U.S. Medical Supply Shortage Plaguing More Than Just Tests for Covid-19
1 September 2020
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-01/supply-shortages-are-plaguing-non-covid-testing-in-the-u-s-too?srnd=economics-vp
Pipette Tips, Gloves
....................
There are also overlapping shortages. Swabs aren’t just for Covid-19 tests -- they’re also necessary for a respiratory panel that looks for viruses and whooping cough. Pipette tips are also used widely.
Some items, like protective gloves and lab coats, are so common beyond the world of infectious disease that stretched supplies have affected labs that detect food-borne outbreaks, screen newborns and conduct environmental health testing. While a spokeswoman for the Association of Public Health Laboratories said the surge in demand hasn’t yet stopped anyone from getting test results, there’s been enough trouble locating supplies to cause worry.

New production capacity + higher selling price‧Supermax's earnings continue to be strong
.......................
Glove stock enthusiasts ask: Supermax (SUPERMX, 7106, motherboard healthcare group) stock price has risen a lot, what is the business outlook? Can it support high stock prices?
Answer: The growth rate of the average selling price of Superma gloves slowed down slightly in July this year, but analysts believe that due to the current oversold condition of glove products, it is expected that the profitability of the next three quarters will remain strong.
The fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 is not the company's best quarter, because those orders are sold at lower prices and delivered in May this year. Tat Securities pointed out that starting from June 20, 90% of the company's product sales will be sold at higher prices.
Tat Securities expects Supermax to make a huge profit jump (possibly more than RM680 million) in the first quarter of FY2021, mainly driven by new capacity and higher average selling prices.
23 billion glove orders as of July
..................................
Tat Securities pointed out that the average sales price growth rate of the company's glove products slowed down by about 3.5% in July. The strong earnings performance is expected to continue into at least the next three quarters, especially the current oversold situation, that is, as of the end of July 2020, the order has reached 23 billion gloves.
Superma’s capacity expansion is on track. The four new production lines of the 12th factory in Block B (with a capacity of 2.2 billion gloves) are expected to be launched in the third quarter of this year, and the remaining four production lines will be launched before the fourth quarter of 2020 . The company is now building 5 new factories (P13, P14, P15, P16 and P17). The goal is to increase the total production capacity to 26.2 billion and 36.4 billion gloves by the end of 2020 and 2021, respectively. The current annual production capacity is about 24 billion, and it will increase to 48.4 billion by the end of 2022. Overall, the plant utilization rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 is expected to increase to approximately 85%.
The contact lens business
..........................
suffers losses. The contact lens business of Supermax currently only accounts for less than 2% of total sales. However, it has improved after the launch of new products. However, it still suffers operating losses, mainly due to additional expenses, especially advertising and promotion expenses. ; The loss for FY2021 is expected to be RM5 million.
As for the production of masks, the monthly production capacity will be 8 million as of the fourth quarter of this year, which is expected to be profitable.
In the fourth quarter of FY2020, Supermax's quarterly revenue increased by 107.7% and core net profit surged by 462.4%. CIMB Research pointed out that the management pointed out at the analyst's report meeting that it was mainly due to three benefits: higher average sales Prices, sales volume increase, and associated company profits rise (better distribution margins). "If it were not for some reasons, the company could have achieved higher profitability in the fourth quarter, including certain freight and delivery delays, and a write-down of 14 million ringgit due to factory shutdowns. Own brand manufacturing (OBM) distribution model is a winning formula ."
"Superma is confident of achieving higher profitability, especially in the first half of fiscal 2021. This is due to the increase in global glove demand, resulting in higher average selling prices (manufacturing and distribution), increased sales, and higher economies of scale. The bank was informed that Superma’s collection of deposits for orders brought the customer’s advance payment to RM894.2 million as of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, proving the current strong 10 to 12 month order visibility."
CIMB Research maintains the company’s fiscal year 2021-2023 financial forecast unchanged, and continues to be optimistic about the prospects, mainly: 1. Optimistic operating environment (strong global glove demand); 2. Attractive valuation (Malaysia Gloves) The average P/E of the shares in the 2021 fiscal year is 26 times discounted by 31.9%); 3. The private label manufacturing business model has achieved higher profit margins than other peers.
CIMB Research has given an overweight rating with a target price of RM27; Tat Securities recommends to hold on with a target price of RM23 and 66 sen.

"Note (that) BNM had cut the OPR by a total of 125bps year-to-date to 1.75% to complement the equally robust fiscal measures aimed at buffering the economy from the impact of the pandemic. But with growth surprising on the downside and an arduous recovery path ahead notwithstanding, there is room for further monetary easing to support growth in the coming months.
"As such, we now expect one final 25bps cut by BNM as early as in the forthcoming September meeting

KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 10): Mega First Corp Bhd secured a US$150 million (RM634.88 million) loan to part-finance the construction of the Don Sahong hydropower project in Laos.
Mega First told Bursa Malaysia today its wholly-owned subsidiary Mega First Investments (L) Ltd had yesterday entered into facility agreements with various financial institutions for the "club deal facilities".
The US$150 million loan comprises conventional term-loan facilities of US$85 million and an Islamic financing scheme of up to US$65 million, read the filing.
According to the company, the conventional facilities' interest rate and Islamic financing scheme's profit rate are based on a "variable rate that is linked to the financial institution's cost of funds. Based on today's cost of funds, the weighted average interest is 4.51%".
...
so it means it will be adjusted?

Armada has around 25 Offshore vessels and a couple of pipe lay / construction vessel. The brand new cost of each OSV is around USD 15 mil. Take 100 mil for 2 construction vsls. That will make around USD 700mil of MYR 2.8 Bn as new. Armad has in the last last couple of years declared impairment in excess on MYR 2 Bn. So these assets should be sitting in their books at close to scrap or zero value. I can't see how they can have any further impairments unless some kind of accounting gimmick / fraud is at play here
