Glove industry buying a lot from them. Raw material cost now cheaper with the oil price slump. Nett profit had increased substantially. Potential company i suppose.
Luxchem has a strong market reputation and established record with over 700 customers in 14 countries.
Its revenue segment can be segregated into four divisions equally divided into: (i) rubber, (ii) latex, (iii) coating, and (iv) FRP. This also means that half of the group’s revenues are derived from the rubber glove industry.
>A resilient play for its defensive earnings. Nearly half of its earnings are derived from the defensive rubber glove industry, based on rubber and latex segments. As it is a one-stop centre, all the rubber glove makers are customers of LUXCHEM, which is able to supply a full range of additives and chemicals.
>Defensive play. The company is generous with dividends.Given its steady earnings growth coupled with above average yield of 4%-5%. The dividend yield is based on 50% payout, which is in line with the company’s unofficial dividend payout policy.
Financially, the company has a strong balance sheet. In 3QFY15, LUXCHEM has a healthy set of balance sheet with RM106.75m cash or RM51.98m net cash.
Luxchem : Leader in supplying nitrile and related chemical additives for glove producers.
The emerging trend in the industry is favourable to Luxchem Corp Bhd, which supplies nitrile (synthetic latex) to glove producers, such as Hartalega Holdings Bhd, Top Glove, Supermax, and Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd.
Glovemakers are on investors’ radar but not Luxchem.
According to its customers, Topglove, Supermax, and Kossan are dedicating more of their production lines to nitrile gloves.
>Topglove
Topglove is increasing its product mix from purely a latex-based gloves producer into the higher margin nitrile gloves. In its latest quarter report,Top Glove continues to increase its nitrile segment contribution, which grew by 8% pts from 24% in 1QFY15 to 32% in 1QFY16.
>Supermax
In its latest quarter report,Supermax operating margins helped by stronger USD and better sales mix (i.e. increased sales of higher margin nitrile products). Growth going forward is expected to be driven by two new plants. The building structures for Plant #10 and Plant #11 i.e. Lot 6059 and 6058 in Meru, Klang are up and the first batch of lines has been commissioned. Lot 6059 and 6058 will have 24 and 16 production lines producing 3.2b and 2.2b pieces of nitrile gloves p.a., respectively, bringing the total nitrile production capacity from 6.9b (including the 1.4bn in Lot 6070) to 12.3b pieces p.a. or 52% of the total installed capacity.
>Kossan
In its latest quarter report,to fulfill strong demand for nitrile gloves, Kossan plans to double its current 22.5bn pcs capacity by 2021. The expansion plan will be executed in 5 phases from end-2015 onwards. The group will continue to focus on light weight nitrile gloves and aim to achieve a product mix of 80:20 - nitrile (SR) and natural rubber latex (NR) in FY16 respectively (YTD - 68:32 SR vs. NR).
>Hartalega, leader in nitrile glove market.
In its latest quarter report,Hartalega expect its earnings to jump upon the gradual ramp up of the Next Generation Integrated Glove Manufacturing Complex (NGC) (known as Plant 7). Presently, NGC has commissioned 17 lines. Upon full commissioning, the first two plants will add c.8b pieces (+56%) new capacity by 1Q16.
