Empire city OK la. Location also ok. Bordering Damansara/Damansara Perdana , nearby Ikea , the curve . After completion of the of the bridge across LDP to link up , then it will show it potential. Even now, it is easy to access . Anyone leaving Ikea, the curve or Bandar Utama, if they need to take a u turn under the bridge to lead back to LDP towards Taman Tun, KL, DU and Puchong direction will come to the mall car park entrance. May be just a perception of many that this mall is still under construction due to the road and bridge link construction out there. It will be as good as those nearby Malls.

I was going through my investment portfolio and was happy to find out that my 2 "hibernating" small/mid cap stocks(recovery themes) had started to show some good price movements this week.

That is why I always advocate a "diversified" investment portfolio.

Never mind. I will not chase it up now. I have other recovery counters to rely on.

From the netshort positions on Bursa website, we can see that Hartalega operator has made the shorties cover back some of the shorts. Now, Supermax has clinched the top spot for netshort position.

Let's see whether or when the other big4 operators will make the shorties cover back their shorts.
https://www.bursamalaysia.com/misc/missftp/sblnt/NetShortPosition20211015.pdf

Market is fair. Rubberex has had the least shorts of 1,569,000 shares. So, it may not benefit much from the short covering.

Pointless. Share price still stagnant. Once their glove business worsen, I foresee share price will drop again. Only catalyst, is their Mall acquisition give them super big profit which is very highly unlikely. I think Ruberex going to be laggard. Not fundamental already.

Market is very fair. After Hartalega and Kossan went up earlier in the last few days, it is today the turns for Top Glove and Supermax to do a catch-up.

It all seems to suggest that the gloves big4 are showing early signs of stabilisation from earlier selldowns, attributable in part to the energy crunch in China.
======================================================================
John1234 Market would be keenly waiting for a clearer cue from the release of Kossan and Hartalega results in end Oct/early Nov.

Strangely enough, these are the 2 counters that had enjoyed more play by the operators in the last few days. Funny right - why only played up more of these 2 counters, out of the big4?

By the same token, we must stay realistic too. Do not overly expect the mall investment to reap excellent returns for Rubberex, especially in the initial years, as it is meant more as a mitigating move for Rubberex amid a downbeat gloves market outlook.

Malaysia facing labour shortage
https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2021/10/21/msia-facing-labour-shortage

Apart from supply chain disruptions and high energy costs, a lot of industries in Malaysia are currently facing labour shortages too as a result of closure of international borders. The operating environment is very challenging. Only certain companies with relative stronger pricing power will be able to pass on the higher costs of production and hence will not suffer a big erosion of profits.

We need to be very selective in our top picks, even for the recovery counters. Broadly speaking, banks, oil and gas and steels are the current winners. But their share prices have moved up quite a lot too. So, we will need to wait for retracements.

Rubberex is traded in a tight range nowadays, with low trading vols too. With a low beta, it is less susceptible to big moves of the big4 glove counters.

Major shareholder Ong Choo Meng had indicated his intention to deal in his shares. But so far, no such actions have been reported yet.

In the past, we had reason to assume that the company had to conserve the dividend payments for its proposed capex expansion plan(to increase its annual gloves production to 10.0 billion pieces of disposable gloves).

But gloves demand has changed so drastically that the proposed expansion plan might be pushed back or cut back, with its latest diversification into Empire City Mall investment. So, we will like to hear more from the management on its next quarterly report release in Nov. Also, we want to find out how its gloves business has been doing.

Haha, somebody did not read the company announcement?
https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=3150214

(Extracted from the circular):
5. Rationale for the proposed share buy-back:
The Proposed Share Buy-Back will enable the Company to utilise its financial resources not immediately required for use to purchase its own Shares from Bursa Securities. It may help to stabilise the supply and demand and price of its Shares traded on Bursa Securities, thereby supporting the fundamental value of the Shares.

The Rubberex Shares purchased, whether to be held as Treasury Shares or subsequently cancelled, will effectively reduce the number of Shares carrying voting and participation rights. Therefore, the Proposed Share Buy-Back may increase shareholders’ value and improve, inter alia, the return on equity of the Group. The purchase of Rubberex Shares may result in an improvement to the consolidated EPS and/or NA per Share of the Group
(given the decreased share base used for the computation of the EPS and NA), which in turn would benefit the Company and its shareholders.

The Purchased Shares can be held as Treasury Shares and resold on Bursa Securities at a higher price with the intention of realising potential gain without affecting the total issued share capital of the Company. Should any Treasury Shares be distributed as share dividends, this would serve to reward the shareholders of the Company.

Rubberex has an estimated 875m shares outstanding in the market(after deducting recently purchased 39,105,900 SBB shares).

Every 1 sen of dividend declared would cost the company 8.75m. Alternatively, the company can have an option to pay out in the form of share dividend, out of its SBB shares(based on the SBB circular).

In the longer run, Rubberex's mall investment can generate a recurring income for Rubberex, which will give the management more reason to declare regular dividends.

Just my own personal views.

There is a serious flaw in arguing that when the pandemic is over, glove counter share prices should move back to pre-pandemic prices. Why? We cannot simply ignore the fact that changes have occurred to the glove companies in terms of financial strength(eg NTA) and cash positions.
