While we think the pressure on the Hyundai JV will Key changes be relieved by more new models, the Beijing Motor local brand operation still Price target 9.50 to 7.40 ↓ -22.1% struggles, even with better sales, and is the primary reason for our earnings Sales (FYE) 84,048 to 81,101 ↓ -3.5% cuts. We now forecast a ~RMB3bn annual loss for Beijing Motor and assign a Op prof 6.6 to 6.4 ↓ -3.8% negative value of HKD2.8/share to it. This implies a valuation of 9x for the margin (FYE) Benz/Hyundai JVs' FY16E earnings growth of 12%, still justifying a Buy rating. Net profit 4,709.2 to ↓ -19.3% (FYE) 3,798.9 Benz JV’s sales volume up 52% in January; strong growth to continue Source: Deutsche Bank Based on Daimler’s (DAIGn.DE, EUR64.86, Buy) FY15 annual report, Beijing Benz JV made a profit of EUR862m (+178%), ahead of our expectations, on a Price/price relative 66% YoY jump in revenue. In January, the JV recoded a strong 52% YoY jump in sales volume and we remain upbeat given the JV’s FY16 sales and profit 12 outlook on the ramp-up of new model sales (e.g. GLC Class SUV). 11 9 We foresee mild growth in Hyundai JV; Beijing Motor losses to continue 8 In January, Beijing Hyundai registered a 27% YoY sales volume decline. While 6 we expect sales to improve with the upcoming launch of the Elantra Lingdong 5 compact sedan, we prudently assume that margins will remain under pressure 12/14 6/15 12/15 due to competition from Japanese brands. Meanwhile, Beijing Motor local BAIC Motor brands had a good start to the year with a 34% January sales volume YoY HANG SENG INDEX (Rebased) increase on new SUV sales, but we factor in more cautious loss assumptions Performance (%) 1m 3m 12m given the intense competition for local brands, especially in the SUV segment. Absolute -3.1 -24.0 -32.3 Maintaining Buy but no longer a Chinese auto top pick HANG SENG INDEX -1.6 -14.7 -23.8 We cut our earnings forecasts on BAIC Motor mainly due to bigger loss Source: Deutsche Bank assumptions for the local brands. We use a sum-of-the-parts (SoTP) approach to value BAIC, based on DCF-derived valuations for Beijing Benz, Beijing Hyundai, and Beijing Motor (see the valuation section for details). We think that the implied target FY16E P/E of 10.1x is justified, considering a 25% FY15- 17E EPS CAGR. Major downside risks include weak new model sales and a failure to contain costs. Our top Buy is Dongfeng (0489.HK, HKD9.56).
