Strategy - Opportunities In A Ringgit Resurgence Environment
Opportunities In A Ringgit Resurgence Environment The sharp ringgit appreciation driven by de-dollarisation and thus a broader reallocation of capital toward emerging market currencies support our view of a moderate upside for Malaysian equities. Key beneficiaries include importers and companies with high US dollar debt, while exporters may face margin pressure. While historical parallel suggests temporary trading opportunities, we recommend a tactical trading stance, focusing on value-driven op...

Gloves - A Kaleidoscope Of Perceptions
A Kaleidoscope Of Perceptions Underneath the facade of geopolitical reshuffling and the US’ reciprocal tariffs, the Malaysian glove sector faces mixed investor sentiments as uncertainty builds up. Nevertheless, the sector’s core fundamentals remain solid as we anticipate sequential earnings growth driven by a full recapturing of US market share. More importantly, ytd retracement and bargain forward valuations are offering an attractive risk-reward balance. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

Gloves - Seasons Of Fall
Seasons Of Fall In the last two months, the Malaysian gloves sector faced an unprecedented selldown due to a slower-than-expected recovery outlook on intensifying competition in non-US markets and US distributors’ frontloaded inventories. This was also accelerated by US’ volatile trade policies, causing investors to turn risk-off. Nevertheless, the sector is still on track for sequential earnings growth, with bargain valuations offering attractive riskreward balance. Upgrade to OVERWEIGHT.

4Q24: Misses Expectations But Delivers Steady Profitability Kossan reported commendable 4Q24 core numbers. The earnings strength mainly stemmed from higher volume sales, a sustainable ASP uptrend, and a positive backdrop from escalating US-China trade tensions. Nevertheless, forex headwinds and higher operating costs dampened gloves margins in 4Q24. Moving into 2025, we assess potential earnings softening in 1Q25, but remain positive on the full-year outlook and better capital management. Upgrad...

Gloves - A New, Different Beginning
A New, Different Beginning While the Malaysian gloves sector charted an impressive turnaround in 2024 after the COVID-19 lows as expected, risk-reward appears less appealing currently as valuations are trading close to the historical mean based on 2025’s full earnings recovery. Despite more optimism emerging following better operating matrixes and several rounds of catch-up upgrades by consensus, we believe that these have been fairly reflected in the recent share price movement.

Kossan Rubber (KRI MK) - 2Q24: Temporary Hiccups
2Q24: Temporary Hiccups Kossan’s 2Q24 numbers were weaker qoq and below expectations, albeit operationally profitable. The deviation mainly stemmed from shipment delays and higher input costs, dragging both sales volume and margins in 2Q24. Nevertheless, we think that these headwinds are temporary, and remain hopeful on 2H24-2025’s sequential orderbook uptick, sustainable ASP trend, and tailwinds from escalating US-China trade tensions. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of RM2.42.

Blooming In Spring The Malaysian glove sector is officially out of the woods with anticipation of sequential earnings growth coming into fruition throughout 2024.

Kossan Rubber Industries (KRI MK) - 1Q24: Smaller But Mightier
1Q24: Smaller But Mightier Kossan reported a second consecutive quarter of core earnings in 1Q24. The weaker qoq results reflect margin contraction amid weaker sales volume and higher input costs. While glove volume sales appear flattish as customers’ inventory replenishment activities stabilise, we expect this demand and earnings trend to sustain through 2024. Nevertheless, the exceptionally strong share price movement has fairly priced in the upside. Maintain BUY and target price of RM1.82.
