I didn't manage to buy Kossan @ $1 BUT my last purchases were @ $1.2932, $1.2767 & $1.384 in June & July 2022 which more than doubled my earlier stake & lowered my average to $1.8003 & earned $322.75 in dividends to boot!🤗

I take Harta to be the benchmark. Kossan is more valuable than Harta ... In my humble opinion.
Once Kossan hit same price like Harta .. maybe I'll consider to let go. So either Harta comes down to meet Kossan price... or ... Kossan go up to meet Harta. But it's all speculation on my part.. But that's how I decide now bcoz I'm holding for long term investment.

HArta has 3.4bill outstanding shares. Kossan has 2.55bill outstanding share. If overall value of Kossan is more than Harta or even the same ... Kossan shld be price higher than Harta per share basis.

Pre-covid ... all gloves companies are just racing to expand to catch up with TopGlove's capacity. But now is different story. Being too big means higher overhead cost and not profitable.

Post-covid is optimum capacity to be profitable. So Kossan is going for better efficiency in production via automation and reduced workers. They already did that from 6000 workers to 4000. They can keep going to reduce their overhead cost. With their 2 bill cash, they can easily upgrade their production line.

And in comparison to China .... Kossan utilization rate is 50%. Most Msian gloves are in utilization of 50% or below.
China is 90% ... becoz China has zero covid policy and they are still facing covid problem. Most gloves are for their Men-in-White-Suits and of coz doctors. So their gloves are really for internal use.

Many feels that once they stop zero-covid, ASP will be greatly suppressed bcoz China will have higher capacity to export out. I totally disagree bcoz if this is true, then China should run at 100% utilization rate.

I believe when China stops zero-covid policy, their utilization rate will be in line with Msia's rate of 50%.

I believe when China stops their zero-covid policy, they will be facing the same problem like Topglove. But then again it's China, they can just let go of their workers without compensation. hehehe....

Meanwhile, RHB Research said the product quality from Chinese glove makers were on a subpar level, also evident from the multiple import alerts by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA).

“According to the latest import alert dated Dec 26, 2023 issued by the US FDA, 10 Chinese firms were issued import alerts by the agency in the fourth quarter last year, given that the shipment of medical gloves was found to be in violation of defects detected by the US FDA,” it noted.

Many investors are looking at Msian glove this way:
Pre-covid: Harta Rm5.20. Kossan: Rm2.10
Now: Harta: Rm2.98. Kossan: Rm1.97

So Harta has more room to catch to Pre-covid price while Kossan already almost there.
But that is a wrong idea. Again, pre-covid is about expansion on production capacity. NOW it is about COST EFFICIENCY in production. Moreso, Harta had cut production capacity by significant amount compare to pre-covid.

So we look at quarterly report ending Sept 2023. (Standalone quarter. Not cumulative)
Harta: Revenue: 452,085. Operating Expenses: (436,163). Cost/Rev : 96.48%
Kossan: Revenue: 403,479. Operating Expenses: (373,822). Cost/Rev : 92.65%

So Kossan already caught up and exceeded Harta on COST EFFICIENCY.
So in this context, Kossan actually got more room to grow. Hopefully, we can see this on Q423 report.

I already said I am relentless...I guess it comes with the experience of surviving the WORST bear markets over the last 30 years. My Supermx averaging down is even more 'Energizer battery'-beating ! Soon...soon...I know 100% I will recoup my Supermx monies SOON!

Too long to post here...suffice to say I bought 35 X since 2021, with the last 20X below $1{lowest price = 66.46c}, comprising 69.6% of my total holdings, which happen to be more than 10X what I hold in Kossan

I anticipate that once China discontinues its zero-covid policy, it might encounter challenges similar to those faced by Topglove. However, given China's unique circumstances, they could potentially opt for workforce adjustments without providing compensation to their employees. <a href="https://raiderlinkttu.us/">raiderlinkttu</a>

Not that clown lah! I suspect he/she couldn't survive in his/her home mkt & so had to downgrade to this mkt to punt...Unfortunately, he/she bought IWCity @ $2.90 or thereabouts chasing the 2017 euphoria & now trying to cheerlead that stock back to that level, which, based on my 3 decade experience, is virtually impossible! I meant the native Japanese speculators in that country who bought my Daiwa Heavy shares from me @ ¥2,010 on Aug 31st '23 & such other losing gamblers.

Market got spooked by China economic data and US Manufacturing PMI suggesting recession. This already suspected by many even data was released. I still wait for Q4 results. If profit is maintained then it is good. Healthcare is the sector to be in recession.

Good News: Natural Gas falls to USD2.24 for March contract
Bad News: Global Baltic Index more than doubled to USD3094. This may decrease revenue. Deter orders from the west.

Another good reason to keep Kossan; their revenue can be in US Dollar for their export market.
USD is creeping higher.
