This week’s view: continue to be optimistic about independent rise + electric intelligence + motorcycle

Great changes have taken place in automotive intelligent and electric vehicles, reshaping the industrial order and looking forward to the golden decade of the automotive industry. Core portfolio of this month [ Bethel Automotive Safety Systems Co.Ltd(603596) , Byd Company Limited(002594) , Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) , Suzhou Sonavox Electronics Co.Ltd(688533) , Jiangsu Xinquan Automotive Trim Co.Ltd(603179) , Wencan Group Co.Ltd(603348) , Zhejiang Cfmoto Power Co.Ltd(603129) ].

Passenger cars: the resumption of work and production has been gradually promoted, with positive changes this week. On Tuesday, Saic Motor Corporation Limited(600104) Lingang passenger car factory completed the resumption of work, and the first vehicle under the pressure test of resumption of production was offline; On Friday, the great wall tank 300 began to resume production. We expect that with the promotion of resumption of production and work, the sales volume of the whole industry is expected to improve month on month from May to June, and the supply gap in the early stage will be made up by working overtime, which has great flexibility. The penetration rate of new energy increased rapidly. In March, the wholesale sales volume of narrow passenger vehicles was 1.82 million, and the monthly penetration rate of new energy exceeded 25%. We are firmly optimistic about the independent rise and realize the improvement of brand and market share through reform.

Parts: Electric Intelligence reshapes the industrial order, rapid performance growth + new fixed-point catalysis, and firmly look at many parts. Intellectualization will be the core theme of this year. Intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit will accelerate together, and we are optimistic about the accelerated penetration of acoustics + chassis by wire + domain controller; Electrification accelerates the development of lightweight, Tesla leads the integrated die casting, and improves the industry concentration while increasing the industry expansion. It is recommended to select the target from the customer dimension (new forces and other industrial chains) + product dimension (incremental parts), and the two-dimensional resonance is the best.

1. Customer dimension:

Compared with the traditional fuel vehicle, the iteration speed of the new force model is faster, the verification cycle of the supply chain is shortened, and the supply chain tends to be flattened, driving the performance growth curve of the industrial chain company to become steeper. Recommend Tesla + new forces industrial chain: [ Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) , Jiangsu Xinquan Automotive Trim Co.Ltd(603179) , Suzhou Sonavox Electronics Co.Ltd(688533) , Wuxi Longsheng Technology Co.Ltd(300680) , Wencan Group Co.Ltd(603348) ], beneficiary [ Ningbo Xusheng Auto Technology Co.Ltd(603305) ].

2. Product dimension:
