Mando Corp (204320 KS) Rating Buy Buy We are revising up our global EV shipment forecasts for 2016-30 and our Target 300,000 260,000 market forecasts for smart cars for 2016-25. In turn, we now see a stronger Upside p 34.5% earnings growth trajectory for auto parts makers over the next 3 years. Hanon Systems (018880 KS) Rating Buy Buy What's the impact: Upward revisions to EV and smart-car market Target 15,000 13,000 forecasts. We now see stronger growth drivers for EVs globally, backed Upside p 32.7% by: 1) a more stringent regulatory environment for fuel-economy and Hyundai Motor (005380 KS) Rating Buy Buy emission control standards, 2) a stronger shipment growth trajectory from Target 170,000 170,000 China, and 3) a faster-than-expected decline in EV battery prices. As such, Upside p 21.4% we are raising our EV demand forecast globally to 2,600,000 units by 2020 Source: Daiwa forecasts (2015-20E CAGR of 36.9%) from 750,000 units (CAGR of 28.3%). For smart cars, we now expect the automotive electronics market to reach USD341.3bn by 2020 (2015-20E CAGR of 8.4%) from USD323.1bn (CAGR of 7.3%), on: 1) more stringent safety measures, 2) a faster rise in electronic content per vehicle for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), connectivity and infotainment, and 3) information and communication technology (ICT) players’ focus on uncovering new growth angles. We expect auto parts’ makers to lead the pack and enjoy higher profitability vs. OEMs over the long term, through their competency in key components for EVs and smart cars as well as their system-supplying capabilities. While the end-customer (auto OEMs and ICT players) market is fragmented, there are only a few players globally with these capabilities. As such, auto parts makers have been recording higher operating profit than OEMs, and we expect this trend to continue over the next 3 years. What we recommend: We look for Mando Corp (Mando) and Hanon Systems (Hanon) to lead the way in earnings visibility and expansion of trading multiples, on their strong competitive edge as system suppliers for thermal energy management and ADAS capabilities. We lift our 12-month DCF/PER-based TPs for Mando to KRW300,000 (from KRW260,000) and for Hanon to KRW15,000 (from KRW13,000). On a 6-month view, we also like HMC for its rising presence in SUVs, alongside favourable trends in developed-markets (DM) and emerging-market (EM) currencies. And we take another look at Woory Industrials (not rated) and S&T Motive (not rated), both small-cap suppliers of EV components. How we differ: We are above the market on 2016-18E EPS for the sector, as we think it has yet to factor in Hanon and Mando’s product-mix improvements.
