I agreed with PJ Seow gradual drop of ASP will not any significant changes in PAT in each qtr bc of planned higher capacity expansion in 2021/2022. Even it drop to USD46 at end of 2022, the supermax capacity already increase to 48b. The PAT will be almost the same as year 2021.

Shorties had invested long and value of investment are:
TG -1.26b
Spmx -252m
Harta -530m
Kossan-76m

The interest/dividend they had already paid to Ib lenders should big amount. Also they also spend big on theedge papers publishing bad news about gloves and hired IB analyst to spreading fake news.. There is also big spending on private lb lending which no body know the exact amount. That's why the shorties gang are asking u to sell every day n night in order for them to cover at very low price.

Shorties had invested long since Jan1. Until now , did not cover. They think Supermax is good investment. They are happy to pay high dividend/high interest to IB lenders.

TG had increased the gloves output from 93b to 100b since March 2021.
Expecting the next QR revenue of 6.5b and PAT at least 3.2b.
Assuming 90% efficiency, 32% operating expenses and ASP US 75.

Euro 2020: Will there be fans in stadiums?
A year after Euro 2020 was postponed, the plan for the rearranged tournament remains unclear. UEFA appear to be demanding fans in stadiums in multiple cities, but is that possible? The hosts themselves are not so sure.
Despite Ceferin's insistence, the last year has thrown up numerous reminders that little can be securely planned during a pandemic. Just last week in India, for example, a rise in infection rates meant that a series of cricket matches between England and India went from having more than 60,000 in attendance on Friday to none on Tuesday.

So yes Mr DIY did rise alot in the ranking [BUT] Supermax has not fallen to or below 36th position. Supermax at that point of final day review was at position 33.

That now leaves us to the other 2 criterias... free float & liqiudity.

Do u think Mr DIY could fare better in [free float & liquidity] than Supermax?

Mrdiy 20.2% free float
oustanding shares 6.28b
Free float shares 1268m value:5.04b

Supermax 57% free float
Outstanding shares 2.72b
free float shares: 1550m value:6.4b

Supermax fare much better Mrdiy in free float market cap.

MRdiy vs Supermax in FTSE Klci index. The Kenanga and Cimb analyst say the supermax will be kicked out.

I just calculate floating cap weighting on 31/5
Supermax 1.28%
MrDiy 1.0%
HLFG 0.9%

It seem mrdiy is a threat to HLFG. I might be wrong. Just have fun.

KUALA LUMPUR (May 31): Malaysian glove maker Supermax Corp Bhd on Monday said it adhered to labour laws on treatment of migrant workers, after a report that the United States was investigating a unit over forced labour allegations.

On Saturday, The Edge Malaysia weekly said US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is investigating Malaysian glove makers Hartalega Holdings and a unit of Supermax.

The CBP said in an email it does not comment on whether specific entities are under investigation.

Supermax and its subsidiaries are committed to combatting forced labour and adhere to labour law regulations, the company said in a statement.

It added that it followed laws on recruitment of migrant workers.

"Existing policies and procedures, guided by local and international policies, are constantly being reviewed for gaps if any, for further improvements," it said.

2022 already had CF l60b from order 2021. It need anther 160b of fresh order to fill full production capacity of 320b in 2022.

Malaysia, the world’s biggest rubber gloves manufacturer, is racing to increase production to close a supply gap caused by the coronavirus pandemic that it warns could last until into 2023.

The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (Margma) said today the country was in an oversold position of 160 billion gloves.
ven with global production expected to ramp up to 420 billion this year from 380 billion last year and annual growth of 10-15 per cent, Supramaniam said excess demand could run into 2023. Malaysia expects to supply 280 billion, or 67 per cent, of that increased global supply.

Malaysia’s gloves export earnings more than doubled in 2020, rising 103 per cent to RM35.3 billion, Margma said, forecasting that would rise to 38 billion ringgit this year.

Top Glove Corp is in the midst of resolving an import ban placed by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) last July on allegations of forced labour.

Supramaniam said Margma was periodically in touch with the US CBP and the European Union “to ensure they know we are on the right path in terms of ensuring all that’s needed in fulfilling the requirements of the social compliance.” — Reuters

I believe ASP will going to rise due to world wide shortage of gloves as Malaysia is the largest producer of gloves in the world are facing full lockdown (MCO3). This sector gloves factories may allow to operate half capacity or full shutdown until further notice by MIti. The lead time will probably extended due to factory shutdown.

Booster likely needed 'within a year or so' of vaccination, Fauci says
A Covid-19 vaccine booster, when authorized, will likely be needed within a year following initial vaccination, Fauci said in an Axios interview posted Wednesday.
"We know that the vaccine durability of the efficacy lasts at least six months, and likely considerably more, but I think we will almost certainly require a booster sometime within a year or so after getting the primary," Fauci said.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, citing data he's seen, told Axios that Pfizer vaccine recipients may need a booster "between eight and 12 months" after their second shot.
Pfizer has not finished its trials on a booster.


Vaccination process will requires after 8-12 months as the antibodies drop to low level. The low level of antibodies will possibility of reinfection.

PETALING JAYA: A doctor has sounded the alarm over the high number of dead-on-arrival, or DOA, Covid-19 patients aged below 55, saying they represent a particularly dangerous group of virus spreaders.

Speaking to FMT on condition of anonymity, he said these were people who would travel to work.

“They will mingle about more than those in their 60s,” he said. “If they are asymptomatic, they are the most dangerous group in terms of spreading the virus.”

DOA patients are those who test positive after they die. The doctor said they would most likely be asymptomatic.

he vulnerability of disruption of PPE supply chains and over dependence on imports is the primary
concern of governments around the world. To address this major concern in countries where Supermax operates, we are reinvesting the earnings derived from our distribution centres into the respective countries where Supermax operates. The capital expenditure earmarked for the US is US$300 million for phase #1 and US$250 million for phase #2 making total of US$550 million. Currently, the company is working with various government agencies in the US to identify suitable manufacturing site, negotiate with various agencies, counties & local governments for providing the full infrastructure that the Company needs for production of Medical Gloves and to provide various supports from local institutions such as on R&D, Employee Training and other support services that the company needs.

Free-float weighting
A com­mon ver­sion of cap­i­tal­iza­tion weight­ing is the free-float weight­ing. With this method a float factor is as­signed to each stock to ac­count for the pro­por­tion of out­stand­ing shares that are held by the gen­eral pub­lic, as op­posed to "closely held" shares owned by the gov­ern­ment, roy­alty, or com­pany in­sid­ers (see float). For ex­am­ple, if for some stock 15% of shares are closely held, and the other 85% are pub­licly held, the float fac­tor will be 0.85, by which the com­pany's mar­ket cap­i­tal­iza­tion will be mul­ti­plied be­fore weight­ing its value against the rest of the index. In other words, the num­ber of shares used for cal­cu­la­tion is the num­ber of shares "float­ing", rather than out­stand­ing.

FTSE Klci components of stocks the listing is based free float weighting and not shares outstanding.
The free float of mrdiy is less 9% of 6.3b shares that is about about 576m shares free floated) whereas the supermax shares free float shares is 67% of 2.720b that is about 1822m shares free float.

WASHINGTON—U.S. tariffs have led to a sharp decline in Chinese imports and significant changes in the types of goods Americans buy from China, new data show, with purchases of telecommunications gear, furniture, apparel and other goods shifting to other countries.

Nearly two-thirds of all imports from China—or roughly $370 billion in annual goods—were covered by tariffs imposed by the U.S. in 2018 and 2019. Tariffs now cover just half of Chinese exports to the U.S., or about $250 billion in goods annually, as U.S. companies buy more from other countries, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of information from Trade Data Monitor.

The Trump administration imposed the levies in 2018-19, aiming to boost U.S. factory production by making Chinese imports more expensive for the American companies that bring them in. That so-called re-shoring of manufacturing hasn’t happened in any appreciable way, economic data show, as U.S. companies instead turned to other countries in Asia for supply.

Vietnam has been an especially big beneficiary. It now ranks No. 6 globally for imports to the U.S., up from 12th as recently as 2018.

The health care workers would not risk their life saving few cents of gloves for the hospital. CDC only provide guidelines and minimum standard. Hospital and health centre can go for higher standard or exceed min standard of CDC if they think risk is higher (chances of infected).
