Strategy: From Pressure To Possibility - A Glimpse Of Hope Amid Trump ...
A Glimpse Of Hope Amid Trump Tariff Setback In a landmark decision, a US federal appeals court voted 7–4 to strike down most of President Trump’s global tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), ruling that the administration lacked explicit congressional authority. The verdict delivers a heavy blow to the cornerstone of Trump’s trade policy and marks its second consecutive defeat in the closely watched case of V.O.S. Selections vs Trump. Trump blasted the ru...

2Q25: Weakness Persists On Multiple Headwinds; Better 2H25 Ahead Kossan reported softer earnings in 2Q25, dragged by declining volume sales and temporary plant closure due to Putra Heights’ explosion incident in April. Positively, better operating efficiency, lower input cost and strong interest income partially offset these weaknesses. Moving forward, we anticipate a positive backdrop from the US’ reinitiated replenishment activities. Kossan’s strong balance sheet also remains as a key re-ratin...

The group may deliver a visible earnings recovery only in 2H25 as US customers’ frontloaded inventories are depleted. Meanwhile, the group’s shifting focus to specialty gloves and automation initiatives will enhance efficiency and mid-to-long term profitability. Maintain...

Accordingly, the modifications reflect outcomes of bilateral talks and align tariff changes with ongoing partnerships to address perceived imbalances and encourage investments and trade reforms. ...

Mounting Pressures From Elevated US Tariffs And China Competition The Malaysian glove sector is weathering challenges such as the geopolitical reshuffling, higher US reciprocal tariffs (25%), and intensifying competition from China. Earnings delivery is lagging expectations with a meaningful recovery expected only in 4Q25. Although the sector’s forward valuations are well below the historical average, we acknowledge that there could be a potential long-term structural de-rating. We lower our 202...

Gloves - Cyclical Volatility From Episodic Narratives
Cyclical Volatility From Episodic Narratives Amid geopolitical reshuffling, the US’ reciprocal tariffs, and intensifying China competitions, the Malaysian glove sector rode through a volatile 1H25. Despite the ytd steep share price correction reflecting mixed investor sentiments, we opine that riskreward remains attractive given the sector’s bargain forward valuations (-2SD below mean). 2H25 earnings will also see sequential improvement on better US replenishments.

1Q25: Soft Start But Core Profitability Improves Kossan reported a softer revenue in 1Q25 but core earnings improved. The earnings strength stemmed from a sustainable ASP uptrend and lower input costs which offset declining volume sales. For the rest of 2025, we expect a positive backdrop from escalating US-China trade tensions which should lift the sales volume and earnings trend. Kossan’s strong balance sheet and potentially better capital management are also key re-rating catalysts. Maintain ...

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 - 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.
