Malaysia's Rubber Product Sector Earnings Recovery Should Stay on Track -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-30

0139 GMT - The earnings recovery in Malaysia's rubber products sector should stay on track, as demand and supply dynamics are showing signs of improvement, RHB IB analyst Oong Chun Sung and team say in a note. This is because order volumes for April and May have increased notably, they say. The lower gas tariffs and the stabilization of gloves' average selling prices could boost glove manufacturers' profitability this year, they say. Analysts expect a significant rebound in demand by 2H, which could pave the way for glove makers to restart capacity expansion in 2025 and 2026. RHB maintains an overweight rating on Malaysian rubber products sector and pegs Riverstone, Hartalega and Kossan Rubber Industries as its top sector picks. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
