Feel the pulse (Oct, 2018) – negative momentum building up

How bad is it?

Pretty bad, per our latest channel checks. Not only did China’s IA demand slow further in October, but the outlook in the coming months has also turned cloudier. The channel checks match our forecast model, which now predicts -0.4% YoY growth for 4Q (vs. +4% forecast previously) as most leading indicators continued to trend south. Major local players, due to their better exposure, are placed to outperform MNCs with even larger margins. Within MNCs, JP/TW companies are likely to su er more than US/EU ones, due to their heavier exposure to 3C and auto and more product sales.

When will the bottom come?

M1, equipment investment, and manufacturing PMI, which lead China's IA demand by 3-4 quarters, have continued to drop YTD. Meanwhile, the government hasn't unveiled any specific supportive policies for manufacturing sectors, and it typically takes 2-3 quarters for policies to translate into demand. Together with a high base in 1H18, IA demand is highly likely to continue to struggle in the coming 1-2 quarters, with a chance of posting new lows in 1H19. Looking into the last cycle, most IA stocks in the region started re-rating in 1Q16 along with the bottoming out of China's IA demand.

Channel checks – overwhelmingly negative

Gongkong expects overall demand to continue to slow (+2-4% in October, flattish in November, and negative growth in December vs. +4.8% in 3Q), on corporates' lower investment appetite and a tough comp. A leading local player also saw orders (mainly servo and inverters) slow to 20% plus in October (vs. +40% for 9M). Management also claimed the outlook remains challenging, especially for the servo business, which is heavily weighed by the weakness in electronics and machine tools. A domestic IA distributor witnessed a 50% YoY order decline in October (vs. 30-40% in 3Q), with weakness across all the downstream verticals. In terms of November, the distributor claimed no rebound at all.

Stock calls – prefer leading locals

Our forecast models now anticipate local players outperforming MNCs with even bigger margins, thanks to their more favorable vertical exposure (ie more general manufacturing sectors). Thus, we continue to prefer locals inc. Inovance, Estun, HOLI and believe LT value for these names has emerged. Investors may start accumulating and hedge with MNCs. We trim our earnings forecasts for Inovance and Estun, given the cloudier outlook and softer-than-expected 3Q.

Valuations and risks:

We use the DCF method to value the IA companies, given the stable cash flows. For Estun, our new TP comes to RMB16 (vs. RMB17 previously), which implies 40x 2020E P/E. We think this looks reasonable, given 53% EPS CAGR projected in 2017-20E. We continue to like Inovance, given its leading position in China's IA market, leveraging its advanced technology know-how and widest range of IA and NEV products. Along with its active position in large power inverters, we expect a 23% earnings CAGR in 2017-20E. Our new TP of RMB32 (vs. RMB34 previously) implies 36x 2019E P/E. For HOLI, we expect stable demand in process automation and the company's penetration in other verticals to drive very strong orders for its IA business ahead. We maintain our Buy and our TP of US$29 corresponds to a non-GAAP- based P/E of 14x on FY19E, supported by 16% EPS CAGR over FY18-21E. Key risks: slower-than-expected IA growth and import substitutions.

Stock picks

Hollysys Automation (HOLI.OQ), Buy, target price US$29)

Investment thesis

Hollysys Automation (HOLI) is one of China's leading providers of industrial automation and rail automation solutions. Despite the near-term slowdown in China's overall automation market, Hollysys's exposure mainly to the project market should ensure more resilient growth than its overseas peers. With surging railway length completion and manufacturing further gaining momentum, we think Hollysys will maintain a multi-year robust recovery trajectory (16% EPS CAGR over FY18-20E). This should drive a further re-rating in the shares, in our view. We rate the stock Buy, based on the attractive risk-reward profile.

Valuation

We use DCF to value HOLI, given its stable cash flow. Our TP is based on a WACC of 12.3% and conservatively assumes terminal growth of 0% (given its exposure to the railway business). Our cost of equity assumption incorporates a risk-free rate of 3.9%, an equity risk premium of 5.6% and a beta of 1.5x. Our target price corresponds to a non-GAAP-based P/E of 14x/12x and a P/B of 1.8x/1.6x on FY19E/FY20E. In the previous earnings upcycle (FY14-16), during which earnings accelerated significantly on rail recovery, the stock traded at 12x on average and its P/E multiple expanded to 14-16x at the later stage.

Risk

Key downside risks include: 1) an unexpected slowdown in China's economic growth and capex spending on automation upgrades; 2) an unexpected slowdown in China's railway investment and demand for high-speed rail trains; and 3) poor execution of investments.

Shenzhen Inovance (300124.SZ, Buy, target price RMB32)

Investment thesis

As a leading Chinese industrial automation provider, Shenzhen Inovance currently provides the best investment exposure to China's manufacturing upgrades and robotics themes, in our view. Leveraging its advanced technology know-how and market insights, Inovance is likely to lead the ongoing import substitution in China's IA market, which should support a 23% earnings CAGR in 2017-20E. Specifically, after multi-year positioning via internal R&D and acquisitions,

Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong

13 November 2018 Manufacturing

China Industrial Automation

Inovance has developed the widest range of products in the IA field of all the domestic players, which should allow it to capture the major change in customers' buying behaviour, from product adopters to solution seekers. In the medium term, we expect its passenger NEV drive business to emerge as a significant growth driver, which, along with continued strength in the IA segment, should enable the company to sustain its high growth. In the long term, we remain optimistic about Inovance's expansion into industrial robots. Hence, we rate the shares Buy.

Valuation

We use DCF to value Inovance, given its stable cash flow. We lower our earnings forecast for 2018-20E by an average of 7% factoring in the slowing IA demand. Our target price is based on a WACC of 8.0% and a terminal growth assumption of 2%. Our cost of equity assumption incorporates a risk-free rate of 3.9%, an equity risk premium of 5.6% and a beta of 0.95x. Our target price corresponds to a P/E of 46x/36x on 2018/19E, close to one standard deviation above its long-term mid-cycle level, supported by the long-term growth potential of China's intelligent manufacturing sector, as well as an improving outlook for its passenger NEV drive business.

Risk

Key downside risks include: 1) an unexpected slowdown in China's economic activity; 2) slower-than-expected new energy vehicle sales in China; 3) slower- than-expected development of new products and market penetration; and 4) poor execution of M&A.

Estun Automation (002747.SZ, Buy, target price RMB16)

Investment thesis

The evolution of Estun's business portfolio, centered around motion control technology, closely resembles the development history of Fanuc, which has been a proven path to success in the IA field. With three elements for success — right time, right place and right people — all aligned, Estun, in our view, is well positioned to lead the ongoing import substitution in two of the fastest-growing product categories within China's IA market, namely servo and industrial robots.

China Industrial Automation

With a projected EPS CAGR of 53% for 2017-20E, the highest among our coverage universe of China industrial automation sector, we rate the shares Buy.

Valuation

In line with our methodology for other Chinese IA names, we use a DCF to value Estun, given its stable cash flow outlook. We cut our 2018-20E earnings by 14% on average, due to the cloudy outlook and higher operating expenses. Our target price is based on a WACC of 9.4% and a terminal growth assumption of 5% (given the long-term growth potential for China's industrial robot market). Our cost of equity assumption incorporates a risk-free rate of 3.9%, an equity risk premium of 5.6% and a beta of 1.3x. Our target price corresponds to a P/E of 40x on 2020E, supported by its robust growth prospects (53% CAGR projected for 2017-20E) and strong positioning in China's industrial robot and servo markets.

Risk

Key downside risks include: 1) an unexpected slowdown in China’s IA market; 2) slower-than-expected import substitution in China's industrial robot and servo markets; 3) an unexpected increase in raw material costs; 4) poor execution of M&A; and 5) key personnel departures.
