We believe Win Semi is expanding its addressable 12-month target NT$ 155.00 market beyond RF (radio frequency) components. We believe WiFi and cellular Upside/Downside % +27.0 content in smartphones will continue to increase, while the Infrastructure 12-month TSR % +30.7 segment will grow amid increasing data consumption demand. With margin Volatility Index High expansion on better product mix, we forecast Win Semi’s earnings to grow at a GICS sector 16% CAGR in 2016-19E. Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Optical devices: expanding TAM Market cap NT$m 49,129 Market cap US$m 1,630 We estimate optical devices will contribute 2%/4% of Win Semi’s revenue in 30-day avg turnover US$m 16.0 2017/18, mainly driven by VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) for Number shares on issue m 402.7 smartphone 3D sensing. In addition, the optical business should help Win Semi to expand the addressable market from RF components to a wider range of Investment fundamentals Year end 31 Dec 2016A 2017E 2018E 2019E applications like high data rate optical devices and auto electronics.

For cellular, more complex carrier Source: FactSet, Macquarie Research, May 2017 aggregation and 4x4 MIMO may serve as key growth drivers before 5G launches (all figures in NT$ unless noted, TP in TWD) in 2020. We expect WiFi/Cellular revenue to grow at a 10% CAGR in 2016-19. Infrastructure strong growth We expect Win Semi will continue to benefit from strong infrastructure growth amid increasing data consumption demand. Strong growth of LTE small cells could be one of the key growth drivers. Also, satellite communication, fiber- optics, and automobile connectivity should see increasing demand for RF content. In addition, infrastructure build for 5G should start around 2019-20, which would be a long-term growth driver for Win Semi’s Infrastructure business. We expect Infrastructure segment revenue to grow at 14% CAGR in 2016-19. Valuation and risks Our target P/E multiple of 15x is higher than its long-term trading average of 11x, as we believe the stock deserves a re-rating with an expanding TAM and 16% Analyst(s) earnings CAGR in 2016-19E. Our 2018 earnings estimate is higher than Macquarie Capital Limited, Taiwan Securities consensus by 6%, as we expect margin expansion on better product mix.
