Military industry investment strategy of national defense industry in 2022: the prosperity is transmitted to the middle and lower reaches, and attention is paid to the strengthening of prosperity and the reform of state-owned enterprises

Core view

In 2021, the military industry is booming in an all-round way, with high growth in aviation and informatization. It is expected that the boom will accelerate in 2022, and the acceleration in the field of aerospace and aerospace development deserves special attention. In 2021, as national defense construction, it will change from “quality” to “quantity”

In the first year of the big cycle, we can see the overall prosperity of the industrial chain and the increase of revenue and profit growth of each sector. From the perspective of forward-looking indicators, the large amount of advance receipts received from the downstream general assembly also shows that the demand for weapons and equipment in the future of the 14th five year plan is still large, and the military industry is highly sustainable. From the downstream sector, the growth of aviation and information technology sector is very bright in the first three quarters of 2021: aviation is in the capacity-building period of equipment upgrading and upgrading, and will continue to grow at a high rate in the future, especially the aviation engine sub sector is expected to show a trend of strengthening prosperity; In the informatization sector, due to the improvement of equipment informatization rate + domestic substitution, the demand is still very strong in the future; Although the growth in the aerospace field is good, it may not be explosive because the order schedule is less than expected. With the gradual release of orders, the growth rate of the aerospace sector is expected to increase significantly in 2022.

When expanding production in the middle reaches of the industrial chain, the release of production capacity will drive the further growth of the whole industrial chain. From the comparison of industrial chain links, we find that due to (1) the short product cycle (2) the gradual release of capacity expansion from 2020 and the scale effect brought by the improvement of capacity utilization, the revenue and profit growth of upstream companies are significantly faster than that of midstream and downstream companies. At the same time, we have also observed that the expansion of production in the middle reaches of the industrial chain is under way. It is expected that the production capacity in the middle reaches of the industrial chain will be gradually released in 2022, so as to stimulate the upstream demand and promote the delivery of downstream products, and drive the further growth of the whole industrial chain. In terms of industrial chain selection, we believe that the upstream will still maintain rapid growth, and the middle and downstream enterprises are expected to usher in the upward movement of the profit growth center driven by the reform of state-owned enterprises. In addition, we will continue to pay attention to the progress of the reform of central enterprises and state-owned enterprises, and believe that the implementation of these reform measures will bring new vitality and valuation flexibility to the military industry sector dominated by central enterprises.

The performance is high, the growth certainty is high, the valuation is still in a reasonable range, and the volatility of the sector has weakened. Since 2021, the military industry has been in a new stage of development and has entered a long business cycle. The horizontal comparison of the valuation of the military industry sector is still in a high position, mainly due to the increased uncertainty of the macro environment over the past 18 years. Compared with the weak demand and economic growth in China, the deterministic advantages of national defense construction appear. Supported by the high prosperity and good performance of the industry (static valuation has a certain lag), the valuation center of the military industry sector moves upward. On the other hand, the valuation differentiation within the military industry sector is also obvious. The target valuation of the middle and upper reaches corresponds to 30x ~ 40x next year, which matches the compound growth rate of the next year and the next, and is still in a reasonably low position. In addition, despite the drastic adjustment in 2021q1, with the release of the quarterly report, the market’s consistent expectation for the growth sustainability of the military industry has gradually increased. At the same time, the comparative advantage of the national consumption attribute just needed by the military industry in the current environment has gradually emerged, and the comprehensive factors have steadily reduced the volatility of the sector (the proportion of institutional positions has increased).
