6 March 2017 Asia Pacific/China Equity Research Household Durables Haier Electronics Group Co., Ltd. (1169.HK / 1169 HK) Rating (from NEUTRAL) OUTPERFORM Price (02-Mar-17, HK$) 14.70 UPGRADE RATING Target price (HK$) (from 13.50) 18.20 Upside/downside (%) 23.8 Mkt cap (HK$/US$ mn) 41,044 / 5,287 Upgrade to OUTPERFORM on better outlook + Enterprise value (Rmb mn) 26,005 Number of shares (mn) 2,792 cheap valuations Free float (%) 43.8 52-wk price range (HK$) 15.02-11.04 ■ We upgrade Haier to OUTPERFORM on: (1) strong manufacturing sales, ADTO-6M (US$ mn) 5.8 driven by mix upgrade and home appliance industry recovery; (2) improving Target price is for 12 months. ICS earnings outlook on channel restructuring and operating leverage; (3) Research Analysts accelerating logistics sales on strengthened relationship with Alibaba; and (4) Raymond Ching 852 2101 7852 attractive valuation plus stronger EPS growth of 16%/12% in 2017E/18E vs [email protected] flat in 2016E. Our forecasts are 6%/4% above consensus for 2017/18. Carey Shi 852 2101 7729 ■ Mix upgrade and strong market expected to drive product sales. We see [email protected] accelerating product sales on stronger industry demand in 2017 after the recent industry price hike, the delayed positive impact from the strong property cycle in 2016 and rising replacement demand. While the potential property slowdown may affect industry sales mainly in 2018 (on ~9 months’ delay impact), we see it largely offset by the replacement cycle for products that were bought between the 2008 and 2013 government subsidy programmes. Haier is also more aggressive in launching gas heat water heaters and front load washing machines at higher selling prices to gain market share and lift ASP. ■ We expect integrated channel service (ICS) sales to accelerate to 10% from flat in 2016 on: (1) stronger market demand and channel reform bearing fruit in 1H16 and (2) faster logistics sales (14% of ICS and 10% of group) with stronger cooperation with Alibaba after it transfers stakes in Jan-2017. We expect ICS margin to improve on efficiency enhancement and scale increase. ■ Cheap valuation with better earnings outlook. Valuation looks cheap at 11x 2017E/18E P/E, below its historical average 13x P/E. We raise our earnings by 4%/6% in 2017/18E and lift our TP to HK$18.2 (from HK$13.5) based on SOTP. We assign 15x for its manufacturing business, 10x for the ICS business, and 20x for the logistics business.
