At the same time, the company's multi product lines have made progress in the field of vehicle regulations. In 2021, the company released LG series MCU, which has successfully obtained aec-q100 certification. The target application fields include vehicle wiper, window, seat, door lock, air conditioner, electronic shifter, etc; Nonvolatile memory product line has also successfully entered mass production in the field of automotive electronics; The fm1280 chip of smart card and security chip and the FM17 series read-write chip of smart device chip have successfully obtained aecq100 certification, making a breakthrough in the fields of vehicle Tbox security chip and digital key.
Investment advice
Based on the smooth expansion of the company's new products and downstream applications, we adjusted our previous profit forecast and estimated that the company's revenue from 2022 to 2024 will be 3.35 billion yuan, 4.1 billion yuan and 5 billion yuan respectively (of which the revenue in 2022 and 2023 will be adjusted from the previous 2.958 billion yuan and 3.889 billion yuan to 3.35 billion yuan and 4.1 billion yuan); The net profits attributable to the shareholders of the parent company were RMB 656 million, RMB 922 million and RMB 1183 million respectively (of which, the net profits in 2022 and 2023 were adjusted to RMB 656 million and RMB 922 million from the previous RMB 441 million and RMB 601 million); EPS is 0.81 yuan / share, 1.13 yuan / share and 1.45 yuan / share respectively, and PE corresponding to the closing price of 45.02 yuan on March 18, 2022 is 55.90 times, 39.85 times and 31.03 times respectively. Based on the recent relatively large fluctuations in the overall semiconductor sector, we maintain the previous "overweight" rating.
