Ustr is a 4 Yr review cycle but one analyst mentioned 2 and down play the news. I suspect Trump to win and seal this until end 2028. China will not be able to continue to subsidize glove industry and retarget their focus. ASP will continue to rise and allow US manufacturers to start production, by then Malaysian glove industry will have a windfall in the next 4 yrs years at least. Let's see how is the profit taking today and see how foreign funds read the news.

Yeah. Good analysis. Expect it to go up and down from day traders. By the 4 years end, China glove manufacturers could had been battered badly for Malaysian manufacturers to thrive even longer.

Michael Lee

Republican U.S. Senator Marco Rubio on Thursday proposed barring Chinese manufacturers from evading tariffs by setting up factories in other countries like Mexico, Vietnam or Malaysia.
Rubio accused Chinese manufacturers of shifting production to other countries that face lower U.S. tariffs, saying it allowed them "to evade tariffs and flood the U.S. market with cheap goods." A House committee raised concerns last week about a Chinese auto parts firm that may have sought to evade tariffs.

Issue with India restriction on chlorinated latex glove, impacting mainly Harta.

1 week ago

Chipee

Yeah. Harta subsidiary in India mislabel their chlorinated latex glove as non-chlorinated and sold to hospitals at cheaper price. It's really about money and tax I think. Don't think shithole of a country like India cares about the environment.

1 week ago

Chipee

Ok... I read the Indian article again and finally straighten things out. Typical India talking pusing pusing. ...

Mun Health (buyer in India) imports non-medical gloves (chlorinated) and sell them to hospitals at cheaper price. Bcoz non-medical gloves are cheaper. Mun Health is undercutting other suppliers in India by cheating. Mun Health should be punished instead of banning Harta. Has nothing to do with Harta. Harta just sells what is ordered by Mun Health. Mun Health gets Harta to OEM the glove under "Glove-On Eureka" brand.

This Indian article talk about mislabelling la for the port of entry bla bla bla .... purposely declare as non-medical so no need to submit certification la just to blame Harta ... wahlau... .

The U.S. government announced a sharp increase in tariffs on Chinese surgical gloves, raising rates to 50% for 2025 and 100% for 2026F.

The final modification imposes a much steeper tariff, which will significantly increase Chinese average selling prices (ASPs) to US$25.50/1K pcs by 2025 and US$34/1K pcs by 2026, from the current ASP of US$17/1K pcs. Given that Malaysian manufacturers' blended ASPs of US$19-21/1K pcs currently, Chinese ASPs are expected to exceed those of Malaysian producers by 21%-34% as early as next year. Hence, the reversal of the current price gap between Chinese and Malaysian gloves would enhance the competitive position of Malaysian players.


Remark: Kossan export about 45-50% of its glove to US market

The impact on USD weakness is mitigated by fact that 40% of glove manufacture cost are also denominated in USD.

The remain negative impact on USD weakness can easily offset entirely by increase glove ASP which have big room of hike in 2025 by 20% from current US$19-21/1K pcs to US$25.50/1K pcs by 2025 to match Chinese glove and further 40% hike ASP potential US$34/1K pcs by 2026 match Chinese glove.

Glove profitability in USD= ASP hike + globve volume sold - (feedcost in USD)

Remark: The impact on USD weakness is NOT only affect Msia glove manufacture, but also affect Thai and China glove manufacture.

USD weakness by 12.5% in RM
USD weakness by 10.9% in Thai bath
USD weakness by 3.5% in Chinese Yuan

Therefore, all top 3 top global glove maker will collectively demand ASP hike to offset USD weakness

With tumbling in crude oil price now, glove maker energy cost and major raw material cost, nitrile butadiene will decrease substantially. Both energy and raw material collectively form 20% and 30% respectively, input cost in glove manufacturing. Raw material cost is denominator in USD, offer natural hedge again weak USD

Incoming US traffic 50% surcharge on competitor China glove will prompt Msia hike ASP more than offset weakness in USD. This tariff move removes the underutilization of glove makers with a very high margin. Profits are coming back

Foreign worker wage if increase, glove maker can easily adopt cost pass through as there is BIG room for ASP hike to UP begin next year to compete China glove after 50% tax hike and following year 100% tax hike for China glove

In additional, cost production will also decrease due to tumbling crude oil, a main raw material for nitrile butadiene and energy cost, offset wages increase

Take note, current Malaysia glove main threat is competition from China which force Malaysia glove ,anmaufacture to halt ASP hike and decrease plant utilization rate to 35%.

Therefore, once US Tax enforce 50% on China glove in next year and 100% tax next on 2026, Malaysia glove maker will regain back glove market share in US

Msia is killing our own economy. Hiking foreign pay will syphon our money into their country. And at 2K/month, this foreign workers don't pay tax although there's levies paid but paid by employers. Increasing foreign pay will not encourage employers to hire locals instead bcoz locals don't want the job to begin with.

Agreed. If minimum wage pass, many EMS and semiconductor industries will suffer as they can't pass cost through due to fixed orderbook price

Construction and properties sector also suffer, increase project cost and hike properties selling price is inevitable which will result low demand

For glove manufacture, situation is bit different due to policy anti-China glove product, a massive hike of 50% tax in 2025 and 100% hike in 2026 will give huge room for Malaysia to capitalize with huge ASP hike forward and increase volume loaded and higher plant utilization.

In additional, crude oil slump resulted cheaper raw material nitrile butadiene will give higher profit margin forward

Then we should see better result in Q3. Nat gas and oil prices are down. Q4 we should see more order coming from US. They might avoid China fearing their cargo may arrive in 2025.

More importantly is promising outlook, both in 2025 and 2026 when major competitor suffers 50% and 100% tax levy given Msia glove maker ample room to hike ASP and increase current loss making depress 35% plant utilization rate for next 2 year forward.

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!🤗

After selling most of my Kossan a little too early in Jan & Mar, I SOLD 80% of my remaining stake @ $2.25 this morning.

Topglove highlight
1. The Group is optimistic that the strong growth momentum will sustain, as customers continue replenishing their depleting glove stockpiles. The group continues to see MoM uptrend in sales volume in Sept 2024 and expects customers’ replenishment activity to pick up in subsequent quarters, underpinned by inventory rebuilding by distributors, indicating that demand recovery had further gained momentum. Presently, its sales volume had strengthened 25%-30% MoM, bringing utilisation rate to 65%-70% vs. our assumption of 55% in FY25 (based on 64b pieces capacity) compared to 45% in 3QFY24. Recall, it has previously highlighted that the bulk of a shipment delay in 3QFY24 estimated at 500m pieces had already been shipped and will be booked in 4QFY24.

2. It is optimistic that ASPs are expected to inch up gradually, potentially by 5%-15% or USD0.80 - USD1.50 per 1,000 pieces due to the uptick in demand and mitigation against the appreciating MYR against USD. However, due to the lag impact, ASP increases will only be felt gradually starting from Nov-Dec CY24. We believe predatory pricing by certain overseas players (i.e. selling below cost over an extended period to eliminate competition) have diminished as Chinese players’ utilization hit >90% While TOPGLOV is silent on existing ASP, we estimate every USD1 change impacts earnings by below 2%. We conservatively assumed ASP of USD20/1,000 pieces in our earnings model.

3. The group highlight that its exports to the US is continuing to show improvement which currently accounts for 28%-30% of its geographical sales mix. As an indication, TOPGLOV has seen its volume sales from the US market raising 20% YoY to account for 15% in 9MFY24 compared to pre-pandemic average of 20%-30%.

Bargain Hartalega & Kossan
Hartalega will need convincing strength above the 100-day ma (RM3.06) to fuel further upside towards RM3.30, the 123.6%FP (RM3.43) and 138.2%FP (RM3.68) ahead, while downside risk is capped by the 76.4%FR (RM2.66). Kossan need a confirmed breakout above the 200-day ma (RM2.06) to enhance upside momentum towards the 100-day ma (RM2.19), RM2.33 and 123.6%FP (RM2.42) going forward, while the 61.8%FR (RM1.79) and lower Bollinger band (RM1.71) cushions downside.

Indications are pointing to a strong demand recovery moving into 4QCY24 and CY25 that will exceed our previous assumptions, underpinned by inventory rebuilding from distributors. Specifically, there has been uptick in orders over the past two quarters. The rise in demand comes as the inventories of major distributors across all regions have returned to normal levels. Case in point - HARTA expects to hit sales volume of 2.2b pieces/month in 2HFY25. Already, HARTA has seen 1QFY25 orders hitting close to 2b pieces per month compared to 1.5b-1.8b pieces per month in 4QFY24 and 3QFY23. TOPGLOV is optimistic that the strong growth momentum will sustain, as customers continue replenishing their depleting glove stockpiles. The group continues to see MoM uptrend in sales volume in June 2024 and expect customers’ replenishment activity to pick up in subsequent quarters, underpinned by inventory rebuilding from distributors, indicating early signs of potential recovery in demand. It has seen sales order rising 25%-30% MoM. Tell-tale signs of predatory pricing by certain overseas players (i.e. selling below cost over an extended period of time to eliminate competitors) have diminished. Specifically, glove players under our coverage have seen their ASPs rising over the past two quarters, potentially implying demand is on the path to a recovery boosted by order replenishment.
