Short sellers also slowly exiting short selling as their cerita dongeng cannot con remainder glove investors. In additions glove investors keep the buying momentum as they short sell. Tomorrow unlikely any lelong sales.
Able to predict this stock accurately is like single handed down the whole sector. What else need to prove ? Disastrous stock price but it's all alright if you have cashed out early days. Congrats to those who have escaped several opportunities and perhaps waiting for the right timing to buy back now. It ain't over yet until the fat lad said so.. Welcome to the K factor stock market.
MQ Research Initiates Coverage on Malaysia Gloves Author: kltrader Publish date: Mon, 22 Nov 2021, 3:03 PM Close Macquarie Equities Research (MQ Research) initiates coverage on the Malaysia gloves sector, with a view that the glove manufacturers have production cost advantages over its China peers and any newer entrants. Although average selling price uncertainty lingers, valuations have turned attractive with all three glove makers trading at EV/share below pre-pandemic levels.
MQ Research names Kossan as its top pick within the sector. Read on for MQ Research’s order of preference and target prices in an excerpt of the report dated 19 November 2021. Also, check out the associated Macquarie warrants over the glove names below.
Negatives Are Priced in Incoming China glove supply threatens Malaysian manufacturers’ market share. However, MQ Research believes these negatives are priced in as share prices have now fallen 70-75% from pandemic highs. MQ Research believes large-cap Malaysia glove makers have a 25-35% production-cost advantage over China peers. MQ Research initiates on Malaysia’s glove manufacturers as valuations turn attractive despite average selling prices (ASP) in flux. All three glove makers in MQ Research’s coverage are trading at an enterprise value per share (EV/share) below pre-pandemic levels. If shares decline a further 10-15% - which MQ Research believes to be the absolute bottom – MQ Research sees an attractive entry point. ASPs are quickly declining (currently US$35-40 vs. mid-21 US$85-90 per ‘000 pieces), and MQ Research’s top pick Kossan’s differentiated product mix shields it from potential global oversupply. Kossan is trading at a steep discount to peers (post-pandemic PER discount to TopG/Hartalega of ~15%/ 50%) and at about half their pre-pandemic EV/share.
Production cost advantage over China/new entrants China: MQ Research estimates that China glove manufacturers currently have 25-35% higher production costs vs. large-scale Malaysia manufacturers due to higher fuel and labour costs. If global oversupply occurs, and prices continue to decline, MQ Research believes Malaysian large-scale manufacturers will be the last to turn unprofitable. However, MQ Research expects China producers to continue to add capacity until costs normalise despite downward pressure on margins.
New entrants: MQ Research expects newer entrants in glove manufacturing to quickly become unprofitable as ASPs dive below production cost. Newer glove producers have an estimated production cost of US$35-40 per ‘000 pieces (vs. existing players of US$20-23). MQ Research believes newer players will either abandon expansion plans or exit the industry altogether.
once short sellers exited gloves become low volume dead stocks for a long time. only being used as platform by sharks to boost retailers' participation in klse.
More and more people starting to take it lightly thinking that covid-19 is already over with vaccination and booster shots. What we can see here some shops the thermometer are no longer functioning, also seeing people on the streets their masks are not worn correctly and some no longer abiding to SOP. Very disappointing indeed.

UK probing Supermax over forced labour allegations KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 24): The UK government has launched an investigation into one of its National Health Service's (NHS) main suppliers of personal protective equipment — Supermax Corp Bhd, over allegations of forced labour.
Citing officials at the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the Guardian earlier this week reported that they are investigating Supermax, which won a £316 million (RM1.78 billion) contract for 88.5 million rubber gloves amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The investigation comes one month after the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said it would detain imports of disposable gloves produced by Supermax on forced labour allegations.
According to the Guardian, the UK government has initiated its own inquiry after Jeremy Purvis, a Liberal Democrat peer, demanded scrutiny of Supermax and action to ensure that products made using modern slavery are not used in Britain.
“We take allegations of this nature very seriously and we are investigating the claims made against Supermax. We have made strong commitments to eradicate modern slavery from all contracts in the government supply chain,” the Guardian reported a government spokesperson as saying.
The report said the government made clear that the investigation could lead to Supermax being banned from supplying the NHS.
“A proper due diligence process is carried out for all government contracts and our suppliers are required to follow the highest legal and ethical standards. If they fail to do so we will remove them from current and future contracts,” the report cited the spokesperson as saying.
The Guardian said Supermax did not respond to requests to respond.
At 10.35am, Supermax was unchanged at RM1.75, valuing the group at RM4.63 billion. Year-to-date, the counter has tumbled 68.42%.
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 24 — Many people in the country aged between 30 and 45 will go bankrupt next year when most of the government aid packages end, according to the Malaysian Association of Borrowers and Consumers Solution (4PM).
the NHS good news toufoofa promoted/anticipated months back? haha ********************** KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 24): The UK government has launched an investigation into one of its National Health Service's (NHS) main suppliers of personal protective equipment — Supermax Corp Bhd, over allegations of forced labour.
Glove reached bottom and trend back up. Ban news are being recycled.. should be discounted long ago. After profit taking, Supermax will reach for the sky..
I think the bosses should emphasize on the ESG issues or explore any alternative since the CBP issue is rolling over to two continents now. Looks like the share price free fall is inevitable. Once the issues are solved the share price should recover after that.
later EU will probe, more it comes, greater for spx future. If supermx the tin kosong, let it sink.. if not... great benefits from the free publicity..
What is our govt doing to protect local companies in this esg issues. So much damage had been done to the businesses of glove n plantation companies because of esg issues, yet govt seemed to be quiet about these. They only know how to collect taxes n more taxes but did nothing to help. It's time the govt liase with the foreign countries about the esg issues.
The labour issues mainly due to those foreign labours holding the export company to ransom by declaring they are suppressed in order to get compensation from the company. My customer providing services also faced similar issues and my customer choose to terminate the contract with the Japanese customer and sent all the foreign labour allocated to the Japanese customer back. Then they appeal not to sent back . My customer send a clear signal to the foreign workers to tell the truth and not holding the company to ransom .
