Please ignore my previous article namely “Comfort: my target price” which I did not consider tax for the additional profit.

After I read the following statement from Top Glove quote “Top Glove recently highlighted that 20 per cent of its new capacity would be allocated to spot price, between US$80 and US$100 for 1,000 pieces.” unquote. The price increase is more than double the normal price. That is why Top Glove’s profit is increasing so rapidly.

The increase of the selling does not cost the company anything. It is pure profit. 

To be safe I cannot assume Comfort to double its selling price in the next quarter but it can gradually increase to double its selling price in the 4^th quarter. In addition, I must consider the additional tax involved.

Assuming 100% minus 30% tax = 70% for 3 quarters. That is 23% per quarter.  

1^st quarter sale Rm 152 million, profit Rm 16.34 million

2^nd quarter sale increases 23% of Rm 152 = Rm 35 million; profit Rm 16.34 million + Rm 35 million = Rm 51.3 million  

3^rd quarter profit Rm 51.3 + Rm 35 million = Rm 86.3 million.

4^th quarter profit Rm 86.3 million + Rm 35 million = Rm 121.3 million.  

Total for the year profit Rm 275.3 million

Total issued shares 580 million

EPS 47 sen

Based on P/E 20 target price Rm 9.40

Based on P/E 15 target price Rm 7.05

Based on P/E 10 target price Rm 4.70  

Due to Covid 19 pandemic the demand for gloves far exceeds supply. As a result, the selling price for gloves is going up higher and higher. It is quite safe to assume the Comfort share price should sell at P/E 10.

Moreover, the pandemic is affecting almost all the listed companies. As a result, all the institutional investors have to sell to cut loss almost all their holdings to buy glove stocks so aggressively. Due to the aggressive buying by Institutional investors the daily traded volumes for clove stocks are much bigger than normal.

Note: I am obliged to inform you that Comfort is one of my major investment holdings. I am not asking you to buy to push up the share price to enrich me. If you do decide to buy, I am not responsible for your profit or loss.
