Breaking news: Analyst expected to see higher loss bottom line for coming QR released. The higher cost from energy bill and labor cost plus the weak ASP will added the burden to the bottom line performance in last year. Nevertheless, 2023 will be a turnaround for Supermax from the cost cutting resulted from automation and improving ASP.

Breaking news: Local institutions investment funds expected the upcoming Supermx QR will see a bigger loss compared with previous quarters. Advised strong sell with target price 0.50
Comparison of quarter ending Dec 22 versus Dec 19 (which is the "normal" just before pandemic): Revenue: RM175m now, RM385m then (only 45% of "normal") Operating loss of RM100m now, operating profit of RM47m then
Compare against Kossan, which also released results today, at least Kossan is making a small operating profit.
The only bright spot for Supermax is the RM2.5 billion net cash could sustain bleeding for many years to come, assuming that it doesn't squander the money in its US dream.
There lies the problem for glove industries. All big players except Top Glove have ample cash. Intco Medical in China has even more cash. If they don't actively trim capacity, and just one of them harbours the dream to win market share, the price war could go on for a long time!
topglove boss went kuku with the sudden windfall. crazy dividends and share buybacks... he still thinks TG will be profitable in a few quarters... i think this is a long long battle as most glove companies are cash rich, can fight till last man standing. TG... TG naked now.
Many here been telling not to collect after 2020, but still got naive people who refused to listen and call buy. Now this "impressive" QR will let you jaw drop even more. Be prepared to stuck forever.

Breaking news: Earnings adjustments. We forecast an FY23F core loss of MYR120m from a profit of MYR33m to account for lower effective capacity, lower utilisation rates, and a weaker USD. SELL with higher MYR0.62 TP after tweaking our DCF assumptions. Our TP implies 0.3x FY24F P/B, against its pre-COVID-19 historical mean of 1.6x. We think SUCB’s previous aggressive expansion plans and OBM business model (typically carries high fixed costs) could be detrimental to its efforts to streamline its cost. Key risks: Higher-than-expected sales volumes, stronger- than-expected USD/ MYR, and lower-than-expected raw material prices.
