KOSSAN - accidentally became the richest glove stock 🧤 and the strongest glove stock in Malaysia this year!
The development of the glove industry in Malaysia 🇲🇾 has been affected by the reduction strategy in recent years, as well as the competition from China and Thailand. Our global exports have declined from over 60% to below 40%. Although still the world's number one, we must continue to expand our market share. We hope to regain more market in the future.
During the pandemic, KOSSAN had the least amount of cash among the top four glove manufacturers. However, in FY23, they outperformed their competitors and became the wealthiest cash stock in Malaysia. KOSSAN only invested RM211 million in CAPEX in the past two years, focusing on a defensive strategy and waiting for better times.
TOPGLOV distributed dividends in large amounts and aggressively expanded during the pandemic, resulting in seven consecutive quarters of losses and the least amount of cash among the four companies. SUPERMX's CAPEX was extremely high, including the purchase of a private jet, and they also suffered five consecutive quarters of losses, causing their cash reserves to decline continuously. In terms of stock performance this year, both companies have experienced some decline.
Both KOSSAN and HARTA have been profitable for two consecutive quarters, mainly due to cost reduction through employee layoffs and production cuts. The substantial cash has also brought in interest income, allowing the companies to withstand the economic downturn. This has resulted in KOSSAN earning RM60 million in interest income and investment assets as Fair Value Gain in 2023. Regarding HARTA, they have earned RM55 million...
In this recovery, KOSSAN and HARTA are leading the way and performing outstandingly. However, INCTO's performance is even stronger, with a P/E ratio of only 24 times despite the stock price reaching a new 52-week high. Currently, INCTO's production capacity is almost fully utilized, and it takes several months to fulfill orders. With similar prices, Malaysia will naturally receive orders.
In 2024, gloves will only get better, and this time the worst is over, which is confirmed. Let the market decide the stock price.
