Supermx: A cheap Robber Glove stock

Background

In December last year, the major shareholder of Supermx, Stanley Thai was charged for insider trading relating to the counter, APLI. As a result, the share price of Supermx took a dive from RM2.00 to RM1.60.

Supermx is one of the top 4 rubber glove manufacturers in Malaysia. At the current price (about RM1.84 at the time of writing this post), it is very attractively priced.

Recent Financial Performance

The company has a track record of financial performance, with steady growth in revenue & profits. The growth track record has slowed tremendously in the past 3 years due to fierce competition & relentless capacity expansion in the sector.

Financial Position

The company's financial positions are as follows:
1. Liquidity & leverage position is healthy
2. Management efficiency stagnated in the past 2 years due to over-capacity in the sector
3. Valuation multiples have eased off; thus making the stock more attractive
4. Revenue growth slowed while profit margin slid back

Technical Outlook

Supermx has broken its long-term uptrend line. The stock could potentially test its next horizontal support at RM1.20.

Conclusion

Based on good financial performance & position, attractive valuation, Supermx could be a good stock for long-term investment. However, its bearish technical outlook could signal further downside to the stock ahead.
