We believe that as the leader of body structural parts, the company has obvious first mover advantage of integrated die casting, and the mass production of new products such as battery boxes also contributes to the growth power. It is expected that with the stabilization of raw material prices and the release of scale effect after the stable mass production of new products, the company’s performance is expected to improve rapidly. Considering the impact of the epidemic since 2022, we lowered the company’s profit forecast for 20222023 and added a new company for 2024. It is estimated that the net profit attributable to the parent company in 20222024 will be 2.24/4.71 (original value: 2.98 / 4.99) / 762 million yuan, EPS will be 0.86/1.80/2.91 yuan / share, corresponding to the current PE price of 37.7/18.0/11.1 times, maintaining the “buy” rating.

The operation of Bailian was stable throughout the year, the revenue of the headquarters maintained growth, and the profitability is expected to be repaired

In 2021, Wencan headquarters achieved a revenue of 1.922 billion yuan (year-on-year + 20.1%), and France Bailian achieved a revenue of 2.190 billion yuan. Bailian operated steadily throughout the year and contributed to its main performance (net profit of 80.46 million yuan in 2021h1). In terms of headquarters, the increase of revenue mainly comes from the large volume of Weilai orders, while the decline of profitability is mainly due to the production reduction of Volkswagen and other customers affected by the lack of core and the rise of raw material prices, and the lag of customer price adjustment / compensation. In 2021q4, the gross profit margin of the company was 18.9%, a month on month increase of +3.0pcts, showing an improvement trend.
