Let's see if this forecasted upswing in demand in 2022 translates to higher revenues and profit over the next two or three quarters.

All the Covid related hurdles such as supply chain restraints and increased shipping costs have been very detrimental to their business model. If they have been able to rectify some of those issues and are also expecting an upswing in demand then there might be some hope for the company to improve its balance sheet throughout the year.

Roe v Wade court decision. US will ban abortion and thus need more condom imports from Malaysia. Obviously this is a bull case for this company since it is one of the biggest producers and has no ESG issues. Overweight on Karex

Seriously, if Roe v Wade goes through in the US Supreme Court, condom demand will skyrocket. No Malaysian investor has discovered this yet. Good opportunity for speculation

Posted by TreeTopView > 2022-11-08 09:32 | Report Abuse

I was thinking last night about what plans Karex could be coming up with to nove the price up, as we have seen recently. The obvious one that came to mind was to increase the price of condoms they manufacture for the major companies like Durex, although they haven't done that during the rising input prices over the last 2 years.

The other option was something they suggested about a year or so ago, where they start producing and marketing their own brand of condoms for the global market.

Apart from that, I've got nothing..........unless it's merely what they mentioned a few weeks ago about their Thailand glove manufacturing plant getting closer to coming online.

I missed the boat, so I'll sit this one out for now.

Posted by wallstreetrookie > 2022-11-08 11:21 | Report Abuse

I think Karex will report the highest ever profits because millions of Americans can no longer opt for abortion. Contraception pills are not safe. Therefore, Karex, being the largest condom maker in the world, will be the world's largest benefactor.

I am extremely bullish. My price target is actually RM0.80. Not kidding

Posted by TreeTopView > 2022-11-08 12:26 | Report Abuse

You think Karex will deliver "the highest ever profits" in the upcoming quarterly?

You're dreaming, wsr.

They are struggling to even turn a profit, as input costs have risen so much over the past 2 years. There might be an eventual recovery for them but to say they will be delivering highest ever profits is way over the top.
Let's see what they can deliver over the next 3, 6 and 12 months to see if they are able to get out of this loss making position.

Yes, I expect highest ever profits within the next 6 months, barring labour shortage issues. Malaysia is bringing in a lot of foreign workers. Labour issues will be resolved soon, input costs will come down significantly. So I am fairly optimistic

Karex management literally told us that the company expects to see condom demand surpassing pre-pandemic levels. You go and meet the CEO and ask him yourself. He will tell you that condom sales are absolutely flying right now after the Roe v Wade US Supreme Court decision. Not to mention the fact that countries all over the world are pushing greater awareness towards sexual education. Condom sales is expected to grow at more than 7% CAGR

Posted by wallstreetrookie > 2022-11-08 13:20 | Report Abuse

Mordor Intelligence:
1. Condom market is poised to grow at CAGR of 8.2% by 2027.

2. 1 in every 5 condoms is produced by Karex Berhad. Competitors including Reckitt and Humanwell are not gaining much market share after long period of consolidation.

3. The rise in the adoption rates of contraceptive products among consumers across the world is boosting the demand for condoms. Moreover, growing awareness through government initiatives, along with comprehensive sex education programs to reduce the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, is driving the market growth across the world.
Apart from sex education and prevention against STDs, the introduction of innovative condom designs, coupled with innovative packaging style, increased marketing, and promotional activities, are some of the major factors boosting the market growth further.

Posted by TreeTopView > 2022-11-08 14:17 | Report Abuse

With respect, "returning to the black in FY 2023" is not what you suggested when you stated that it was about to deliver it's highest ever profits in the quarterly.

I actually hope it can start delivering profits, as it baffles me how a company that has the highest sales by volume globally can't turn a profit for their products.
