Core view: April or this year is the best time to lay out the automobile sector. 1) The valuation is relatively reasonable. Since December last year, the automobile has been adjusted continuously. At present, the automobile index PE and Pb are 35.3 times and 2.5 times respectively, which are in the percentile of 39.4% and 52.1% in the past three years. 2) Q1 is the low performance of the whole year. April is the month of centralized publication of the annual report of 21 years and the quarterly report of 22q1. According to the data of the current annual report, the median year-on-year growth rate of 21q4 net profit is 41.6%; Affected by the cost side pressure and the impact of the epidemic on production and sales, the performance of 22q1 is expected to be the lowest point of the whole year. 3) Share prices may have reflected the “hardest” fundamentals. With the mitigation of cost side pressure and epidemic disturbance, Q2 starts to improve the marginal performance, and the medium and long-term logic will dominate. In the era of smart cars, the strong rise of independent brands has led to the emergence of global vehicle enterprises; With the independent rise and Tesla pulling two wheel drive, domestic parts enterprises will be born as global parts leaders. Therefore, we believe that it is recommended to bargain hunting in the auto sector.
