Top Glove valuation at unprecedented low — RHB IB

January 18, 2021 13:49 pm +08

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 18): Top Glove Corp Bhd shares are trading at an unprecedented low price-to-earnings ratio (PER) of 4.9 times based on estimated earnings for the current financial year ending Aug 31, 2021 after what analysts believe was overdone selling on the stock as investors weighed the rubber glove manufacturer’s outlook against the global Covid-19 pandemic and usage of vaccines to curb the spread of the outbreak.

In a note today, RHB Investment Bank Bhd's (RHB IB) Alan Lim wrote that at Top Glove’s last closing share price of RM6.42, the stock's price has declined by 33% from its recent peak.

"With long-term glove demand growth remaining intact — even after Covid-19 ends — we believe that the selling on Top Glove shares is overdone.

"Recall that in 2011, after H1N1 ended, glove demand declined by only 1% year-on-year (y-o-y), and resumed its growth until today,” Lim said.

According to Lim, Top Glove’s FY21 estimated PER has fallen to 4.9 times from 143.86 and 32.68 times in FY19 and FY20 respectively.

They said banks have also announced an extension of the repayment assistance for victims of the recent floods in several states. Please contact the banks to request for targeted repayment assistance.

JPMorgan Chase to pay record $920 million to resolve U.S. investigations into trading practices

JPMorgan Chase is set to pay a record $920 million to resolve probes from three federal agencies over its role in the alleged manipulation of global markets for metals and Treasurys.

The figure was released Tuesday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in a statement from commissioner Dan Berkovitz.

The bank also has quietly settled a long-running lawsuit that accused the bank of manipulating precious metals markets with “spoofing” trades.

NOT JUST UNDERCOOKED, NOW THE FISH STINKS

In an 11 January note, JP Morgan provided an update less than a week after the 6 January report. It was more of the same, highlighting that gloves are ‘not needed’ while administering vaccinations.

On the weight of this gospel, boom, there goes worldwide gloves demand… in JP Morgan's view of the world, it expects every single country, hospital, healthcare worker to ditch gloves overnight when it comes to vaccinations.

Obviously it was done to create PANIC among the retailers to Short Gloves big time-with the help of EPF -the unscrupulous willing lender.

This is unadulterated Manipulation.

We must stand UNITED- HOLD on to our shares and watch JPM crumble.

Short seller(s) might not want to close the short position on Monday. However, there are (at least)

3 factors that might force their hand:

1) Would it be viable to keep the short position open when the stock has actually risen in price (except for Kossan's) compared to the closing price from December 31, the last trading day before the shorting started? And this albeit the RM2 billion in short sales.

2) The upper limit of 4% for the net short position (i.e. the volume of shorted shares not bought back yet) specifically for Top Glove is approaching. According to the latest data published by Bursa the net short position on Top Glove stands at 2.80%, but that data lags by 1 day (see my explanation on that here). On Friday 1.5 million shares of Top Glove were shorted, so unless some part of the position has been closed, the net short currently stands at 2.82%, or 1.18% below the limit. The short position on Kossan, after Friday, likely stands at 2.14% of the company's outstanding stock.

3) The short seller(s) might not be able to find a willing lender of shares. At present, the short seller(s)'s best move appears to be to try one last massive attack, like the one from January 4, where they could cause panic sale, so that the market share prices could drop as much as possible. However, for some reason the short seller(s) have not done that yet, albeit the huge paper loss they are sitting on. One of the reasons might be precisely the inability to procure the necessary quantity of shares to execute on that plan.

In a nutshell, the short seller might currently be in a difficult position. If they do not continue shorting on a daily basis, the price may jump even more. But if they do continue to short, their losses are just going to continue rolling. Thus, closing quickly might be the best possible scenario, unless they hold a large volume of borrowed shares that they could short sell, and then buy back quickly after the market price tumbles down.

We will see how things play out next week.

All negative news for gloves, although it seems like at this point most of the very negative news are already priced in. Without the ongoing shorting for the past 2 weeks, the share prices of the 4 companies were likely going to be 50 to 100 sen higher than they are.

JPMorgan names ‘extremely cheap’ stocks in a market with room to rise
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLISHED WED, JAN 13 20211:42 AM EST

Value stocks refer to those that go up and down with the economy. They can be underappreciated by investors and are different to “growth” stocks, which are seen as having strong earnings potential. Markets around the world have pushed to highs in 2021 in large part because investors have been making huge bets on growth stocks — especially tech companies.

In a note published Monday, the JPMorgan analysts said a shift towards value continued “have legs” and picked a number of European stocks to take advantage of this trend.

BEIJING -- A city in northern China is building a 3,000-unit quarantine facility to deal with an anticipated overflow of patients as COVID-19 cases rise ahead of the annual Lunar New Year travel rush.

State media on Friday showed crews levelling earth, pouring concrete and assembling prefabricated rooms in farmland in an outlying part of Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital of Hebei province, which has seen the bulk of the new cases.

If we assume that gloves are used to vaccinate the entire world population, the number of gloves required to get this job done is only 34 billion (i.e., 1 pair of gloves per shot and two doses per person). We know it is impossible to vaccinate 7 billion people in one year. Should the world target to complete this exercise in 4 years, it would be a pretty tall order. That means only 8+ billion gloves are required per year for this purpose.

When we contrast this 8-billion to Kuan Kam Hon's (Hartalega) statement of 120-billion shortfall in glove supplies, the picture becomes clearer that whether or not gloves are used for vaccination is IMMATERIAL to the overall earnings of Supermax.

Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd economist Adam Mohamed Rahim said a possibility of another rate cut by the central bank could not be ruled out, given the highly fluid situation arising from the resurgence of COVID-19 cases and the reinstatement of the Movement Control Order (MCO 2.0).

A rate cut and loans moratorium is highly likely.

Norway warns of Covid-19 vaccine risk after 23 die
Author: Tan KW | Publish date: Sat, 16 Jan 2021, 1:56 PM
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NORWAY said Covid-19 vaccines may be too risky for the very old and terminally ill, the most cautious statement yet from a European health authority as countries assess the real-world side effects of the first shots to gain approval.

Norwegian officials said 23 people had died in the country a short time after receiving their first dose of the vaccine. Of those deaths, 13 have been autopsied, with the results suggesting that common side effects may have contributed to severe reactions in frail, elderly people, according to the Norwegian Medicines Agency.

"For those with the most severe frailty, even relatively mild vaccine side effects can have serious consequences," the Norwegian Institute of Public Health said. "For those who have a very short remaining life span anyway, the benefit of the vaccine may be marginal or irrelevant."

The recommendation does not mean younger, healthier people should avoid being vaccinated. But it's an early indication of what to watch as countries begin to issue safety monitoring reports on the vaccines.
