Ai'an maintained rapid growth and GAC motor entered the hybrid market. Ai'an brand maintained rapid growth in the first quarter. In March, the sales volume exceeded 20000 units for the first time, and the proportion of C-end customers continued to increase. At present, GAC ai'an is valued at about 39 billion yuan, and the subsequent ai'an brand will be equipped with a new logo to continuously consolidate the brand position of ai'an in the new energy market. GAC motor recently officially released a brand-new hybrid technology brand - torque wave hybrid, which realizes the combination of turbocharged engine and th system on the basis of Toyota th hybrid system. The first torque wave hybrid model, yingku, has also been officially released and is expected to be listed in 2022. In addition, the company will successively launch hybrid models of Yingbao and M8. We are optimistic about the development prospect of the company's hybrid models.
Profit forecast and investment suggestions: in the first quarter of 2022, the shortage of chips and the rise of raw material prices troubled the whole automobile industry, but the company performed steadily in the face of supply pressure and rising costs. The sales volume of ai'an reached new highs repeatedly, and the implementation of mixed reform helped the brand of ai'an to continue to rise. GAC motor brand started the mixed cycle. The new cars of Guangfeng and guangben are highly competitive and have great profit elasticity, which is the ballast of the company's profits. Based on the latest situation of the company, we slightly raised the net profit forecast of the company in 2022 / 2023 / 2024 to 9.89 billion / 11.75 billion / 13.24 billion (the original net profit forecast in 2022 / 2023 / 2024 was 9.65 billion / 11.28 billion / 12.48 billion), maintaining the "recommended" rating of the company.
Risk tips: 1) the shortage of core parts such as chips will directly affect the company's sales and market share; 2) The cost of raw materials in the upstream of new energy increased, and the end demand was restrained after the price rise of Eyan, resulting in the sales volume of Eyan falling short of expectations; 3) The epidemic isolation policy causes the company to face the risk of interruption of production, operation and supply chain; 4) The profits of the joint ventures GAC Toyota and GAC Honda are less than expected, which will have a negative impact on the overall profitability of the group.
