Trump win has this effect
1) 10% tariff on every imports and 60% tariff on China. That 50% difference which more than 25% tariff in 2026. And we don't need to wait until 2026 for the effect.
2) Allow export of US Natural gas which will lower global price. Msia gloves use natural gas as energy.
3) Higher US import tariff => Higher US inflation => Higher Rates => Higher US dollar. Kossan and Harta export to US for USD.

Msia glove sector is the best bet for Trump win.

American Hospitals Association wrote a letter to USTR to reconsider the tariff on medical products from China. This part of the letter:
"The AHA urged the USTR to only impose tariffs if it demonstrates sufficient manufacturing capacity outside of China to make choices among manufacturers a credible option. "

Gloves are easily available outside China. .. as in Malaysia. :)
So if USTR may reduce the tariff on other medical products from China, will USTR apply 25% tariff on China's gloves as early as 2025? Knowing US need to collect tax to pay their debt and reduce their fiscal deficit.

Now I'm observing 28 June. USTR is collecting opinions from their industry players on the tariff hike. I'm hoping they want it to be earlier than 2026. Old and bigger players may want to kill their small/new players in US. These new players has been "disturbing" their profit using China's gloves. We'll see. Can only hope.

On a serious note, if China gloves are smart. They start reduce production now towards 2026. If not their losses will be more. Recent news show the RIGHT vote got stronger in EU.

Oh my Gawd! How come nobody think of that? NatsukoMishima is such a genius!!!!

Yes yes ... glove distributors in US will stock up 3-5 years worth of China gloves bcoz their cash is unlimited. No need to budget, just fill up their warehouses with China gloves. And if their cash is limited, they just postpone their staffs' salary for 3 -5 years. Yes yes.... that will definitely work.

Also, bcoz NatsukoMishima says so ... latex on the gloves will not brittle and expire in 2 years ... No No No .... the latex will remain fresh and elastic sitting in their warehouse for FIVE YEARS. FIVE YEARS PEOPLE!!! That's how afraid the latex are of NatsukoMishima ... Because NatsukoMishima SAYS SO ... AND SO IT WILL BE!

I made a quick calculation on the data of Kossan selling at $16 per 1000 gloves.

Q1 2024:
Revenue = Rm 451,625,000 = $96,090,425 (at 4.7 xchange rate)
Gloves sold per 1000 unit = $96,090,425/$16 = 6,005,652

Conclusion on SPECULATION:
Kossan can sell at $17.20. China is selling at $16 too but there's a 7.5% tariff which equals to $17.20.
Meaning Kossan could had make:-
Revenue: 6,005,652 x $17.20 = $103,297,207 x 4.7 = Rm485,496,875
Extra profit at same cost: Rm485,496,875 - Rm 451,625,000 = Rm33,871,875

As ASP improve, Kossan can sell at higher price. Harta's ASP is $21. So Kossan has much room to move up.
Just by taking ASP of $18, Kossan can easily make extra Rm56.5 million.
Rm56.5 million + Rm22.2million (Q1 24 PBT) = Rm78.7million.
Which is similar to 2019 quarterly earning.

On Utilization Rate.
Also, 6,005,652,000 per quarter means 24 billion per year. Kossan annual capacity is 32 billion in 2019.
24/32 = 75% utilization rate. This number could be lower if follows 2024 annual capacity but I don't have the number.

I see improvement. I'm holding and hope to see better Q2 results as ASP is stabilizing.

@Sslee
So compare the above cost what Malaysia glove manufacturers have advantage over China?

Cost:
Raw material cost (SAME)
- Same cost ..but China quality lesser bcoz thinner gloves. Reject by US & Euro standard. So if they make with equal quality to Msia, their cost is the same.

Utility cost (China Advantage )
- China use coal (cheaper). Msia use Natural Gas (NG). But it's not like China burn coal right under the melting latex. It is coal burning to convert to electricity to melt the latex or nbr. So probably comes to be almost equal. Msia just burn NG under the melting latex like a stove.

Manpower cost (China Advantage )
-China manpower power advantage is reduced by automation. China is still slightly advantageous but negligible. Volume game reduce the advantage. One man press button to produce thousands of gloves.

Logistics, shipment and marketing cost (Malaysia advantage)
- Malaysia is closer to US and Europe market. Lesser travel distance. But with volume game, it is probably negligible.

Depreciation cost (SAME)
Tax/duty cost (SAME)

If we add all this up, plus and minus .. it comes out about the same. BUT .... It's big BUT(t)

Economy of scale... TopGlove is still the biggest producer in the WORLD. And TopGlove is losing money. Meaning overhead cost is killing profit. CHINA ZERO-COVID LOCKDOWN is over since end 2022. China extraordinary glove demand is dead. There may even be oversupply in China. TopGlove close their production in China. Meaning China gloves companies are starting to lose money too. If China maintain their production capacity, they get themselves wiped out. China has to reduce overhead cost (production) and ASP improve. China gloves has to go through what Msia gloves went through. This is just economic sense.

KENANGA said China will keep selling cheap and maintain production to eliminate competition. I disagree. China does not have the backing of China demand to do that. China is oversupply.

US-CHina rivalry .... Msia advantage.

China protect their own market (Second largest in the world) for themselves. So they have the second largest market (guaranteed) plus the world to sell. Their economy of scale is supported by their advantage of China's own market. Only foreign goods that can sell in China are BRANDED products.

Then Xi Jinping made a crazier move ... ways and means to remove production of foreign brands from Korea and Japan in China, thinking their labour advantage is for China to enjoy only. That's why Korean and Japanese FDI move out from China. Suddenly, Emperor Xi realised, many Chinese people start losing jobs due to Korean and Japanese closing shops.

If you think US, Europe, Japan and Korea will allow this unfair trade method, then think again.
EU proposing to add tariff on China EV. US is increasing tariff on variety of China products. The narrative now is against China. Tariff on China for unfair trade. There's more tariff to come for China. President from Germany and France visited Xi Jinping hoping to resolve with diplomatic means but I think it'll never work. Xi JInPing is full of himself.

Actual fact is US will have difficulty reduce rate until they hit recession. Euro has gone through it (recession) and pulling inflation down. Now they can reduce rate. Just buy up staples that are recession proof. US GDP has higher chance coming out lower tonight.

ECB will reduce interest rate. Europe base funds might come in in anticipation of Euro going down. However US CPE data might be prove to be resilient and make US jittery again. Next week will be better to decide.

YEah @5354_ I answered

Repost:

What happened to gloves in Msia will also happen in China. After China lockdown is over.
1) China gloves start making losses.
(Intco Medical made OPERATING losses in 2022 (-30,467) and 2023 (-100,958).)
2) China small gloves players got eliminated.
3) Big China gloves start rationalize (reduce) their production hence impairment losses.
4) They start selling at higher ASP.

As for the article from Edge https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/712277
"Hong Leong Investment Bank Research (HLIB Research), which is neutral on the sector, shares the sentiment, commenting that Chinese players will start to gradually increase their presence in European and Asian markets to reduce US orders."

Are they saying China gloves are not already in European and Asia market now and the years before covid ? Of course they are. In order to compete is only to reduce price and gain market share in Europe and Asia. China cannot afford to do that. They are already making losses. China has no choice but REDUCE PRODUCTION because CHINA LOCKDOWN IS OVER.

Problem with analysts on China is ... China production is BIG. Look at this data from World Bank 2019
Malaysia Export 401519 Gloves 2019 World 742,626,000 Kg
Thailand Export 401519 Gloves 2019 World 109,800,000 Kg
China Export 401519 Gloves 2019 World 73,646,800 Kg

China is only 9.9% of Malaysia production.
------
DATA on US import of gloves in 2019
United States Import 401519 Gloves 2019 World 410,269,000 Kg
United States Import 401519 Gloves 2019 Malaysia 258,422,000 Kg
United States Import 401519 Gloves 2019 Thailand 68,443,400 Kg
United States Import 401519 Gloves 2019 China 44,971,200 Kg

Malaysia covers 63% of US import. China only 10.9%.
------

COVID presented a different situation. US allow lower quality glove from China to satisfy the demand during COVID. But the OVERSUPPLY is coming mainly from Malaysia. So the ASP problem is OVERSUPPLY WORLDWIDE. But demand is slowly recovering (Kossan and Harta revenue is increasing) as oversupply depletes.

If there's concern about "flooding" the market with gloves, we should look at Topgloves instead. They are the biggest producer in the world. Not China. And TopGLove is losing money and their demand is far from their 2019 demand. They won't be flooding anytime soon.

My bet is on Kossan and Harta. Their export to US will be advantageous to them when tariff hit.

ARBDN still owns 137,392,700 shares. They sold 291,400 + 251,400 = 542,800..... 0.395% of the total shares.
It's the same with TS Lim Kuang Sia and other owners .... Like I said they are doing some profit taking like day traders. Which is ok. Value traders or FA can do the same too.

Just that TS Lim Kuang Sia is the CEO of the company. Show some confidence of the company la. He represents the company. Don't be a pariah CEO. THis kind of profit also want to take when he is already a billionaire. 🙄

Sometimes FA hold bcoz they are long term. Just bcoz they are long doesn't mean they didn't prone a bit to take profit. IT all depends on how many share you hold and risk management. Market is jittery bcoz US is already at all time high. IS it gonna crash or just 5% correction ... nobody knows.
