Investment strategy Strong demand for semiconductors/passive components and home appliances/TVs vs. sluggish smartphone sales, declining panel prices, and won appreciation ■ IT sector update Share performance & OP consensus revision rates for Korean IT large caps - Display: Panel prices remained on the decline in March, but are projected to stabilize (%) gradually in 2Q-3Q; valuation re-ratings are expected for OLED suppliers, given the (%) prospects for earnings recovery in 2H and robust demand for foldables/OLED TVs. 8 Share performance (1M, L) 1Q OP consensus revision rate (R) 25 - Handsets/components: iPhone X shipments have been disappointing; expectations on the Galaxy S9 have been lowered. - Consumption will become increasingly polarized, with the sales mixes of high-priced 4 0 products, including home appliances and TVs, likely to remain on the rise. - Companies continue to search for new growth drivers. Chipmakers/passive 0 -25 component suppliers should benefit. - F/X trends are viewed as a headwind for 1Q18 earnings (1Q18 average US$/W rate of 1,072.3 vs. 4Q17 average of 1,107.3) -4 -50 ■ Strategy LG SEMCO LGE Hanwha SSC LGD SEC SK Hynix Samsung 1) Semiconductor supply/demand conditions are expected to be more positive than Innotek Techwin SDI expected: The valuation trend is worth tracking amid upward revisions to consensus earnings. 2) Solid OLED TV sales: Relevant supply chain will likely be re-rated. 3) Concerns over iPhone X weakness have already been priced in; we prefer OLED materials suppliers that are likely to post solid 1Q18 earnings. Source: WISEfn, Mirae Asset Daewoo Research 4) We prefer passive components/home appliances/TV suppliers with robust earnings prospects and small/mid-cap stocks with improving earnings. ■ Spotlight stocks - LGE, Samsung SDI, LGD, SEMCO, Innox Advanced Materials, Humax Korean IT large caps (W, %, x) Current Share performance P/E P/B ROE Company Rating TP Upside price (3/30) 1W 1M 17 18F 17 18F 17 18F LGE Buy 147,000 109,500 34.2 2.8 9.6 10.3 8.9 1.3 1.1 13.4 13.3 LGD Buy 40,000 26,150 53.0 -0.4 -12.4 15.0 9.0 0.6 0.6 4.3 6.7 Samsung SDI Buy 270,000 192,500 40.3 -3.5 12.6 15.5 11.7 1.1 1.0 7.5 9.2 SEMCO Buy 134,000 105,500 27.0 4.5 13.9 19.4 16.1 1.7 1.5 9.4 10.2 LG Innotek Buy 167,000 126,000 32.5 5.0 -4.6 11.5 8.9 1.4 1.2 12.5 14.1 SSC Buy 29,100 19,800 47.0 0.8 -17.0 16.0 13.3 1.6 1.5 11.1 11.7 Hanwha Techwin Buy 37,400 29,600 26.4 1.9 1.5 32.4 19.8 0.7 0.7 2.2 3.5 SEC - 2,461,000 -1.0 4.6 7.5 7.4 1.3 1.2 21.0 18.2 SK Hynix - 81,300 -2.2 5.9 4.2 4.6 1.2 1.0 34.6 24.4 Note: 2018 SEC and SK Hynix data are consensus estimates; 2017 Hanwha Techwin data are based on estimates.
