Weekly report of new energy vehicle industry: the epidemic situation may exacerbate the negative expectations of the industry, and the bottom range bargain hunting layout of high-quality assets

Key investment points

Industry perspective

The epidemic situation may aggravate the short-term shock of the sector, and the value of the bottom range is highlighted; The industry chain is seriously divided and selected; Bargain hunting layout of high-quality assets, it is recommended to focus on the layout opportunities of lithium batteries with good expected margin.

1) the epidemic situation may aggravate the short-term shock of the sector, and it is recommended to bargain hunting and layout high-quality assets. The recent outbreak of the epidemic in many places in China, such as Shanghai, Jiangsu and Jilin, has a great impact on the automobile industry and many industrial chain enterprises have been affected, resulting in the phased impact on the production scheduling and shipment volume of enterprises in some epidemic areas, which aggravates the negative expectations for the new energy automobile industry. We believe that the epidemic may curb short-term demand, but the subsequent easing of the epidemic will promote demand recovery, increase demand fluctuations during the year, and then increase sector shocks. On the whole, based on the high probability of “rush loading” of China’s subsidy clearing at the end of the year, we maintain the global sales forecast of 9.5 ~ 10 million in 2022, the demand of the industrial chain will continue to increase, and the performance cashability of the leading enterprises is still strong. It is suggested to layout high-quality assets on a bargain hunting basis.

2) it is suggested to focus on the layout opportunities of lithium batteries with good expected margin. In terms of product price, lithium carbonate, lithium hexafluorophosphate, electrolyte, cathode and other subdivided fields show a high stabilization or downward trend. The cost of lithium battery may decline marginally, superimposed with the price rise of new energy vehicle terminals, which is conducive to alleviating or eliminating the negative expectations of the market that the price or cost transmission is not smooth. Based on this, lithium power battery enterprises, which were previously suppressed by the rise of raw material costs and their performance and valuation, will usher in better marginal expectations. Investors are strongly recommended to focus on lithium battery layout opportunities. In terms of certainty, we recommend Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) , Byd Company Limited(002594) , Eve Energy Co.Ltd(300014) .

3) industrial chain differentiation: the best is the best: profit distribution will be the key point of the industrial chain game in 2022, which is reflected in the game in the secondary market. Unit profit, market share and technological marginal change are the key factors to evaluate enterprises α The core element of growth attribute. In general, we continue to be optimistic about high nickel ternary, diaphragm, power battery and some of them α High quality leading assets.

Subject recommendation

Under the general trend of global “double carbon” strong driving and supply resonance driving the continuous growth of demand, the outlook of the industrial chain will continue to rise. We maintain the “overweight” rating of the new energy vehicle industry. At the same time, it is suggested to pay attention to the medium and long-term investment opportunities in the direction of energy storage and fuel cell for industrial extension.
