MM made more money from DISTRIBUTION than PRODUCTION.
------------------------------------------------------------

"Mercator Medical has a strong distribution segment as well as production- they also sells OEM gloves bought from other manufacturers - like Kossan.

According to conference held yesterday with CEO and financial director of Mercator Medical-
" they made more money from distribution than production on Q2FY20 which ended in June. "

They are employing the same business structure as Supermax - produce, distribute their own Brand to the end user ie OBM.

Supermax business strategy is not well appreciated by analyst/IBs

Supermx controls the entire retail value chain from factory to the end customer by itself while THK focus on low price high volume to compete with one another. There is no key business strategic differentiation amongst THK...and in this situation only the biggest volume amongst them will shine.

It is the strongest contender so far and Its meteoric rise cannot be evaluated by how many time it has increased... but whether its can yield the necessary results to qualify for the increase and further rise...

TG's Q3 PAT result was 347mil... U can guess where Supermax Q4 PAT shall be. Try not to be distracted by the noise.

There are a variety of different investing philosophies within the responsible investing realm. One method you may have been hearing about more and more is ESG investing.

Lots of big funds are looking for ESG compliant supplier and stock. I feel Supermax is working towards achieving this goal. ie ESG compliant stock.

"ESG" stands for environmental, social, and governance. Investors who employ this strategy examine criteria within these three categories to analyze stocks. Combining the ESG lens with more traditional stock analysis techniques is known as ESG integration. Anyone can join the swelling ranks of ESG investors by simply learning more and then using this framework in making future investing decisions.

SUPERMAX........RM24.1 Billion (5.6 B- USD)
=======================================================

(July 19): A relatively low-tech stock trade is making Tesla Inc.’s dizzying rally look like an under-performance.

In Southeast Asia, makers of rubber gloves are attracting more investor fervor than even the electric cars and flame throwers of Elon Musk. Top Glove Corp. is up 389% this year in Kuala Lumpur, the most on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index, while Supermax Corp. has leaped more than 1,000%, compared with Tesla’s 259%. That’s due to the boom in glove demand thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, aided by a short-selling ban in Malaysia till year-end.

“The rally in glove makers reminds many of Tesla but the sector’s earnings outlook is more certain than that of Tesla,” said Ross Cameron, a fund manager at Northcape Capital Ltd., which overseas about $7 billion in assets globally. The short-selling ban has had a minor contribution to the rally while “we expect the sector to report significantly more than 100% earnings growth next year,”

Cimb recently made a forecast of RM356m.for the Q4. Some of us would consider this as humble or rather conservative, thats a good move, its better not to be over optimistic .

Here is a rough estimate for the following 4 quarters( FYE 2021)-
Q1..........RM450
Q2..........RM495
Q3..........RM545
Q4..........RM598- Assuming ASP peak in the 4th Q.

Thus, for FYE2021 PAT is conservatively estimated at Rm2,088 billion.
This work out to a EPS of RM1.54.

PE of 20.....RM30.80.
PE of 25.....RM38.50
PE of 30.....RM46.20

============================================================

Qtr 1 at least 500m x 4 = 2 BILLION considering asp peaked(unlikely) n no increase in caps(aug got new line). 1.5 billion is too little.

@freetospeak sifu, u mean Q1 2021 pure profit will be rm2B???? Please advise..omg..need top up more on monday before shoot up to rm30 at least

Mortgaging your cat to invest in Topglove
Author: pBlue | Publish date: Sun, 19 Jul 2020, 1:17 PM

The fundamentals have finally re-exerted themselves. And the reality of Topglove being the world's largest glove manufacturer during 1 of 3 pandemic of the last century, which is still without a vaccine, has calmed investor fears. Share prices are up by 17% from the weekday lows and the irrational Bears have receded. However another particular cry has started to occur, that from Bulls, who make humorous or flippant calls for people to put all their money into glove stocks, perhaps to the point of mortgaging their cat.

I find it funny myself, but that being said, I am concerned that some people might actually do that, put all their money that they can into glove shares. From a financial point of view, investing all your money in Topglove certainly promises the a large rate of return, which even now may still reach 160%. However I would be a little more cautious. The market is not exactly rational and neither are some of the actions of nations in this pandemic.

For example, we saw a sell off from RM25.16 to RM20.50 just because Moderna said it would begin its Phase II/III trial... a trial that would be completed on October 2022. Not only is this 2 years in the future but they still don't have evidence that their vaccine would work. Then we had a US ban on half of Topglove exports into the country over a mostly resolved case. This ban is an action that the US cannot possibly afford or sustain, as 25% of its 50 States are less than 30 days away from exhausting their PPE supplies.
Yet how many people lost money last week’s selling at 20.50, 19.70 and 19.60? All those losses happened in a Friday (10/7/2020) to Friday (17/10/2020) period that saw a rise of RM1.06 from RM21.92 to RM22.98.

The fundamentals of Topglove and all large major glove companies in Malaysia are presently iron solid, impossible to deny as we can see the actual driver of glove demand, Covid19 growing exponential on the news, backed by biology, medical practice and human physics. Presidents and CEO may demand a vaccine now but they won’t get it any sooner. Scientist cannot work more than 24 hours in a day nor can cells grow any faster. Yet, market sentiment is like an easily panicked goat and about as intelligent as one too.

In the long term, TG share prices will rise, mirroring the fundamental increase in demand for more gloves as the world both fights the Covid19 pandemic and struggles to keep businesses open. But in the short term anything can happen. There are over 500 phase I/II trials, and over 300 Phase II/III trials of various treatments, some of which are really far out including BCG vaccination, which if truly protective, no Malaysian would have caught Covid19 and honey… Yes, honey. Just goes to show that about every company is running their own Covid19 trial to make a buck. Maybe next month, we get rumors that Egyptian Honey can cure Covid19 and for some reason everyone believes it, panics and cause share price to fall -30%.

Can you stay rational enough in a panicked sell off to say "This is stupid!" and avoid joining in yourself. It is harder to stay rational if you put all your net worth into one investment and just watched 30% of its value vanish in a matter of days. This July 14 panic attack lasted 4 trading days. The attack before that lasted 11 trading days. IBoth saw a peak to trough of -28%. And the attack before that, Jun 2, lasted 2 trading days and saw a 53% decline.

I am sure most of us have no need from this article and will find the message common sense. But for those just entering the stock market, a small suggestion, don’t put in so much money that you have trouble staying rational during a dip. The coming quarters for Topglove (and other major glove companies) are going to be some of the most profitable in their history and it would be a shame if the only people who profited from it are foreign institutional investors, buying shares cheap off panicked Malaysian retail investor. Don't morgage your cat to invest in Topglove, it would be hard to think rationally.

Supermax: Sellers are caught - Koon Yew Yin

Yesterday alone it shot up Rm 2.80 with an above average volume of 54 million shares traded. This is a clear sign that many rich investments have been buying aggressively. On 10 July Mr Sim, RHB Perak manager can confirm that I bought 995,500 Supermax shares at Rm 13.25. As a result, the share price has been shooting up like rocket.

It is unwise to sell even at the last closing price of Rm 17.70 because it will continue to go up higher and higher until the Covid 19 pandemic is under control.

Many investors who sold earlier are disappointed that they cannot buy back at cheaper prices.

RHB & CIMB raises TP on Supermax.

CIMB raises SUPERMAX TP to ................ RM19.60
RHB raises SUPERMAX TP to.............. RM 18-88

STEEPER ASP INCREASES AT DISTRIBUTION LEVEL

BUY- with raised TARGET PRICE

1- Gloves shortages have worsened, as COVID-19 cases in the US have surged 24% MTD. We increase our earnings estimates and TP due to higher ASPs. As Supermax Corp has its own distribution channel in the US, we expect its earnings to outperform peers. Our new TP reflects 27.5x FY21F (Jun) P/E – a 23% discount against the sector average due to SUCB’s smaller market cap/ liquidity.

2- Gloves demand estimates have increased, as COVID-19 cases in the US surged 24% MTD. Over the past five days (8-12 Jul), the number of new cases daily has surged >60,000. As the US is the biggest gloves consumer globally, stubbornly high number of COVID-19 cases means that gloves demand should continue to rise.

3- Gloves shortages have worsened. Within a period of two weeks, the number of new COVID-19 cases in the US and Brazil has increased more than expected. As a result, we estimate gloves demand there has increased and caused further depletion in global stock levels. Our estimate shows that levels should have declined by another 2% to 10.8bn pieces globally.

4-ASP assumptions increased. Our channel checks also reveal the shortage of certain raw materials used in gloves manufacturing. This has capped near-term supply. We have increased FY21-22 ASP assumptions by 2-9%. This increase is higher than SUCB’s peers due to its distribution channels in eight countries, including the US and Brazil. These countries are still registering high new COVID-19 cases. FY20F earnings remain unchanged, as the financial year ended in June.

5-BUY with a higher TP. We have increased our FY21F-23F earnings forecasts by 14-19%. In the short term, 1QFY21 core earnings should show significant improvement QoQ, as ASPs are on an increasing trend. Post COVID-19, SUCB’s earnings growth outlook remains positive, as we expect gloves demand to continue the usual uptrend growth of 8-10% due to higher hygiene awareness globally.

According to 'Dr. No', vaccine is still not available, it's 'For Your Eyes Only'. Most pharmaceutical companies have used the 'Live and Let Die' method. Sometimes you will experience 'Die Another Day' & sometimes you can only hope for 'You Only Live Twice'.

The TG saga has dented its reputation esp with regard to Labour issues.The bad publicity is going to hurt TG immensely. Most western buyers will look into this issue and may in future divert their purchases to unblemished manufacturers such as Supermax. Hence, Supermax will greatly benefit from Top Glove's mis-step or rather misfortune. Its business structure (OBM- plus marketing & distribution) is designed to reap max profitability from the pandemic. Supermax certainly deserves premium pricing. Will Supermax be the top glove manufacturer in terms of market cap? Time will tell. Just my 2 cents.
