Matters:

Announcement of the company: the company issued the draft equity incentive plan. The number of restricted shares to be granted in the incentive plan is 4 million shares, accounting for about 1.00% of the total share capital of the company at the time of announcement of the draft incentive plan. The total number of incentive objects granted by the incentive plan shall not exceed 463, including senior managers, middle managers, technical backbone personnel and business backbone personnel who worked in the company (including subsidiaries) when the company announced the incentive plan. The grant price of restricted shares in the incentive plan is 24.60 yuan / share.

Guoxin automobile view: as the scarce target of China’s automotive electronics, the company has high-quality customer structure, and its core product lamp controller has strong competitive advantages. In the future, it will benefit from volume increase, price increase and multiple categories, and the medium and long-term growth logic is smooth. On the one hand, this equity incentive scheme will help bind the interests of the team, on the other hand, it will also demonstrate the management’s confidence in the future of the company. Taking into account the impact of the epidemic, lack of core, the rise in the price of raw materials and the decline in production and sales of the company’s main customer Volkswagen Group, the profit forecast is lowered, and the net profit is expected to be RMB 430 / 6.3 / 850 million in the year 21 / 22 / 23 (the early profit forecast is RMB 540 / 7.9 / 1.07 billion). We give Keboda Technology Co.Ltd(603786) 2530 times PE in 2023, and the updated one-year target price range is 53-64 yuan (89-99 yuan in the previous time). The current stock price of the company still has 24% – 55% room to improve from the target valuation range, maintaining the “buy” investment rating.

Taking the operating revenue and net profit of 2021 as the performance base, the operating revenue growth rate (a) and net profit growth rate (b) of each year’s fixed comparison performance base are assessed, and the sales restriction lifting ratio is calculated according to the coefficients (x) and (y) corresponding to the completion of the above two indicators. The conditions for all unlocking are as follows: Based on the revenue and net profit in 2021, the target revenue in 2022 will increase by 15% and the net profit by 10%; In 2023, the revenue increased by 32% and the net profit increased by 21%; In 2024, the revenue increased by 52% and the net profit increased by 33%.

Investment suggestion: lower the profit forecast and maintain the “buy” rating.

As the scarce target of China’s automotive electronics, the company has high-quality customer structure, and its core product lamp controller has strong competitive advantages. In the future, the company will benefit from volume increase, price increase and multiple categories. The medium and long-term growth logic is smooth. On the one hand, this equity incentive scheme helps to bind the interests of the team, on the other hand, it also shows the management’s confidence in the future of the company. Taking into account the impact of the epidemic, lack of core, the rise in the price of raw materials and the decline in production and sales of the company’s main customer Volkswagen Group, the profit forecast is lowered, and the net profit is expected to be RMB 430 / 6.3 / 850 million in the year 21 / 22 / 23 (the early profit forecast is RMB 540 / 7.9 / 1.07 billion).

The lowered profit forecast is mainly due to the decline in revenue and gross profit caused by the epidemic, lack of core and the rise in the price of raw materials. The company’s revenue and gross profit are split as follows: investment suggestions: We selected three growth enterprises with similar market capitalization (30-50billion) for comparison, mainly Chinese leading automotive machinery enterprises with specific software R & D strength Huizhou Desay Sv Automotive Co.Ltd(002920) Continuous expansion of product categories Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) . Referring to 26.7 times of the target valuation range of comparable companies in 2023 (automotive electronics enterprises have a large valuation premium compared with traditional parts), we give Keboda Technology Co.Ltd(603786) 2530 times PE in 2023, and update the one-year target price range to 53-64 yuan (89-99 yuan in the previous time). The current stock price of the company still has 26% – 51% room to improve from the target valuation range and maintain the “buy” investment rating.

Risk tips

Affected by the epidemic, the downstream sales volume does not meet expectations and the upstream chip price rise risk.
