From the perspective of the revenue growth of subsidiaries, the aviation development and derivatives business of Liyang company is growing rapidly, the batch production of models is progressing smoothly, and the performance of the company may continue to grow with the large volume of downstream military aircraft.

The new model number is gradually in large quantities, waiting for the improvement of the profit side. Many models in production of the company are in the early stage of batch production, and there is great room to improve the process maturity and yield (such as machining yield, turbine blade casting yield, etc.), at the same time, the new model has a high frequency of return to factory maintenance and field technical support in the early stage of batch production. In the future, with the scale benefits brought by the increase of delivery and the gradual maturity of production technology, the company will have a great improvement on the cost side and expense side, and the profit margin will continue to improve. At present, military aircraft are in the stage of mass production and fast delivery, and the company has strong demand for military aeroengine products. At the same time, as a consumable, under the background of military training and war preparation, the demand for Aeroengines will further expand, the back-end maintenance market will also grow steadily, and the company has a large growth space in the future.

Profit forecast: it is estimated that the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 will be 1.448 billion yuan, 1.92 billion yuan and 2.549 billion yuan respectively, and EPS will be 0.54 yuan, 0.72 yuan and 0.96 yuan respectively, with corresponding valuations of 72x, 54x and 41x. Considering the high prosperity of the aviation development track during the 14th Five Year Plan period, the company, as the leader in the aviation development field, has obvious advantages in its core card position. The company is given a PE valuation of 85 ~ 95 times in 2022, with a corresponding price range of 45.90 ~ 51.30 yuan, maintaining the “recommended” rating of the company.

Risk tip: product R & D and delivery are not as expected, upstream costs increase, and downstream demand slows down.
