stands at more than 50% of last full year results. On top of that, the net profit alone in this quarter is RM 1.04 Billion which almost exceeded full year results of QR 2020. The company cash balance stands at RM 1.25 billion and net cash of RM 800+ million after deducting borrowings.

How do you know if the results is mind blowing? Well, the analysts consensus forKossan FY 2021 net profit is RM 2.5 billion. In 1 quarter alone Kossan already did RM 1.04 billion which is 41% of the full year consensus. To add a cherry to the top, the management generously dished out 12 sens dividend in 1 quarter which translates to a dividend yield of 3.15% at current price of RM 3.80. All in all, as an investor in companies, one cant ask for more in terms of the delivery of earnings and performance by the company.

One more point to note, the average blended ASP of Kossan is not sky high like Supermax or Top Glove. Based on the calculation of their capacity of 28 billion pieces per annum, the average ASP is US 76 per carton. However, I am not sure if the actual capacity is now at 28 Billion or 32 billion. Taking 32 billion capacity, the ASP is USD 67. Taking a range of USD 67 - 76 ASP, Kossan is able to deliver record earnings. I shall leave it to investors to assess for themselves whether this is a strong financial performance or otherwise.

Post-pandemic, it said the demand for gloves will continue to undergo structural growth as a result of higher healthcare standards and hygiene awareness in both the medical and non-medical sectors.

@ omione- Thanks for the comment..

The stock market is all about sentiments. Fundamentals serve only as a safety net. Supermax has excellent fundamentals. Yet its stock price was sold down. But relax. When all the stars align, it will easily hit Rm40 and still dwell well within the fundamentals (albeit, if it isn't bought out by the American before that). In March 2020, Tesla share price was $40. One year later, it shot up to $900 based on nothing more than exuberance. If Supermax were to be trading with exuberance plus fundamental, the market makers would rocket its stock price well above Rm40. The narratives in favor of Supermax are coalescing for the coming rally. Shorting by JP Morgan could be positive. This story will be for another time. Hang on tight.

Mr DIY Borrowed from Banks to Pay Dividends.
-----------------------------------------------
RM500 million in cash dividend was paid out to shareholders in the last financial year prior to the planned IPO. This dividend payout was partially funded by borrowings. That is a 5% dividend yield on the proposed IPO price of RM1.60.
Near to mid-term dividend payout will definitely not be of similar yield.

IPO prospectus noted a dividend

Mr DIY's market cap is more than Genting Malaysia - Really?

GENM - RM 16 billion

MR. DIY- RM 25 billion.

Yes it's true - the Hardware shop is valued more then Genting- mind boggling.

A long list of related parties transactions and conflicts of interest were disclosed in the IPO prospectus.


A key one being, controlling shareholders hold controlling interest in entities for MR D.I.Y. branded retail operations elsewhere including Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, and more. They have also licensed the use of the brand to third party for retail operations in India.
These overseas operations are not consolidated into the current to-be-listed entity. The current to-be- listed entity only for MR DIY’ Malaysia and Brunei Business.

MDGM’s FY20 core PATAMI of RM349.9m (+6.8% YoY) was above both ours and consensus expectations at 107.6% and 111.0%, respectively.

The positive results surprise was due to better-than-expected SSSG and lower-than-expected effective tax rate. After factoring in slightly higher SSSG, our FY21/22 forecasts are increased by 2.0%/1.5%. Along with the rolling over our valuation year to FY22 (from mid-FY22), our TP rises from RM3.33 to RM3.81 based on an unchanged 40x PE multiple.


What are the omission/commission or highlighted/ignored by IB?

Why using unchanged 40XPE?

What will be the total addressable market in Malaysia and Brunei?

What will be the terminal growth rate?

With only 161.53 million shares going to retail investors is the current shares price CORNERED by the institutional investors?

Among the notable institutional investors in MR DIY’s IPO exercise are BlackRock, JPMorgan Asset Management, Aberdeen Standard, AIA, FIL Investment Management and Pictet Asset Management.

A) The total IPO offering is 941,490,000 shares or 15% stake on the enlarged number of shares post IPO, and the breakdown as follows:

753,090,000 existing shares to be sold by existing shareholders to Institutional Investors. Existing shareholders are exiting around 12% of their pre-IPO stake, by offering 753,090,000 existing shares to Institutional Investors.
188,400,000 new shares are issued to mostly Retail Investors (85.7% of the offering), with the IPO proceeds (RM301.4 million) being used to pare down borrowings (RM 276.1 million) and pay for IPO expenses (RM25.3 million).
This IPO is clearly more of an exit event for existing shareholders, than a fund raise for the next phase of growth

(B) 6 months share sale moratorium applicable for the remaining controlling stake held by the founder's family, via Bee Family Limited and:

Hyptis / Creador, remaining 15.2% stake (959,873 shares) post IPO can be sold of the market with the written consent of the Joint Book runners. (otherwise there is a 6 months restriction period post IPO)
Platinum Alphabet / Gan Choon Leng and Tan Gaik Hoon remaining 6.9% stake (433,842 shares) post IPO can be sold of the market with the written consent of the Joint Book runners (otherwise there is a 3 months restriction period post IPO)..

(C) Existing shareholders have paid themselves in favorable manner prior to the IPO.

RM90 million cash spent on purchasing MR D.I.Y. in Brunei, which consist of 4 stores. This was also partially funded by borrowings. This is equivalent to RM25 million per store. Compare that to the IPO pricing of RM14.9 million per store.
RM500 million in cash dividend was paid out to shareholders in the last financial year prior to the planned IPO. This dividend payout was partially funded by borrowings. That is a 5% dividend yield on the proposed IPO price of RM1.60.

And there are IBs such as AmInvest giving a TP of Rm4.48

Obvious AmInvest is PAID to give such a ridiculous TP.

Perhaps SC /BURSA should haul up AmInvest for misleading the investing Public.with such poorly presented report.

What is so good about DIY fundamentally? It was just listed and had a 2 qtr history of financial results. Which. MRDIY business fundamentals are better than supermx? Growth.rate for the past 5 years? Cash.position? Nett Margin, ROE? Future earning. potential? Technological advantages? Workdwide.customer base ? I cant see any of these can beat supermx. DIY is definetely.overpriced . If such a company with these fundamentals can have a PE.of 60 , then.supermx deserved a PE.of 100
