The ratio of the medical staffs elsewhere in the world could be even lesser..malaysia is well known to have the best medical service in the world

poor countries like in India, Bangladesh which has the bulk of the population....definitely will be using cheaper alternatives and compromising quantities to save cost

i think the ratio is only applicable for western countries

the maths above + some common sense is blatantly proving the obvious

you chose the basis you want and derive it...but dont pluck it from the air!

the share price rise does not justify the max possible rise in earnings

if one is open enough unlike the ostrich hiding its head inside the bush...

things are crystal clear

Assuming the world's % of medical staff approximate Malaysia's is questionable to say the least.

but I can concur the conclusion derived. Share prices have seem to rise above fundamental.

6% revenue rise, may result with 10% profit rise. To be more precise 10% profit rise above the natural growth (10-15%) expected without covid by end of 2020 (compared 2019)...

meaning 20 - 25%

this is precisely the reason for a short burst in artificial demand where the sustainability will vaporize as quick as it came...

The medical staff practice : on how they use gloves and the frequency of replacements would not have changed from how it was before Covid generally

The only change is the number of new patients visiting worldwide medical facilities would have risen due to covid symptoms

looking at current daily case of 100k worldwide, say if its only 1 found infected for every 10 visitors, its only a rise of 1M visitors a day currently to medical facility

If each visitor caused 3 nurses and 1 doctor to use extra 8 gloves

The extra gloves used by medical staff worldwide is 8M/day

Even you make that rise by 5 times, you still end up with 40M extra gloves required per day

That is exactly as estimated above of 6.4% rise in global gloves demand, before considering market share of Malaysian gloves and gloves fraction of their product mix

the above means even all the medical staffs in the world (40M) use extra 10 gloves per day (compared to what they had done before covid), the rise in revenue of Malaysian gloves stock can max be only 30%.

the reality is only 10% max of the medical staff who would be in such a scenario may be just 5% (we are talking about the whole world as a continuous habit)..

which comes back to 3% rise again

market cap is overblown for sure

with this info of 65% market share, you need to discount further on the rise estimation by 35%. As the above derivation assumed 100% market share of medical gloves.


actual rise
= 6.4% (gloves demand rise) x (0.75 gloves fraction of company product mix) x (0.65 market share of the world)

= 3.1%

Malaysia is the world’s largest source of medical gloves, with a market share of about 65%.
In 2019, Malaysia exported about 182 billion glove pieces, accounting for $4.31 billion in revenue; this year, according to the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association, the figure could go as high as 240 billion pieces.

remember also that these gloves stocks revenue from gloves could only be 75% of their product mix

meaning even if the gloves demand rise by 10%, you need to discount 25% on that to see the actual revenue growth (7.5%) of these glove stocks

same way demand for gloves could be overestimated by the media...due to momentary panic by the whole world...due to stocking by general public

Total Medical staff in Malaysia: 200,000

https://www.statista.com/statistics/604792/number-of-medical-staff-in-malaysia-by-type/

For Malaysian population of 32,000,000 (32M)

Say for world population 6,400,000,000 population (6.4 B world population who are in it need), you can estimate medical staffs:

= 40,000,000 (40 Million only!)
.....................

Malaysia gloves production capacity is 225,000,000,000 per year.i.e
= 616,000,000 per day (616 M)

Even if each medical staff in the whole wide world need additional 1 set of gloves per day from status quo (bear in mind gloves were commonly used before covid), it only raises the demand by 40/616 = 6.4%

DAMN THIS IS SHOCKING INFORMATION...

ONLY 6%!!! STOCK rose 60%??

ARE DISPOSABLE POLYETHYLENE GLOVES SAFE?

https://www.debralynndadd.com/q-a/disposable-polyethylene-gloves-safe/

Question from Bonnie
Hi Debra,

I do not want the nitrile or latex dish gloves. Amazon sells polyethylene disposable gloves. Are these safe? I saw a web site that stated polyurethane gloves are also made. I read the latex gloves can have other additives, are they unsafe?

Thank you.

Debra’s Answer
Both polyethylene and polyurethane gloves are safe. I’m very happy to see this.

The info was taken from here:

Table 2 – Top Global Manufacturers and Producers of Nitrile Gloves based on Industry Research’s 2019 Global Market research report

https://www.thomasnet.com/articles/top-suppliers/nitrile-gloves-manufacturers-and-suppliers/

Frankly what the revenue of 10.8 Billion consist of - i am not sure.

But if you see their products on YTY group website i cannot find much other than gloves:

https://www.ytygroup.com.my/nitrile-examination-gloves/


perhaps the 17B glove capacity is still fetching the revenue stated with exceptional margins.

If i understand correctly , YTY group is part of Indorama group and not the other way round.

The revenue did refer to YTY group only.

First coronavirus vaccine could be ready by September in time for possible second wave, China health boss claims

https://www.the-sun.com/news/734425/china-coronavirus-vaccine-ready-september/

Could the world have a coronavirus vaccine by September?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8262645/Vaccine-September-Oxford-team-run-promising-trials-monkeys.html

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/oxford-university-coronavirus-vaccine-trials-covid-19/

For the Oxford Team, the million or so doses will be manufactured by partners in Britain, Europe, India and China, Prof Hill revealed.

And if the vaccine proves to be successful then the team will apply for "emergency use approval" to roll out the inoculation programme immediately.

“All this work has been done unusually quickly,” Prof Hill admitted. But the team is confident the vaccine will be a success.

“There's always an unknown. We can never be certain that these vaccines will work,” said Prof Gilbert. "But personally I think it has a very strong chance of working.”
