The depth of inventory continues to recover, and the demand is expected to release gradually
According to the data of Automobile Circulation Association, the inventory coefficient of automobile dealers in November was 1.35, rising month on month for the second consecutive month. Dealers are expected to realize net inventory accumulation for two consecutive months. 1) Dealers accelerate replenishment. The Association believes that the impact of chip shortage is gradually reduced, and dealers begin to strengthen the replenishment of inventory to prepare for the peak season of automobile consumption before the festival; 2) Demand is expected to gradually release. The Association expects that most auto enterprises will not be able to achieve the task target this year, and the dealers will not be willing to rush at the end of the year, and part of the demand will be transferred to January 2022.
Investment suggestion: we believe that the compound growth center of the auto market is expected to remain at 10% + this year and next. From the perspective of medium-term investment, there is no need to worry about the mitigation intensity of chips in the fourth quarter. We suggest to actively participate in the replenishment market. 1. It is recommended to pay attention to Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited(000625) , Byd Company Limited(002594) , Great Wall Motor Company Limited(601633) of the upward cycle of the product and Saic Motor Corporation Limited(600104) with large replenishment space. 2. Suppliers of automotive electronics related parts are expected to achieve domestic substitution and price volume increase in the acceleration of the industry. It is recommended to pay attention to: Bethel Automotive Safety Systems Co.Ltd(603596) (EPB + wire controlled braking), Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) , Keboda Technology Co.Ltd(603786) (light control), Changzhou Xingyu Automotive Lighting Systems Co.Ltd(601799) (intelligent lamp), Huizhou Desay Sv Automotive Co.Ltd(002920) (Intelligent cabin system), Anhui Zhongding Sealing Parts Co.Ltd(000887) (air suspension), etc.
