We make no changes to our FY21–23 net profit forecasts at RM6.5bil, RM2.3bil and RM2.2bil respectively. Our ASP assumptions are US$60/1,000 pcs for FY21, US$35/1,000 pcs for FY22 and US$28/1,000 pcs for FY23 with an average utilisation rate of more than 80%. We roll over our valuations to CY22 and arrive at a lower fair value of RM7.88 per share. We believe Top Glove’s fundamentals remain solid for the next few years. Nevertheless, at its current share price, it offers limited upside, hence we maintain our HOLD recommendation, and advise investors to accumulate at lower levels.
