Scenario analysis on the resumption of factory production OUTPERFORM (Maintain)

Factories in China, except Hubei, are scheduled to resume operation today. We China Capital Goods evaluate the companies under our coverage from several dimensions, including location of factories, capacity utilization, downstream demand and cash flow Wayne Fung, CFA management. Our base case scenario suggests that the overall earnings impact (852) 3900 0826 for the full year should be limited, as the sales volume in 1Q (the traditional peak [email protected] season) will potentially be shifted to 2Q or 3Q (low seasons) when the construction activities pick up when the epidemic is under control. We believe potential share price volatility in the near term will serve as opportunities to accumulate quality names such as SANY Heavy (600031 CH, BUY, TP:

RMB19.0), Jiangsu Hengli (601100 CH, BUY, TP: RMB54.0) and Weichai

Power (2338 HK, BUY, TP: HK$17.9 / 000338 CH, BUY, TP: RMB15.9).

 Utilization rate to gradually increase. For the companies under our coverage, no production base is located in Hubei province (figure 1). Some companies such as Weichai, SANY Heavy and Zoomlion have already resumed production since last week while others will restart today. That said, we do expect most of them will only ramp up its production gradually due to the potential labour shortage in the near term. Companies are trying their best to ramp up production to fulfil the existing orders, based on our check. Related Reports  Expect mild delay on downstream demand. Demand for construction 1. SANY International (631 HK, BUY) machinery are mainly driven by infrastructure, property and mining activities. – Significant increase in 2019E Delay of the construction activities will affect the demand for the construction earnings; Normal operation at present – 4 Feb 2020 machinery in the near term.

We see little risk for big companies to encounter Jan 2020 financial difficulties. 5. Zoomlion-H (1157 HK, BUY) – 2019E net profit to grow 113-123%  Base case scenario - The epidemic to come under control by the end of YoY; in line with expectation – 16 Jan 2020 1Q.
