Joec hold it longer, ur buying a business it has been up for a few days before it drops so is normal as some short term traders takes profit. As long as the coy fundamental is strong , external factor is in favor there is nothing to worry about. Don't play contra , this value stock means u need to hold it for months and even years. Treat it like in FD but giving u much more returns compare to FD. Keep yourself on track of its news and follow it closely then u need not worry. Stock will always go up and down with news but value stocks will always grow when the coy grows.

A rebound will come next week , Maybank changes view today as reported by the edge from Neutral to overweight on glove industry driven by the latex price sharp fall. Hold on tight after the over sales.

We tactically upgrade Top Glove to BUY with an unchanged TP of MYR6.20 (17x 2014 PER). We reiterate BUY on Kossan (TP: MYR4.50, 17x 2014 PER) and HOLD on Hartalega (TP: MYR7.10, 19x 2014 PER).

We think the strong buying interest will rotate to Top Glove in 2014, considering its sharp share price underperformance over its peers in 2013.

The immediate excitement for Top Glove will come from the falling latex price, which will not only lift margins, but also stimulate its sales volume.
What’s New

Just fifteen days into 2014 and the latex price has already dropped by 12% YTD to MYR4.75/kg (-23% YoY). We think the free fall could be due to: (i) rising supply, which outweighs the steady demand. The supply surplus for natural rubber is expected to widen in 2014 as rubber plantations in Thailand and Vietnam enter their mature phase; and (ii) the Thai government’s preoccupation with its political turmoil at home, and it has not been aggressively stocking up natural rubber inventories to shore up prices.
What’s Our View

Top Glove is looking attractive as: (i) it is the biggest beneficiary of the falling latex price, with the bulk of its sales derived from the latex glove segment (1QFY8/14: 68% of total sales volume); (ii) its share price has declined 15% over the past five months on softer demand for latex gloves but has yet to reflect the latest plunge in latex cost for the company; and (iii) stock is now trading at 15x 2014 PER, below its historical mean of 17x and its peers’ forward PERs (Hartalega: 19x, Kossan: 16x).

The sector is also likely to witness another energy cost hike in 2014, ie gas tariffs. However, we believe glove makers will be able to pass on the cost given that it is an industry-wide cost inflation. We note that the recently implemented electricity tariff hike has been fully passed through, keeping glove-makers’ margins intact.

No changes are made to our earnings forecasts and TPs for stocks under our universe as we have already factored in a higher gas cost. Nevertheless, a sustainably low latex price will trigger an earnings upgrade for Top Glove.

Affin Research maintains Buy on Kossan, higher TP


KUALA LUMPUR: Affin Research has reiterated its Buy call on KOSSAN with a raised target price of RM5.08 from RM4.30 and continues to like the company’s solid fundamentals.

In a note on Thursday, Affin said it remains upbeat on Kossan’s prospects and favours the group’s current position, whereby all its production lines are highly versatile and interchangeable.

“This means minimal downtime in switching from natural rubber (NR) to nitrile gloves and vice versa depending on customers’ need.

“We are also positive on Kossan’s strategic capacity expansion and diversification to technical rubber product (TRP), surgical and cleanroom gloves that enables KRI to widen its customer base.

“To cater to the increasing demand for its TRP products, we understand that the group is aggressively looking to expand its TRP production facilities. Given the rising cost of production in Malaysia, we believe there is also a high likelihood for KRI venturing its production expansion abroad such as Vietnam,” it said.

Assuming a 15 line plant, Affin believes the group’s FY15 net profit soule be boosted by around RM15mil to RM230mil.

“Note that pretax profit from Kossan’s TRP division has grown by 15% on-year in 9MFY13 to RM15mil,” it said.

1979年创办至今,经历34年的挑战,高產尼品【KOSSAN,7153,主板工业股】是是一家能研发与多元化产品的手套公司,并一直坚持创新与技术提升。

主要业务:

1。技术性树胶產品【TRP】
2。手套
3。其他【投资控股及工程服务,不过比重不大】

2012年3月与7月,新设立两间厂房投入运作,专注于生产定睛手套及外科手套。

新的定睛厂房额外生产14亿件,这让高產尼品手套的年均产能提升到150亿件。


高產尼品的生产线乃具有天然胶和定睛手套的双重生产能力,能在必要时进行替换。

无形中,增加根据市场需求,随时更换产品生产的能力和灵活度。

目前生产线中,胶乳与定睛手套的产量比重为47%与53%,这样的比例是为了抗御胶乳成本价格高涨的关键因素。

高產尼品的董事经理林宽城曾经披露,仅仅专注于医疗类乳胶手套和定睛手套的平衡,其实并非高產尼品唯一的目标。

在创造价值寻求互补前提下,高產尼品于2011年6月以306万美元【918万令吉】收购香港Cleanera净房用品公司的51%股权。

Cleanera净房用品公司是专门生产净房用途的面罩,手套及湿巾 主要用于高端科技产品,如硬碟制造与生产,以避免在接触这些高端产品时,因磁性作用产生而导致产品毁坏。

在2012的财政年度中,净房用途业务的营业额也不负众望,提升了30%。



目前,马来西亚唯一成功生产净房手套业者,只有一家在新加坡上市的 RiverStone Holdings Limited。

高产尼品的產能扩展计划也如期进行,其第一间工厂將于1月营运,余下的两间工厂则將于第二季正式营运。

而这3间工厂于2014年完成后,预测將把高產尼品的產能提升33%,至每年200亿只手套。

高产尼品最近也以1937万1398令吉,收购坐落在雪兰莪州加埔【KAPAR】的土地,总面积为56英亩【9.26英亩】。

此片土地的地点临近高产尼品工业的巴生厂房,因此,可以连接手套制造的所需基建,如天然气供应。

因此,今年的这3间工厂一旦完成,高产尼品將开始另一项在加埔新地皮的扩展计划。

从年报中显示,此片土地是高产尼品2015年至2018年发展计划之用,目标为2018年达到年产量320亿件。

若以2014年杪200亿只手套的预测产量推算,意味着未来3年将进一步增加60%。每年将额外生产大概40亿件。

在业务扩展上,高产尼品总是登『高』自卑,按一定的顺序进行。

KLCI is bearish for the past one week till today. Opportunity to buy in or average it out if you bought it high. Have faith on rock solid company. Watch closely and lock in before it rebound. New TP 5.05 from Affin research house today, raw latex downtrend, Chance to grap. My personal opinion, invest on your own risk.

Following our recent company visit, we reaffirm our BUY recommendation on Kossan Rubber Industries (Kossan) with a higher fair value of RM5.05/share (vs. RM3.80/share previously), to reflect our upward revised earnings forecast and higher PE target of 17.5x (+2SD above its 5-year mean).

- Although Kossan’s share price had performed exceedingly well in the last year (outperforming its peers and market by 125% and 147% respectively),
we believe that the stock has further upside.

- Our upbeat view is premised on:-
(1) the group’s superior earnings growth of 28% in CY14 vs. peers’ average of 11%;
(2) margin expansion on the back of its move up the value chain and favourable operating environment;
(3) growth in its TRP division; and
(4) greater investor interest following the stock’s improved liquidity and decent yields.

- We believe that Kossan’s earnings growth will continue to be capacity-driven, underpinned by its target to have an installed capacity of 32bil pcs p.a. by 2017. It is presently constructing 3 new NBR glove plants which will collectively increase its capacity by ~5bil pcs (or 30%) in FY14F. This potentially translates into additional revenue of ~RM400mil for FY14F.

- We anticipate a similar revenue contribution and quantum of NBR gloves to come on-stream in FY15F as the group will be fast-tracking the construction of new plants at its recently purchased land in Kapar. Its initial plan to build 6-8 high productivity plants at Batang Berjuntai has been pushed forward by a year as ground works are yet to be completed.

- We envisage Kossan’s FY14F EBITDA margin to expand to 18% on the back of:- (1) low input prices; (2) strengthening of the USD (vs RM); (3) its NR:NBR product mix target of 20:80 by FY16F (45:55 now); and (4) greater production efficiency.

- Management deems the current cost headwinds (e.g. energy) to be manageable as the impact is mild compared to that of raw material prices (~50% of production costs).

- We concur with management’s view that the growth trend at its TRP division has staying power given the strong foreign demand for infrastructure rubber products and auto parts. We gather that construction for its Jakarta plant has commenced, with contribution from FY15F onwards.

- All in all, we have raised Kossan’s FY13F-FY15F earnings forecast by 6%-16%. In tandem with that, we have also adjusted our gross DPS forecasts while maintaining a payout ratio of 40%. Yields are still decent at 2%-3%.

- Valuation-wise, Kossan remains attractive. At the current price, it is trading at an FY14F PE of 14.7x, on par with Top Glove’s but at a 28% discount to Hartalega’s 20.6x.

Kossan to set up RM10mil plant in Indonesia


PETALING JAYA: Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd plans to build a technical rubber product manufacturing plant worth RM10mil in Jakarta in the second half of the year to tap Indonesia’s growing automotive industry.

General manager of group corporate affairs and business development Edward Yip said the company had acquired 2.2ha of industrial land in Jakarta for about RM6.6mil last year.

“We are upbeat on the Indonesian market’s potential.

“It has one of the highest car sales recorded, on par with China in the last two to three years,” he said at the “Spotlight on Malaysia 2014” forum.

He said the construction of the plant would take about eight months to complete.

Yip said Kossan was also looking to grow its rubber gloves production in Vietnam.

The glove maker is targeting its earnings to grow 20% to 25% in the next three years, excluding the expansion in Indonesia.

He said the group expected its glove manufacturing capacity to grow by five to six billion pieces to reach 22 billion upon completion of its three plants in the Klang Valley this year.

BUY IN KOSSAN B4 TOO LATE !

while smaller-sized glove makers

Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd and

Hartalega Holdings Bhd have room for upside.

Give this company 2 to 3 yrs, it will be the largest glove manufacturer especially on nitril gloves based on its current aggressive expansion.
