Im not surprise at all if you say that they are venturing into gloves. making condoms is quite similar to making gloves , only needs more precision machinery. They should be able to produce without any issues.
@bsklshark It's not that simple. Besides the hand shaped dipping formers, gloves (particularly powder-free nitrile gloves) also use a different chemical mixture. There's also specific configuration for dipping, curing, etc that needs to be taken into consideration to get the right thickness and strength for the glove. Theres also testing, and packaging, where they cant get the workforce needed (theres a freeze on foreign worker hiring) to operate a glove manufacturing line without sacrificing their current condom line, which is still their biggest source of revenue. So unless they buy a glove company, it's unlikely they'll be able to start manufacture glove fast enough to take advantage of the glove shortage. With a low cash balance of about RM50 million, they cant really do much acquisition now without issuing more shares, which will only dilute current shareholders holdings.
all counters on KLSE should announce venturing into masks, the machine only cost 1 million, but market cap will double up in one week. so just place orders for those machinese, make announcement, then can go to bank to get loan with the rocketed market cap.
Soon, KLSE will become the most valuable market in SEA.
I didn't know Malaysia is so good at producing so many PPEs, but couldn't invent a vaccine. Even Thailand and Indonesia are doing it now. Bursa Malaysia, as the market regulator failed in its job to stop excessive market speculation.
1) PPE are relatively easy to make. Malaysia can produce semiconductors, so PPE is childsplay.
2) Thailand and Indonesia are trying to make vaccine. Whether they'll succeed is yet to be seen. Malaysia can also try if it wants.
"Bursa Malaysia, as the market regulator failed in its job to stop excessive market speculation."
1) Bursa is not the market regulator, that's the Malaysian Securities Commission's job.
2) Excessive speculation exist in all stock markets. The 2008 financial crisis didn't start in Malaysia, the dotCom bubble didnt start in Malaysia. As long as you have humans trading, excessive speculation will always exist because humans love to gamble.
Well there are many companies who claimed they would like to do gloves ie. Anzo but end up just fluffing it to fry the stocks up. Unless you're from the manufacturing background, or have done related industry, you wouldn't know the process and details of glove manufacturing.
Stating from a neutral standpoint - Is it worth a bet for Karex, can one of the World's Largest Condom Manufacturer invest in rubber or nitrile glove? The process is definitely different but the QA or ISO requirements may be of similar if not more tedious for Karex if they've produced for Durex (not everyone wants to celebrate unknowing Father's Day), can they do even better than the 2nd Tier that their stocks were fried up or those nearly bankrupt glove manufacturer before Covid-19 that got the 'durian runtuh' effect?
Apart from those nuances we know in gloves manuf which is machine dipping, nitrile supply etc. etc., one of the most crucial point is the water treatment plant for gloves manufacturing - does it run in the same process for Karex? That's a very important point for consideration.
With my limited view, the question is will it be a safe bet, riding on the wave? Will Malaysia be imposed ban when there are too many suppliers? There's even a company call Harps putting up an IPO for $500mil to do gloves, shall we?
I own Karex with avg price of 0.32, I don't know whether the rumour that they are producing gloves is true but I just want to say that the checks for condoms are much stricter compared to gloves. Dust is one of the biggest threats to manufacturing Condoms under stringent Quality Control. Unlike Gloves, which is not as sensitive in terms of quality tolerance, Condoms have to be thin enough, yet strong enough.
If Karex can produce condoms, pretty sure making gloves will be not as difficult as one might imagine.
2020 Jul 29th&30th MADAM GOH YIN bought 200,000 share , the next transaction day KAREX share price direct jump up. Next time can we use this as indicator or not ?
Trade with your own decision. If u think they might be in the glove business then buy otherwise dont. It like gamble. If later really they venture into glove it would shoot otherwise it will go back to previos range which is below rm1. Again is your money and u decide.
If they were going to venture into gloves, they would have announced by now so that their stock can go even higher. But nope, no news, no mention at all. Their investor relations has also confirmed that they are not producing gloves. Instead, their twitter is talking about cheese flavoured condoms lmao. It's obvious they are not interested.
They could even hint that they're just considering venturing into gloves, but nope, still nothing from management. This company don't care about their stock price one.
If I was speculating this counter, it seems to make more sense to be aware of the reality so that I know when to exit. To lie to myself and believe in false rumours is just a gateway to get eaten by the sharks.
Karex international co, everything must above the board otherwise get slaughter from international clients and ngo. I don't think they will fake it, really no gloves at all.
