2. The performance of upstream components continued to exceed expectations, and the prosperity of the industry was reconfirmed
This week, many companies released performance forecasts or performance letters for 2021. The performance of the main targets of the upstream components sector continued to grow at a high level, and the performance growth of some targets continued to exceed expectations. Among them, the performance of Unigroup Guoxin Microelectronics Co.Ltd(002049) increased by 136% – 160%, the performance of China Zhenhua (Group) Science & Technology Co.Ltd(000733) increased by 123% – 156%, and the performance of Fujian Torch Electron Technology Co.Ltd(603678) increased by 57.51% – 67.35% year-on-year. The performance growth of the above targets continued to exceed market expectations, The high prosperity of the military industry was reconfirmed. In the midstream manufacturing sector, Avic Heavy Machinery Co.Ltd(600765) performance increased by 153.05% year-on-year. As the core target in the aviation manufacturing field, its performance continued to exceed market expectations, which fully verified that the scale effect brought by the high boom of the aviation manufacturing industry and the release of downstream demand is becoming increasingly significant. With the orderly transmission of industry prosperity from top to bottom, the performance growth of middle and lower cursors is expected to accelerate. At present, the PE (TTM) quantile of Shenwan national defense military industry index in the past decade is only 33.01%. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the industry boom continued to improve, and the trend remained unchanged. It is suggested to focus on and configure the high-quality growth targets that have been wrongly killed recently.
3. The performance of some targets of the aviation department is lower than expected, resulting in short-term disturbance, and the general development trend of the industry remains unchanged
Aviation listed companies represented by Avic Shenyang Aircraft Company Limited(600760) and Avic Electromechanical Systems Co.Ltd(002013) also released performance forecasts this week. In Avic Shenyang Aircraft Company Limited(600760) 2021, the net profit attributable to the parent company was 1.696 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.56%; Avic Electromechanical Systems Co.Ltd(002013) in 2021, the net profit attributable to the parent company was 1.259 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 17.18%. The performance is significantly lower than the market expectation, resulting in pressure on the military industry sector. The lower performance is related to the increase of R & D expenses. We believe that the lower performance of some enterprises is only a short-term disturbance. According to the previously announced contract liabilities, production expansion plan and the performance of upstream supporting enterprises, the great development of aviation manufacturing industry in the 14th five year plan has a stable foundation, The high prosperity of the industry is also conducted from top to bottom, and the performance can be realized. The general development trend of the industry remains unchanged. From the medium and long-term perspective, the aviation manufacturing industry chain still has great investment opportunities.
