In 2021, thanks to the accelerated penetration and pixel upgrading of CIS in the automotive field and the demand for higher-level CIS in intelligent scenes, the company’s CIS business further increased; Thanks to the good demand of T DDI products and the penetration of the company’s related products in customers, the touch and display business has also developed rapidly. In the future, the demand for automotive CIS and t DDI is expected to remain strong. The company also continues to make efforts in CIS, touch, simulation and other businesses, and is expected to continue to realize multi line development.

Profit forecast and investment suggestions. The company still maintains strong R & D in the case of high market share. From 2022 to 2024, the company’s EPS is expected to be 6.49/8.21/9.97 yuan respectively. Considering the company’s space in on-board CIS and the still strong demand for tddi under the tight situation, we continue to be optimistic about the company’s industry position and maintain the “buy” rating.

Risk warning: the downstream demand is less than the expected risk; Customer development is less than expected risk; Risk of falling product prices.
