The “one-stop” mode solves the pain points of the industry and opens up the growth space for automation needs
Under the traditional procurement mode, customers usually have engineers draw, select and submit demand applications for each part respectively, and the procurement department performs material procurement. They often face problems such as low procurement efficiency, high cost, uncontrollable quality, untimely delivery and so on. Under the one-stop procurement mode, the company standardizes non-standard products, serializes and modularizes existing standard products, and matches with auxiliary tools such as product catalog manual and online selection procurement system, which can effectively improve the efficiency of customer design and procurement. Intelligent manufacturing and industrial automation are the general trend. Its main downstream industries Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) , smart phones, new energy vehicles, lithium battery equipment and photovoltaic equipment are in the golden development period. As an automation parts supplier, the company will fully benefit from the development opportunities of intelligent manufacturing.
Benchmarking with international leader Mismi, there is a broad space for growth
Mismi is a global leader in the one-stop supply of automation parts. In fiscal year 2021, the revenue of FA automation business reached 6.39 billion yuan (the exchange rate is based on Japanese Yen: 16:1). In addition, the revenue from the Chinese market was 3.97 billion yuan. In fiscal year 2020, the number of commodity categories distributed reached 26.7 million, covering 301400 customers. Compared with the international leader Mismi, Dongguan Yiheda Automation Co.Ltd(301029) still has a certain gap in category richness, number of customers, delivery speed, operating income, information and digitization, per capita income generation, etc., but has advantages in localized services, profitability and applicability to local automation equipment. On the whole, with the continuous enhancement of the company’s strength in product categories, supply chain management and other aspects, its competitive advantage will become more and more obvious. Under the background of the rapid development of automation in China, there is a broad growth space.
Profit forecast and investment rating: as the leading supplier of local automation parts, the company actively expands its business field, improves its competitive advantage and has outstanding growth. We expect the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2021 to 2023 to be RMB 400 million, RMB 590 million and RMB 850 million respectively, and the corresponding dynamic PE of the current stock price is 68, 46 and 32 times respectively. For the first time, give a “overweight” rating.
Risk tips: the development of downstream industries is less than expected, the risk of intensified market competition, the risk of new product development, and the risk of loss of core personnel.
