pBlue The two viruses can infect the same person, even the same cell. However they cannot swap genetic material. The structure of their genes are too different... the same way you cannot get a cabbage to breed with a mouse.

A double infection would make a bad situation worse. However we will be spared any strange hybrids of the two viruses.

pjseow RHB is the only analyst used DCF to compute tgt price which is 9.50. The question of what PE.and which year earning to use.to compute tgt price should not arise since all future earnings.from 2021 till infinity are considered . We can only question their profit assumptions , discount and growth rates after.2023. In my opinion, the assumption of 2023 earning.at.4.478 billion is on the high side and the terminal growth.rate of 1 % is too low . The discount.rate of 7 %
is fair .
19/09/2020 10:51 PM

Terminal growth rate 1%...they must out of touch...at least 3%.

A slight changes of discount n terminal rates...the said Intrinsic value at present will be much different...even Buffett n Munger came out with different valuation... that's they never talk so much about DCF.

Fong Zhin Bok Covid 19 virus and H1N1 virus will be present at the same this winter. Both of the virus will infect the same cell and exchange genetic materials while consuming the DNA of the infected human host cell. Therefore, the next generation of Covid 19 or H1N1 virus will be the hybrid of the two virus.

The next generation of virus will have the following property:
a) transmitting rate is same as Covid - 19 virus, 10 times of transmitting rate than H1N1 virus.
b) mutation rate is same as H1N1 virus, higher than the Covid-19 virus.

Yup...many people just lazy to analyse deeply...and take responsibility when they invest. They never monitor their investment. Never try to understand the financial statements. That's very high risk. So if something went wrong they blame those who said buy. They never ask themselves what are their weakness n mistakes. That's why there are people blaming here n there...but never blame themselves. Never analyse where are the mistakes, n don't do it again. Sometimes I just keep quiet, but today, since few good guys are analysing, I just say something. Keep on learning anyway.

humongainz Now, instead of thinking of investing TG as primarily a glove company, if you intend to go long, ask yourself this question, would you invest in a company specializing in an array of different rubber/healthcare related products, in Malaysia where they are just primed to do so. I predict that the next factories to be built in Thailand and Indonesia as they had expressed the intention of owning their own rubber plantations to reduce volatility of rubber pricing and shortages. Another good reason to build factories/plantations over there would be the wider sales channel besides lower overheads. In fact, Vietnam is one of the cheaper places for this, so Lim must have this in mind oso, assuming he is a visionary. Then again, he actually built factories before pandemic started, so I don't know, everything seems to be just lined up for him.

Then again, better for them to just their name to TG, instead of TopGlove, must nicer sounding for a more diversified business.
19/09/2020 6:11 PM

I think Tan Sri Lim, already had a small rubber plantation in Southern Thailand. Small plant processing natural rubber. Maybe he can collaborate with Petronas to build more synthetic rubber manufacturing plant in Malaysia. That's will benefit it's nitrile gloves cost of production n margins. I think he will, because this two years, he got the free cash flow.

19/09/2020 5:47 PM

Normally a ten years average earnings growth of 25% is okay. 5 years much higher. 2.5 years very much higher. So we focus less than 3 years... that's 2.5 years. So the the earnings growth very high. I can slap a 50x PE multiple for all glove counters...no problem. Any PE below 50x is consider reasonable. That's below 3 years average, because of present Covid19 maybe other type of bacterial infections, etc. So at present TopGlove is selling at below 35x PE it's okay for u to invest...ask yourself...if not don't buy...if yes just buy. What so difficult.

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 18): The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (MARGMA) has called for vigilance over unscrupulous individuals or companies masquerading as representatives of big bonafide manufacturers.

Its president, Denis Low Jau Foo, said the association has urged its members to be proactive in tracking down scammers with the assistance of the police and private investigators.

“This act is clearly tarnishing the image of the industry and Malaysia. It has an adverse effect on the global trade economy,” he said in a statement today following a recent report by the Wall Street Journal about fake medical gloves being peddled in the United States.

At the same time, he called on buyers, distributors, and importers to understand that genuine manufacturers are doing their best to supply adequately, unlike the opportunist middlemen who exploit with fake promises.

“This industry is a mature and well-established industry where businesses and regular buyers are aware of genuine manufacturers, while newcomers are susceptible to scammers,” he said.

Low added that the supply and demand dynamics are lopsided due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the industry is doing its best to churn out as many gloves as possible to meet the extraordinary demand across the globe.

MARGMA members are being hampered by several factors to make more gloves, and the major stumbling blocks causing the bottleneck are the huge shortage of workers and raw materials, he said.

“According to our calculations, the industry could lose out on the opportunity to export more than 80 billion pieces of gloves in 2020 by not having enough workers. This translates to about RM7.6 billion in export revenue for Malaysia,” he said.

Hence, he asked the Government to allow a reasonable number of foreign workers to work in factories.

He said approximately 40 percent of the workforce are locals who hold leadership, professional and technical positions, and this group is highly paid.

“We seek the Government’s support to ensure that enough local workers are available to sustain this top 40 percent bracket,” he said.

On the business side, Low said MARGMA is revising its export revenue projection for 2020, from RM21.8 billion to RM29.8 billion, based on the performance in the first half of the year.

“MARGMA projected that in the next six months, the export revenue is expected to touch RM18 billion. The quantity is estimated to reach 130 billion pieces of gloves.

“For 2021, MARGMA estimates that our annual export revenue should touch RM33.8 billion, with quantity increasing to 270 billion pieces,” he said.

Whether the demand for gloves would continue to be as strong as it is now, Low said it could take several years for the industry to fulfil the demand as it stands today.

“A sizeable factory would take 18 to 24 months to churn out three to four billion pieces of gloves per annum, and it requires about RM200 to RM250 million to build such a factory.

“Engineering and material support must also expand in tandem, otherwise, they would not be able to cope with the expansion programme,” he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Top Glove Corp Bhd has earmarked RM8 billion for capital expenditure (capex) over the next six years, indirectly brushing aside concerns over a glove glut or fiercer competition from new entrants.

The massive capex was disclosed after Top Glove posted its best ever full-year net profit and revenue.

The group's net profit surged to an all-time high of RM1.87 billion in the year ended August 31 2020 from RM364.68 million previously.

This came on tne back of a record revenue of RM7.24 billion, a significant increase from last year's revenue of RM4.8 billion.

Top Glove has recommended a final dividend of 8.5 sen per share, amounting to a payout of RM691.8 million. This brings the total financial year dividend payout to 11.8 sen per share, amounting to a total payout of RM961.2 million.

The total dividend of 11.8 sen represents an increase of 9.3 sen or 373 per cent over financial year 2019, which is a net profit payout ratio of 51 per cent.

Top Glove executive chairman Tan Sri Dr Lim Wee Chai said the capex would be invested in several key areas including new capacity, enhancement of existing manufacturing facilities, Industry 4.0 initiatives, a gamma sterilisation plant, land bank for future expansion, IT upgrades, as well as workers' facilities.

"The expansion of its production line over the six years will add 100 billion pieces per annum to the group's production capacity from the current 85.5 billion pieces per annum.

"For financial year ending August 31, 2021, the company is planning to invest RM1.9 billion in capex to build new factory, buy new machinery and acquire land," he told reporters and analysts during a virtual briefing of Top Glove's 2020 performance yesterday.

Managing director Datuk Lee Kim Meow said the sizeable capex was allocated to meet the growing market demand for its glove products and the company's optimism on the increase in average selling prices (ASPs) moving forward.

Lee said the average ASP for nitrile gloves was at US$70 per 1,000 pieces and US$45 for latex gloves.

"In October, the group expects a 30 per cent increase in ASPs for nitrile gloves and a five per cent increase in latex gloves ASPs, with a potential on another 10 per cent increase for both glove products beginning November onward," said Lee.

He said with Covid-19, Top Glove had estimated that glove demand would grow by 20 per cent per annum in 2020, 25 per cent in 2021 and 15 per cent post-Covid-19.

Meanwhile, Lim said Top Glove was planning to list on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in the next six to nine months, as it eyed for expansion beyond Malaysia and Singapore shores.

He said the company was in talks with bankers to find the most suitable method to go for listing in Hong Kong.

Besides Malaysia, the company is also currently listed on the Singapore Exchange.

Top Glove's American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is also available in over the counter exchange in the US.

"We always think big and dream big, in hope of achieving big. As you know, Hong Kong stock exchange has a market capitalisation of US$5.5 trillion, which is 10 times of Malaysia or Singapore.

"This is a big market and we always look to higher value add in bigger market. Similar to our glove business, we would like to create demand for our shares and there are demand for it (in Hong Kong) — it is a good direction for us," Lim said.

Despite announcing the strong results, Top Glove closed 64 sen lower on Thursday, or 7.59 per cent, at RM7.79.
