x Country 1 July 2019 Pan-Asia Tech Rating: Positive Implications on tech sector from the G20 meeting: back to square one MEMO Rick Hsu Summary: While seemingly no concrete outcome was seen after the president Trump-Xi (886) 2 8758 6261 talk at the G20 Osaka Summit, our takeaways appear to be a likely easing of the Huawei [email protected] ban, which should help appease recent market jitters, although we have not seen much Elina Lin order cuts in the supply chain after the Huawei issue started on 16 May. That said, it looks (886) 2 8758 6262 to us that tech fundamentals are back to square one after this period of turbulence; as [email protected] such, we continue to flag the 4 secular trends leading to 6 investment themes as our guideline for 2019 tech investment, where we expect the Huawei supply-chain players to rally especially in the near term due to the recent tumble in their share prices. What’s the impact Likely easing of the Huawei ban. With the G20 Osaka Summit ending on the weekend, and still no concrete outcome from the president Trump-Xi talks regarding the trade-negotiation progress, our takeaways appear to be on a possible easing of the export ban against Huawei, which should lead to a resumption in the supply of key chips/components/software/technology to the Chinese telecom-equipment giant from US companies and bodes well for the related supply chain, including for 5G and 3D build-outs. That being said, we will await official announcement of the lifting of the ban before drawing our final conclusion because we understand the action is still conditional, and Huawei remains on the Entity List. Back to square one. Our market research since the Huawei issue blew up on 16 May has suggested that, despite some order adjustments in the smartphone supply-chain (see Assessment of rising volume risk due to China-US trade tensions, 27 May 2019), most companies under Daiwa’s tech coverage have not seen much order cuts since 16 May, as most have adopted a “wait-and-see” approach despite US tech firms suspending their shipments to Huawei in order to be in compliance with Trump’s executive order. Now with the likely easing of the ban, we expect most of the orders to go back to square one, with the order flows in the supply chain set to return to their normal level as we saw earlier in the year, if not at higher levels. Multi-cam, 3D, AI, 5G, FO and memory still our focus. Assuming the Huawei issue is behind us, we continue to flag the 6 themes under the 4 secular trends we had outlined in our 2019 Tech Outlook report of HMI, AI, bandwidth and density: multi-cam and 3D laser sensing in the smartphone space for human-machine interface (HMI) enhancement, AI high-performance computing (HPC) xPU for computing upgrades including the cloud and edge compute, 5G cellular migration kicking-off for wireless bandwidth upgrades and constant fiber-optics (FO) bandwidth upgrades to facilitate wireline telecom and datacom capacity expansion, as well as memory upgrades in both NAND and DRAM for density enhancement post the current inventory correction. As such, we reiterate our 2019 global chip revenue forecast (ex-memory) of up a low- single-digits YoY, smartphone shipment forecasts of down low-single-digits YoY and iPhone shipment forecast of 188m units, down 10% YoY.
