Key investment points:
Zhou's view update: on December 31, the four ministries and commissions issued the notice on the financial subsidy policy for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in 2022, which requires that the subsidy standard for new energy vehicles in 2022 be reduced by 30% on the basis of 2021. The decline was clearly mentioned in the new energy vehicle subsidy notice issued in April 2020. Therefore, many consumers buy lock-in concessions in advance and have certain psychological expectations for the rise of vehicle prices in the future. We believe that the new energy vehicle market has changed from policy driven to market driven. In the face of strong downstream demand, the decline of subsidies has a limited impact on the overall market growth of new energy vehicles, and the overall new energy vehicles will still show steady growth in the future.
On December 31, the rear drive versions of Tesla Model 3 and model y announced price increases. After the price rise, the model y rear drive version will no longer enjoy state subsidies. Considering the soaring price of raw materials, the shortage of chips, the tight supply of power batteries and the shortage of manpower caused by the epidemic this year, the price adjustment is an inevitable result. Tesla has adjusted prices in China many times this year, but downstream demand is still strong, and sales have not been significantly affected. Therefore, we believe that in the environment of generally rising automobile production costs and generally increasing vehicle prices, Tesla can better deal with the impact of price adjustment on downstream demand with its outstanding brand strength and product strength. This price adjustment will not put too much pressure on Tesla's sales volume.
Industry rating and investment strategy: maintain the "recommended" rating of the automotive industry. Optimistic about the continued growth of the automobile market. We believe that this round of chip shortage will accelerate the reconstruction of the new pattern of the automobile market, continue to be optimistic about the accelerated rise of independent brands, and continue to be optimistic about new energy / new forces to seize the market share of traditional automobiles.
