Matters:

On February 16, Changzhou Xingyu Automotive Lighting Systems Co.Ltd(601799) and Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. held the signing ceremony of the letter of intent for cooperation in intelligent vehicle optical business of Huawei optical product line in Dongguan, China. The two sides will carry out strategic cooperation in the field of intelligent lamps to form a continuously leading competitiveness of intelligent lamp system solutions in the industry. In addition, the two sides will comprehensively carry out other business cooperation in the field of intelligent vehicle light.

Guoxin automobile view:

As the eye of the car, the lamp is an important appearance part on the car body. Car enterprises represented by Tesla and new forces lead the application of new technologies in the lamp industry. DLP projection headlights and ADB lamps have entered the market one after another, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for traditional lamp enterprises. Industrial chain coordination is particularly important in the new technological transformation of the lamp industry. Xingyu cooperates with upstream chips Software algorithms and other enterprises, based on their traditional structural design, optical and electronic design and other advantages, are expected to continue to take the lead in forward-looking product research and development and increase the gap with other independent lamp brands in China.

Guoxin automobile deeply tracks the lamp industry and firmly believes that the lamp value has the three characteristics of “high starting point, high elasticity and long duration”, and the penetration of short-term led, long-term intelligent lamp (ADB, DLP) and laser headlamp is a high-quality track for parts segmentation. Under the background of intelligence and electrification in the future, the lamp, as a visual part, is expected to become the core carrier of the vehicle data flow output, and realize the functional upgrading from “lighting” to “expression”.

Valuation suggestions: the trend of ADB and projection headlamp industry at the industry end is verified. The company actively embraces forward-looking new technologies and front-end new customers, cooperates with the industrial chain to expand the capacity circle, overseas construction is carried out steadily, the long-term logic is smooth, the short-term core shortage does not change the industry demand, and the company has the potential of global lamp leader for a long time, Considering that the lack of core in the industry has led to a significant decline in the production schedule of the company’s core customers, such as FAW Volkswagen, we lowered the profit forecast and expected the net profit of 21 / 22 / 23 to be 10.9/15.7/21.9 (the previous profit forecast was 1.19/17.4/23 billion in 21 / 22 / 23), corresponding to PE 41 / 28 / 20x respectively, updated the one-year target valuation range of 227-265 yuan, and the short-term lack of core will not change the industry demand, The company has long-term potential as a global leader and maintains a buy rating.

Acceleration of lamp technology innovation in the era of Automotive Electric Intelligence

With the background of intelligence, the lights are the high-quality track of parts segmentation. Since Guoxin automobile team deeply tracked and studied the lamp Market (in-depth investigation of lamp industry chain, lamp disassembly experiment, visit of engineers of lamp enterprises and vehicle manufacturers, investigation of international lamp exhibition, etc.), it has been greatly recognized by customers. As a subdivided automobile part, lamp can surpass the growth of the whole automobile industry, The main reason behind this is the increase in the value of lamps brought about by technological upgrading (high starting point, high elasticity and long duration), and the fundamental reason is that consumers are willing to pay higher costs for lamps (beautiful, intelligent and energy-saving) under the trend of automobile electronization and intellectualization. Under the background of intelligent electrification in the future, As a visual part, the lamp is expected to become the core carrier of the vehicle data flow output, and realize the functional upgrading from “lighting” to “expression”.

With the continuous evolution of technology trend, the lamp configuration of new forces of car manufacturing emphasizes science and technology and intelligence. Tesla‘s birth has created an ideal model of global intelligent electric vehicles. The panoramic sky screen, car body, central control screen and other elements carried on it have been quickly followed and applied in new forces and traditional car enterprises. Tesla showed its new adaptive headlights at the gigafest activity of the Berlin factory in October 2021. The resolution of the LED matrix of the new headlight is high enough to even display the sign of “Tesla” on the wall. In addition, this adaptive headlamp can help the driver see more clearly on curved roads without affecting the driving vision of oncoming vehicles.

In terms of new forces of car making, Weilai, Xiaopeng and ideal are equipped with LED as standard. Weilai uses through heartbeat tail lamp, Xiaopeng uses integrated diamond matrix tail lamp and ideal star ring full LED tail lamp. In addition, Weilai is also equipped with intelligent 10 color atmosphere lamp / light waterfall atmosphere lamp, highlighting fashion and intelligence. Zhiyou car is equipped with 2.6 million pixel DLP projection headlights and ISC pixel signal lights equipped with more than 5000 LEDs to realize v2x intelligent driving integrated interaction and intelligent lighting expression. In 2020, the forward-looking matrix LED headlights have been applied in some models with a price of 100000-200000, such as Haval H6 and Roewe rx5. The subsequent ADB, DLP, laser headlights and OLED lamps undertake LED lamps, and the market is expected to continue to expand.

ADB adaptive driving beam is an intelligent high beam system, whose main function is to improve the safety of meeting at night. Traditional car headlights are dazzling, which is easy to dazzle drivers in the lane at night, laying hidden dangers for driving safety. by comparison

ADB headlights will contribute important incremental space. Through the input of video camera signal, ADB technology can judge the position and distance of incoming vehicles in front, and adjust the light irradiation area accordingly to avoid glare on incoming vehicles, and meet the vision needs of drivers to the greatest extent. ADB intelligent headlights can improve the image recognition ability of ADAS system at night, which will become the technical trend of vehicle safety lighting, At present, it is already a part of ADAS system and is expected to become the standard product of intelligent driving vehicles in the future. The penetration rate of new LED headlights continues to rise, rapidly increasing from 23% in 2018 to 68% in 2020. At present, it has fully radiated high, medium and low-end models. From the initial luxury car ABB equipped with LED – the standard LED of high-end models with more than 300000 in China – the LED trend of middle-end models – the LED of high-end models of low-end models. ADB can greatly improve the driving experience and safety. ADB sales account for about 6% of the total sales of passenger cars. It is expected to undertake LED lights and contribute important incremental space.

By comprehensively combing the headlight configuration of 60 key models of cars and SUVs with the top 30 sales volume in China in 2020, we found that among the latest configurations of these 60 models (mostly 2021 models), 58 models are equipped with standard / optional led, of which 33 models are equipped with all LED headlights, 25 models are equipped with LED on top, other halogen lamps, and 1 model is equipped with LED on top For other xenon lamps (Volkswagen Tiguan L), there are 1 top version standard led, optional laser headlights (12000 yuan, BMW 5 Series), and 9 vehicles can be equipped with ADB lamps.

New forces of car building promote the landing of new technologies such as atmosphere lamp and DLP projection headlamp
