  • We downgrade Top Glove (SGX:BVA) from Hold to REDUCE as we do not see the group generating sizeable net profit until FY26F. We reduce Top Glove's target price to RM0.70, based on 1.0x CY25F P/BV (at -2.5 standard deviation FY11-19 mean), from 1.3x CY24F P/BV previously (at -2 standard deviation).

  • We expect Top Glove to record a core net loss of RM202m for FY24F before eking out a small net profit of RM8m in FY25F. We also introduce our estimates for FY26F, where we project its net profit to grow to RM205m.
