Observatory, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I split the bet between Harta, Top Glove and Kossan (in that order). Harta makes up the most of my investment in Bursa at 23%. Over invested yes, but it used to be close to 50% before last qtr ex-dividend. That was nerve-wrecking LOL!

@tonypang01, Top Glove pre-pandemic earnings was above RM400m per year. The company has since expanded its capacity by nearly half. Let's assume upon normalization, sales can keep up and margin remains like pre-Covid. So earning increases proportionally, say reaching RM700m. With current market cap is RM17.7b, implied forward PE is 25 times.

But Top Glove has almost zero net cash now (after deducting perpetual sukuk). It may manage to raise cash via HK listing but at the expense of equity dilution. The plus is being the largest producer may confer advantages.

With this naïve calculation, the forward PE of Harta at 34X > Top Glove 25X > Supermax & Kossan at about 20X.

Net cash consideration: Harta ~15% market cap, Top Glove zero, Kossan 40%, Supermax 100% (but watch out whether Supermax may squander its cash in US, not to mention we have no idea when sanctions will be lifted)

Based on the relative track records of these firms, the market seems to have priced them in the right sequence. I have no idea which one offers a better tradeoff.

Maybe split the bet? Maybe wait until there is more clarity on future normalization path?

@Observatory....I am a bit confuse on prosperity tax...based on all IB report Harta need to pay for FY22 (apr 21 to march 22) meaning 400m estimated, meaning prosperity tax not tax according CY22, it based FY22 of listed company?

Only half tank water dint study the products of company they invest ..... This glove is special for eczema hand people that need to work for long hour in health care system. Eczema is chronic diases that you need to keep apply hand cream ....however very this may trouble to health care worker..Hence this product is the only option......

With falling ASP, we expect profit and price to fall for the next two quarters. So there is no need to rush and buy.

Will higher cases cause price to rise? In Malaysia where most people are fully vaccinated, it does not necessarily translate to higher hospitalisation or surge in glove demand. That may not be true for countries that cannot buy enough vaccine to supply their population, but then again those countries may not be Harta's main client.

In the meantime, waiting for QR from Kossan and Supermax. Supermax's result should be interesting since they kena ban by U.S., one of their main clients.

Because it is not a blog page, it is my own portfolio page for people to read and learn how I buy stocks and compare what I do with the results over a 5-10 years.

It is not made for you and raider and others to start a kopitiam and talk nonsense.

@TillyLovers unlikely since it is only 8 days away...unless there are important events such as:
1. Kossan QR is much better than expected (similar or above previous QR)
2. Unforeseen events that cripple Chinese manufacturing (Andy Hall takes on Chinese glove manufacturers)
3. WHO announces a new variant of concern (much worse than Delta)

Intco Medical has diverted some capital by participating in two limited partnerships. Maybe it has also figured out that it's eaiser to make money in the financial market than in the glove market :)

Current capacity remains at 45 billion nitrile gloves + 30 billion PVC gloves per annum. If no further capacity comes online, and if next quarterly results show it also struggles to fully utilize its capacity, then a turning point may have been reached.

Looks like there may be a light at the end of this tunnel. For now happy that it stayed above RM5.00 today.

Finally see some buying from EPF too but as usual that cannot be relied upon for much as they buy and sell, like traders.

@observatory. Thanks for the info. While we may be reaching a turning point faster than expected, I am not sure how I feel about it. If the Chinese are wary of committing additional capital into long-term expansion, does it imply that future growth in the demand for gloves is quite limited?

@winsenlim68, yes demand for gloves in 2022 and 2023 is 10 to 15 percent higher, but prices may fall if glove supply increase by 20 to 30 percent.
Just hope that glove demand can keep up with capacity expansion, or at the very least Harta can keep cost down.
