Key industrial news: 1. On February 10, the passenger Federation: the overall retail data in January has not been locked. At present, the data is 2.09 million vehicles in the whole month, a year-on-year decrease of 4% and a month on month decrease of 1%. The wholesale data of manufacturers in January has not been locked.

Recently, Xiao Yaqing, convener of the inter ministerial Joint Conference on energy conservation and new energy vehicle industry development and Minister of industry and information technology, presided over the 2022 annual working meeting of the inter ministerial joint conference. The meeting requested that in 2022, we should vigorously promote the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry, and study and clarify the support policies such as the continuation of the preferential purchase tax for new energy vehicles as soon as possible. This means that the implementation period of the vehicle purchase tax exemption policy may be extended for the third time after the vehicle purchase tax exemption period of new energy vehicles was extended twice in 2017 and 2020.

View of the Auto Industry Week: the overall performance of the auto sector this week is backward, showing a continuous adjustment trend recently, and the valuation has been callback below the average value of nearly one year. According to the preliminary data of the association, the wholesale data of manufacturers in January increased slightly year-on-year, fell by double digits month on month, and the retail data decreased slightly year-on-year and month on month, reflecting the continuous recovery of chip supply and the impact of the effect before the Spring Festival. It is expected that the subsequent automobile production and sales data is expected to continue to improve, the inventory replenishment trend will continue, and the demand of parts and components will continue to repair. In 2022, the development of new energy vehicles will continue to be vigorously promoted, the new energy vehicle market is expected to maintain a high growth momentum, and the extension of vehicle purchase tax and other supporting policies are expected to be implemented within the year. It is suggested to focus on the active transformation to electric intelligence and benefit from the new elastic targets of order replenishment after the improvement of chip supply: Huayu Automotive Systems Company Limited(600741) (600741), Anhui Zhongding Sealing Parts Co.Ltd(000887) (000887), Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) (601689), Bethel Automotive Safety Systems Co.Ltd(603596) (603596), Weifu High-Technology Group Co.Ltd(000581) (000581).

Risk tips: the improvement of chip supply is less than expected, the production and sales of cars are less than expected, the iteration of new technology reform, the sharp fluctuation of raw material prices, the intensification of market competition, the safety risk of electric vehicles, etc.
