View of Auto Industry Week: this week, the auto sector continued to decline, underperforming Shanghai and Shenzhen 300, and the performance is in the middle among the Shenwan level industries. According to the data released by China Automobile Circulation Association, the inventory early warning index of Chinese automobile dealers in April was 66.4%, up 10 percentage points year-on-year and 2.8 percentage points month on month. The inventory early warning index is above the boom and bust line, and the automobile circulation industry is in the recession range. Epidemic factors still had a negative impact on the automobile production and sales data in April. Since the middle and late April, the automobile industry chain in Shanghai, Jilin and other places has gradually resumed work and production. At the same time, recently, Guangdong, Shenyang and other places have introduced subsidy measures to promote automobile consumption. As one of the key supporting industries for the country to achieve the expected goal of stable growth, with the stability of epidemic prevention and control, the industrial chain will be reactivated, the production and sales will be replenished after the epidemic, and the probability of subsequent automobile production and sales will be marginally improved, driving the demand for parts and components to rise. After the impact of the epidemic, the valuation of the sector fell back to the historical center. It is suggested to pay attention to high-quality parts suppliers who actively grasp the development opportunities of automobile electrification and intelligence: Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) ( Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) ), Huizhou Desay Sv Automotive Co.Ltd(002920) ( Huizhou Desay Sv Automotive Co.Ltd(002920) ), Foryou Corporation(002906) ( Foryou Corporation(002906) ), Bethel Automotive Safety Systems Co.Ltd(603596) ( Bethel Automotive Safety Systems Co.Ltd(603596) ), Wencan Group Co.Ltd(603348) ( Wencan Group Co.Ltd(603348) ).
Risk tip: the risk of automobile production and sales falling short of expectations, the risk of sharp rise in raw material prices, and the risk of impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the global automobile industry chain.
