Increase investment in research and development of new products, and micro prism products are expected to be in large quantities in 2023. 1) In 2020, the company successfully went public and raised 600 million yuan to invest in high-precision glass wafer and micro prism industry. Micro prism is the core optical element of periscope camera, and glass wafer is the main substrate for manufacturing ar optical waveguide lens. By the end of 2021, the company had invested 15% in the glass wafer project and 18% in the micro prism project. 2) In 2021, the company’s R & D expenses reached 44 million yuan, an increase of 62% at the same time, and the R & D rate reached 10.6%, mainly due to the investment of new projects. 3) According to the science and Innovation Board daily, apple is expected to release the periscope camera in 2023. The company has prominent competitive advantages in the field of glass cold processing. At present, it has conducted multiple rounds of samples for the world-famous optical component manufacturers. It is expected to successfully enter the apple micro prism project in the future. It is expected that the micro prism project is expected to gradually increase its volume and contribute incremental revenue to the company in 2023.
Investment suggestions:
Considering the large volume of micro prism projects in 2023, it is estimated that the parent company’s performance from 2022 to 2024 will be 140 million yuan, 280 million yuan and 400 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of – 3%, 110% and 41%. Maintain the buy rating, and the target price is 18 yuan (25 2023eps).
Risk warning: the main customers are relatively concentrated, the micro prism project is less than expected, the market competition intensifies the risk, and the risk of lifting the ban on restricted shares.
