Pharmaniaga and DPharma are bottling the vaccine. GLC company. Profit margin will be small cause it'll be subsidized since it'll be a available for public for free. and on top of that, cases for Covid 19 are diminishing, we're getting 0 to 20 cases a day. only 2 percent goes to ICU. moreover, the cases have good rate of successful treatment. why would a vaccine for a virus that has high cure rate be profitable?

Please do not be rude, my opinion :
- subsidized, but it wont affect profits made because gomen will subsidize for public, they wont control profits made by distributor as there are costs involved
- Covid case diminishing has nothing to do with vaccine, do you take vitamin only when you sick?
- Vaccinated individuals will have more freedom to their desires, ie travelling, it will open up many other sectors, also protects minorities and elderly from the virus

question is, why are you so salty?

I'm not salty..I'm baffled by how gullible investors are, like how you're comparing vaccine and vitamin. vitamin is supplement. vaccine is a preventive drug that bolster our immune systems to fight Covid infection. you won't die because you lack vitamins even if you're sick. you know why? white blood cells. believe it or not, with or without vaccine, our body naturally builds Immunity over time. the ones that doesn't have robust immune system (like old people and children) will need vaccination

we're talking about 1.4 percent of infectious fatality and 98.6 percent recovery rate. it's like chicken pox, once you recover from Covid...your antibody is already robust enough to prevent reinfection, unless the virus strain mutates to a deadlier version like sivagangga strain.

travelling requiring vaccination is possible, depending on the countries and how bad the cases are. let's use logic, if a person from zero covid country were to fly to Malaysia would not require vaccination, but if a tourists from India or USA were to come to Malaysia will require vaccination. but then again USA and India won't be taking bottled vaccines from Pharmaniaga or dpharma.

but if Malaysians were to fly to USA or India, you think those countries will only allow vaccinated Malaysians when our infectious percentage is one of the lowest in Asia. possibly is very slim. tourism vaccination mandate will PROBABLY be subjected to origin country

Lol Sathya vaccine is not cure. Vaccine is to produce anti virus in your body to prevent the virus to incubate. So what Malaysia have only 20 cases. But everyone needs to have the vaccine to Ensure the virus to incubate? Especially front liners

Why thinking straight to travelling oversea? Why not our public schools, universities first? Got so many malaysian travelling compared to our own public amenities? I don't degrade any of our glove friends but saw a lot of opposite is happening here, thats why OP trolling it. Gloves already and still having bullish run, no need to be so salty here lol

both also important vaccine and rubber...both also will have their time and wont be forever when demand cools down but until then, to understand and believe the current scenario...

main question need to ask Boustead once they go private and delisted which BNM already approved their intention to go private, would Pharmaniaga still be listed or not...if not would the owner offer lower price or real fair value below delisting...

Malaysia don't even need to order many vaccines less then 200 active cases, currently only 159 cases. Please study and research before buying. Glove also dropping because facing many new competitors ventured into glove business, so they have to reduce the selling price..

how much margin can pharma earn since the vaccine is not produce by them. they only do distribution n packaging. if too expensive will government take action or subsidy? if gov subsidize, don't expect high profit lo.. this counter is purely "goreng" counter with weak fundamental

Vz it is very depending on how much is the Vaccine selling price and costs to evaluate the profit margin. The main point is not many COVID-19 cases in Malaysia so far, and I believe many people with no COV infections do not want to be vaccinated.

yes legendary, i dont think the profit for vaccine is high since msia does not produce it (hence cant control the cost) and this thing is for the whole societies, high margin will get criticism. besides, as u said, msia has relatively low cases so even got vaccine will not so soon reach msia. agree also "demand" not high...At least for me, I will see others vaccined first if prove no problem only pay for it.
