JS Global Lifestyle (1691 27 Oct 2020 CMB International Securities | Equity Research JS Global Lifestyle (1691 HK) BUY (Maintain) A r obust growth momentum but a mild margin drag Target Price HK$19.57 (Previous TP HK$14.10) Maintain BUY and lifted TP to HK$ 19.57, based on 28x FY21E P/E (vs. prev. Up/Downside +16.5% 20x FY21E P/E), as we argue SharkNinja deserves a re-rating thanks to the more Current Price HK$16.80 sustainable growth from its new and successful product cycle. We are also confident on Joyoung‘s resilient growth in 4Q20E and FY21E. The stock is trading China Home Appliance Sector at 24x FY21E P/E, still attractive (vs China/ Int’l peers’ avg. of 30x/ 23x) in our view. JS Global remains our top pick in the home appliance space. Walter Woo (852) 3761 8776 Joyoung’s 3Q20 sales/ NP att. grew by 22%/ 7% YoY, 3% higher/ 12% [email protected] lower than CMBI est. Joyoung’s 3Q20 sales growth was impressive, which grew 22% YoY to RMB 2.5bn, 3% higher than our estimates. It was, in our Stock Data view, due to strong e-commerce demand even after offline stores re-opened. Mkt Cap (HK$ mn) 58,617 Avg 3 mths t/o (HK$ mn) 73.29 However, Joyoung’s 3Q20 NP att. only grew by 7% YoY to RMB 226mn, 12% 52w High/Low (HK$) 18.00/3.60 below our estimates. We attributed weaker GP margin (at 28.4% vs 32.3% Total Issued Shares (mn) 3,489.1 in 3Q19) to rising raw material costs, higher online mix and retail discounts. Source: Bloomberg However, we are still optimistic on 4Q20E. Even though Joyoung’s NP att. Shareholding Structure only grew by 4% in 9M20E, we are still convinced on a reasonable rebound Mr. Wang Xuning (Chairman) 56.52% & concert party in 4Q20E as the management reiterated its FY20 guidance of at least 9% CDH Fund 9.42% YoY growth, a minimal rate to unlock their stock incentives. Moreover, Mr. Mark Rosenzweig 7.87% according to All Cloud View, small appliances industry sales growth RSU Holding entity 4.88% Mr. Mark Adam Barrocas 2.09% (including ovens, blenders, cooker, vacuum cleaner, etc.) had no signs of Free Float 19.22% deceleration in Sep 2020 (vs Jul-Aug) for both online and offline. Hence, we Source: HKEx maintain rapid sales/ NP att. growth of 25%/17% YoY for Joyoung in 4Q20E. Share Performance SharkNinja’s growth in 2H20E should still be intact. We are still confident Absolute Relative on SharkNinja to deliver an upbeat growth in 2H20E, as its increasingly 1-mth 15.9% 8.0% 3-mth 128.3% 126.3% popular new products are likely to gain more market shares. Also, 1) the robust 6-mth 119.3% 109.8% China home appliances export growth (36%/ 39%/ 43% YoY in Jul/ Aug/ Sep 12-mth n/a n/a 2020), according to China Customs, and 2) recent upward revisions of Source: Bloomberg iRobot’s 2020 sales growth guidance (from 0%-LSD to 12%-13%) should be 12-mth Price Performance positive signs of rising demand for small home appliances in US and Europe. (HK$) Stock HSI 18.0 Maintain BUY and raised TP to HK$ 19.57. We fine-tuned FY20E/ 21E/ 15.5 22E EPS estimates by -4.1%/ -0.9%/ +0.3%, to factor in better Joyoung 13.0 10.5 sales growth but slightly lower GP margin and dilutions from recent shares 8.0 placement. We maintain BUY and lifted TP to HK$ 19.57 as we use 28x 5.5 FY21E P/E (raised from 20x). Valuation is still attractive at 24x FY21E P/E, 3.0 comparing to its China/ Int’l peers’ average of 30x/ 23x FY21E P/E.
