Top Glove: Maintain Sell - Earnings rebound priced-in

Stock Name: TOPGLOV
Company Name: TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD
Research House: MAYBANKPrice Call: SELLTarget Price: 4.20



Results in line. 6MFY12 core net profit of RM85m (+37% YoY) was 53-54% of our and consensus' full-year forecasts. The earnings rebound has been priced-in given the 23% run-up in share price over the past 6 months. With the stock trading at its historical mean of 16x forward earnings, we see no compelling reason to upgrade, especially in view of the environment risks (rising latex cost, weaker USD, energy/ minimum wage hikes). Maintain Sell and RM4.20 TP (14x CY13 PER).
