Hartalega - World Class Manufacturer First Class Gloves

[evolance]

Gota know of this mid-cap and vested since start of the year.

Any fellow forumers vested too?
- Largest Nitrite glove producer in the world
- 2nd or 3rd largest glove maker after Topglove
- Key advantages = leveraged highly on technology vs others like Topglove
- Growing Demands in nitrite gloves to replace latex gloves

Kids woke up liao, will stop here...

Your views?

All glove makers are ramping up production on nitrile gloves, not sure if Hartalega will have an edge over them in the long run.
Not sure if they should have a premium over the other glove makers in the long run.

short to mid term...next 5 yrs shd b ok?
My thoughts, if overall demand can justify, not much impact, if cant...harta can activate price war b4 its too late based on better ecomnomies of scale. Not sure viabilty over long run..
margins be lowered..lose lose situation for investors

Hartalega is currently in a law suit with the other glove maker.
Story is the manufacturer of the machines that produce nitrile glove did not patent their design. Hartelaga went behind them and patent the design as their own and suit the manufacturer together with all the glove makers for using their technology. However, everyone in the industry know they cant win this suit, but it is just a way to slow down the competition. Problem is the manufacturer is still selling the machines and no one has stopped using the machines at all. Lol

Obviously Hartalega has got no idea of how IP works. You cannot patent something that has already been out in the market and that no one has patented it before. This is called "Novelty" in the invention. You can't even slow down the industry to continue using it. You will end up paying lots of legal fees from the counter sue instead.
Take for example, you invented something but has not file a patent yet. You showed it to somebody publicly or privately but has doc to prove it that you showed it. The one receiving it cannot file the patent. when you showed that invention to him and did not indicate that it is in the process of filing your patent, you also cannot file a patent later on. sounds strange but the logic is that it is now an open information and no more a novelty.

Chanced upon this and you make a lot of sense... but how does that apply to Rambus case on DDR memory technology when everyone knew they stole from JDEC?

Suddenly up 6-7 percent today
Anyone knows any particular reason?
Only news I can find is HwangDBS up its TP to RM6.60

Getting overly overvalued liao...esp with the hype of bird flu etc.. thinking of selling...Jus afraid if I am selling a 'winning' stock?

Will Warren Buffett sell a winning stock if it gets overvalued? say Heinz? Guess not direct comparison since Heinz is an international brand with str8 moat and he actually owns it now
