闻泰科技(600745) Wingtech announced its preliminary FY24 results. The company expects a netloss to be around RMB3.5-4.55bn (vs. RMB1.1bn NP in FY23). Mgmt. attributedthe NL primarily to 1) impairment related to the sale of ODM business announcedin Dec (link), 2) a write-down on deferred tax assets, and 3) further goodwillimpairments (RMB600mn/RMB500mn in 2022/23, with RMB200mn to be fullyimpaired in 2024). Despite short-term financial setbacks, we believe Wingtech isbetter-positioned for LT value creation as it moves forward with a lighter load asit transforms itself to a predominately semiconductor-focused company. MaintainBUY with TP unchanged at RMB52. Net loss in FY24 due to one-off impairments from ODM spin-off. PerCounterpoint, the top three ODM players (Longcheer, Huaqin, Wingtech)accounted for 75% of total market in 1H24 in China. Wingtech ranked thirdwith 17% share, down 3ppts vs. 1H23. Despite a challenging 1H24, its ODMbusiness continued to improve in 4Q (after +46%/15% YoY/QoQ in 3Q), witha record revenue (est. double-digit YoY and single-digit QoQ). Excluding theimpairments (ODM business spin-off, write-down on DTA, and goodwill), thesegment turned profitable in 4Q as mgmt. expected. However, ODM is a lowmargin business, with the top three ODM players in China seeing <3% NPMon average in 9M24. We see No.2 player Huaqin (603296 CH, NR) is activelydiversifying its business portfolio towards higher-margin opportunities(recently acquired 75% of HCTRobot). We believe Wingtech is betterpositioned now as it moves forward with a lighter load. Semi business continued to show resilience amid seasonal slowdown.Semi business revenue grew sequentially in FY24 (2Q/3Q: 10/15% QoQ).While 4Q24 sales faced seasonal softness, the business still recorded singledigit YoY (~7%) and flattish QoQ growth, driven by strong demand inconsumer, data center, and auto sectors. Notably, China contributed ~40%of total semi revenue, offsetting weakness overseas resulting from continuedinventory correction. 4Q GPM was near 2Q level (1Q/2Q/3Q: 31.0%/38.7%/40.5%). Mgmt. expects overseas auto OEMs to resume restocking in2025, with auto revenue currently accounting for 60% of total semi revenue. Looking forward, we expect to see more upside in Wingtech’s valuation,lifted by 1) increasing semiconductor revenue share, 2) robust domestic autodemand with gradual recovery overseas, and 3) a re-rating opportunity givenits business transformation to being a semi-centric company. Maintain BUY,with TP unchanged at RMB52, corresponding to 24.8x FY25E P/E, basedon unchanged financial forecasts. Potential risks include heightened USChina trade relations, unfavourable exchange rates, and weaker-thanexpected overseas auto inventory correction.

     闻泰科技(600745) On December 31, 2024, Wingtech signed a “Letter of Intent for Sale” for ninewholly-owned ODM subsidiaries with Luxshare Limited in an all-cash deal. Thismove follows its recent addition to the US trade blacklist (news). According tomgmt., this transaction serves two primary purposes: (1) to align with the riskpreferences of certain ODM clients, and (2) to mitigate potential risks to itssemiconductor leg. The deal reflects a broader 2025 trend of event-driven M&Aopportunities in China's semiconductor sector amid strategic geopolitical shiftsand favourable policies, as indicated in our 2025 outlook report as a newinvestment theme (link). Maintain BUY on Wingtech, with TP unchanged atRMB52. The sale exclusively involves its Android-focused ODM business, aburden on the company’s financial performance and valuation.Together, these subsidiaries held a total asset value of RMB28.2bn as of9M24, representing 36.1% of the company’s total assets and over 50% oftotal revenue (triggering one of CSRC’s asset restructuring regulations) in3Q24. In 9M24, the ODM segment contributed ~79% of total revenue butrecorded a substantial net loss of RMB1.2bn. Wingtech will focus on its high-margin semiconductor business,Nexperia. In 9M24, semi segment generated RMB10.9bn in sales (~20%of total revenue), with GPM at 37% (RMB4bn) and NPM at 16%(RMB1.7bn), outperforming the company’s overall 9% GPM and 1% NPMduring the same period. In 2Q/3Q24, semi segment saw sequential growthof 6%/6%, driven by 1) strong domestic auto sales, recovering consumerelectronics and robust computing demand. We expect the company’s semisegment sales to grow by 11.8%/12.9% in FY25/26E, compared toBloomberg consensus of 9%/9%. Maintain BUY, with TP unchanged at RMB52, corresponding to 24.8xFY25E P/E. We expect this business transformation will lead to a highervaluation for Wingtech, as it has almost transformed into a predominatelysemi-focused company. The company currently trades at 17.7x/12.2xFY25/26E P/E, which is appealing comparing to its domestic peers thattrade at an average 25/26E P/E of 30.3x/23.8x. Potential risks include:heightened China-US trade relations, and unfavourable exchange rates.

     闻泰科技(600745) 投资摘要 事件概述 10月26日，公司发布2024年三季度报告。公司2024Q1-3实现营业收入531.61亿元，yoy+19.70%，其中2024Q3实现营业收入195.71亿元，yoy+28.71%；实现归母净利润4.15亿元，其中2024Q3实现归母净利润2.74亿元，环比增长2.77亿元，实现扭亏为盈。 分析与判断 电气化&AI驱动持续发展，半导体业务支撑业绩稳步改善。半导体业务受汽车及工业电力领域带动以及消费电子领域的复苏，2024Q3公司半导体业务实现营业收入38.32亿元，环比增长5.86%；2024Q3实现净利润6.66亿元，qoq+18.92%。闻泰科技在半导体零部件领域加速垂直整合，持续强化自身供应能力，打造安全可控的供应体系，并持续加大研发投入，培育自主创新能力与核心竞争力，随着电气化、AI驱动持续发展，公司各主要产品的单机使用量及使用价值也在不断上升，据公司表述，目前在已有电动车客户中公司单车芯片使用量最高可达约1000颗/车；且随着AI产业蓬勃发展，算力需求带动AI服务器快速发展，需求持续强劲；公司前瞻布局，配套AI服务器的MOS产品约10美元/台，远高于普通非AI服务器的1美元/台。在终端应用驱动下，2024Q3公司半导体业务逐步复苏，毛利率达到40.5%，同比增长2.8个百分点。我们认为，公司坚持打造并提升整机产品核心竞争力、响应市场新需求开发高ASP产品有望强化自身在全球功率半导体产业链的地位，半导体业务条线有望持续向好。 提质增效成果显现，产品集成业务多条线亮点频出。受新项目价格较低、部分原材料涨价以及工厂人力成本上升等因素影响，2024H1产品集成业务承压。进入三季度，公司重点强化内部管理、控费增效，使得2024Q1-3三大费用率同比下降；公司紧抓市场增量机遇，加快推动高ASP产品对接，部分新项目已开始量产出货，带动营收大幅增长，2024Q3公司产品集成业务实现营收157.30亿元，yoy+45.58%；在增收控费基础之上，公司积极优化供应链上下游协同，通过商务条款及新进供应商改善成本，不断提升产品综合毛利率，2024Q3产品集成业务毛利率逐步恢复至3.8%。我们认为，在当前消费电子板块持续复苏背景下，随着公司内部费用结构优化调整及新业务逐步落地，产品集成业务有望保持逐季改善势头。 投资建议 维持“买入”评级。我们调整公司2024-2026年归母净利润预测至8.18/20.10/31.62亿元，对应EPS分别为0.66/1.62/2.54元，对应PE估值分别为66/27/17倍。 风险提示 终端需求复苏不及预期、订单落地不及预期、行业竞争加剧

     闻泰科技(600745) 调整目标价至人民币41.6元，潜在升幅15%，维持“买入”评级。 重申闻泰科技的“买入”评级：闻泰科技三季度的净利润为人民币2.7亿元，环比扭亏，业绩符合此前管理层对于公司基本面的判断，即今年产品集成业务盈利能力逐季改善，功率半导体业务基本面在二季度触底并向上。公司半导体业务触底上行幅度高于我们此前预期，因此我们上调2025年盈利增速预测至127%。当前，闻泰科技市盈率为22.2x，略低于过去5年历史均值水平，仍然具备上行空间。因此，我们对闻泰保持乐观判断。 产品集成业务扭亏在即。公司产品集成业务三季度录得收入157亿元，毛利率3.8%，净亏损3.6亿元，均实现环比增长或改善。主要得益于：1）手机ODM等供应链上游零部件成本改善；2）大客户产品规模提升；3）公司持续的降本增效。我们预期该业务有望在今年四季度实现扭亏，并在2025年贡献约1.3亿元的盈利增量。 安世半导体基本面周期开启上行，超出我们预期。安世半导体三季度录得收入38.3亿元，毛利率40.5%，净利润6.7亿元，同样均实现环比增长和改善。与我们此前判断一致，安世在本轮半导体下行周期中的下行空间较有限。而半导体业务毛利率恢复的程度好于我们此前判断，优于2021年水平，大幅高于2020年的低点。进一步看，临港晶圆厂有望承接安世功率半导体的制造，提供更加有成本竞争力的产品，抢夺国内市场份额。因此，我们上调安世半导体2025年盈利预测至25.3亿元，同比增长9%。 估值：结合闻泰3Q24业绩及展望，我们下调2024年的业绩预测至人民币11.5亿元，上调2025年盈利预测至26.1亿元。上调目标价至人民币41.6元，潜在升幅15%，对应2025年目标市盈率19.8x。 投资风险：智能手机等消费电子产品需求恢复不如预期。半导体行业基本面周期上行动能不足。国内或海外新能源车行业增长弱于预期。功率行业竞争加剧。公司投入较大，利润承压。

Semiconductor sales grew on strong domestic auto demand andseasonal consumer electronics procurement;margin back to40%.3Qsemiconductor sales were RMB3.8bn(20%of3Q revenue),down4%YoYbut up6%QoQ.Revenue mix remained similar(vs.1H24),with autocontributing~60%.For3Q24,1)auto sales increased modestly,with mixedgrowth from domestic(strong)and overseas(weak);2)consumer electronicssales grew by double digits QoQ,driven by soaring computing demand andrecovering personal electronics restocking behaviour due to the upcomingholiday season;3)industrial/power/NE had weaker recovery with mild growthsequentially.Heading into Q4,we anticipate semiconductor sales to decline3%QoQ on seasonality,and Q4GPM to remain stable at40.5%. Legacy ODM grew with revenue structure improvement;net lossnarrowed.ODM sales was RMB15.7bn in3Q24(80%of3Q revenue),up46%YoY and15%QoQ.Within the segment,smartphone/tablet contributed~50%of revenue(vs.~100%previously).The rest came from homeappliances/auto/IoT sales.Smartphone/tablet business began to profit thisquarter,while home appliances profited for two consecutive quarters.GPMrose to3.8%(vs.2%in2Q24)due to higher ASP,lower BOM costs and betteroperating efficiency.Excluding FX impacts,net loss narrowed in Q3at lessthan RMB10mn vs.RMB42mn in Q2.We expect Q4ODM sales to slightlydecrease2%,a mixed impact from seasonality and platform transition. Maintain BUY,with TP adjusted to RMB52,based on25x2025E P/Ewhich is0.5SD below1-yr historical forward P/E as both segmentsindicate a turning point towards recovery.Potential risks include:slower-than-expected recovery in demand,heightened China-US trade relations,and unfavorable exchange rates.
