Henan Liliang Diamond Co.Ltd(301071) (301071)
Investment logic
As a mainstream supplier of superhard materials, cultivating diamond is expected to become a new growth engine: the company is a head supplier of superhard materials in China. It is mainly engaged in three major businesses: diamond single crystal / micro powder / cultivating diamond. Among them, cultivating diamond grows rapidly, with 1h21 revenue accounting for 41% and becoming the largest business. 21.9.24 the net amount raised by listing on the gem was 274 million yuan, which was used to purchase press equipment, expand production capacity (with a total investment of 516 million yuan and a construction period of 3 years) and technology R & D (with a total investment of 45 million yuan and a construction period of 1.5 years).
The promotion of recognition of cultivated drilling terminals promotes the prosperity of the industrial chain and is beneficial to the upstream head manufacturers with technology and equipment advantages: China accounts for 40% of the global cultivated drilling capacity, and the high temperature and high pressure (HTHP) technology is the world leader. Benefiting from the opening of downstream demand and midstream processing, India’s import and export has continued to increase at a high rate in the past 19 years, and the import and export have increased by 173% / 100% respectively from January to November in 21 years. Head manufacturers such as Henan Huanghe Whirlwind Co.Ltd(600172) / Zhongnan diamond / Henan Liliang Diamond Co.Ltd(301071) / Henan diamond account for 70% of the national production and sales. The competitiveness of upstream manufacturers lies in technical strength / holding of press equipment (first mover advantage) / financial strength.
The company has advanced technology and relatively new equipment, with excellent profitability: 1) equipment: it has been put into operation at the end of 20 years φ 800/ φ 750/ φ 700 type press accounts for 37% / 11% / 43%, and the industry φ Models of 650 and below account for 81%, and the company’s equipment capacity / yield is higher; 2) Technology: the proportion of large particle / high-grade production and marketing has increased significantly, driving the average price of cultivated drill 1q21 to increase by 141% compared with 20 years. Compared with peers, the company has low expense rate and high gross profit margin. Due to the limited supply of press and a certain period from ordering to production, the company has strong certainty of equipment growth; The overall price of cultivation drill has declined, but high-grade single crystals are still relatively scarce and the price is strong. The company’s production technology advantage is reflected in its superior profitability.
