kfpoefkepokfopekfopokeowpfk MasterLink Securities Taiwan Equity Insight Date: Morning Briefing Dec. 29, 2009 Previous day close: TWSE Index 8,057.49 OTC Index 144.00 NTD/USD* 32.295 There is only 3 trading days left in 2009 and we remain optimistic toward TAIEX due to window-dressing House by ITC and groups as QFII kept buying lately, index maybe keep going up slightly as long as daily volume View is less than NT$180bn and moderate increase on long-margin. Looking into sector, we are remain bullish view on DRAM, panel and LED. We like Epistar (2448 TT), Innolux (3481 TT), Novatek (3034 TT), Inotera (3474 TT). As to non tech, sector rotated into construction, asset plays and financials. We prefer asset and financial at this level and suggest to pay attention on asset and financial instead of construction, we like Taiwan Fertilizer (1722 TT), Fubon (2881 TT), Yuanta FHC (2885 TT) and Shin Kong FHC (2888 TT). SKFH Company • Yulon Motor (2201 TT): Maintain BUY recommendation Updates - MasterLink Research keeps optimistic on Yulon's Luxgen brand which came to the market 4 months ago and in line with robust demand, has decided to add 200 workers contrary to most global carmakers' lay-off trend. - Luxgen has been welcomed not only in Taiwan but also in the Middle East and although the company is still below breakeven point, we believe the current turnaround in the economy will eventually lift the auto market in Taiwan as we saw in previous recovery cycles (1991 ~ 2002). - ECFA will indeed benefit Yulon Motor as we may see Chinese auto maker DFM placing ODM orders in Taiwan and maybe Yulon directly selling cars in Mainland China. - Luxgen brand also plans to launch an EV model in Q3-2010 especially for Middle East and Mainland China. - Yulon has also valuable land assets that provide the stock a premium that we can't ignore given the current favorable environment. - We estimate Yulon will deliver NT$ 1.51in 2009 and maintain our BUY rating and TP of NT$ 51.0 • Simplo (6121 TT): Reiterate TRADING BUY - Media speculates today that Simplo and peer Dynapack (3211 TT) will be key battery suppliers of Apple's highly-expected tablet PC although both firms have a policy of not commenting market rumors. - MasterLink Research remains positive on Simplo that although Apple maintains high confidentiality, Simplo should indeed have good chances to participate in such project given its superior quality, economies of scale and close relationship with global hardware makers. - We remain optimistic on NB growth for 2010 and therefore, Simplo should continue having the upper hand on the NB battery pack market. Plus, EV market exposure should be an important catalyst for the company in the long-term as China's subsidy policy may indeed boost the market in coming years. - We forecast 2009 EPS of NT$ 10.62 and NT$ 12.95 for 2010 and maintain our NT$ 195.0 TP. • Cheng Shin Rubber (2105 TT): Keep TRADING BUY rating - As rubber and tire markets maintain momentum, MasterLink Research believes Cheng Shin will indeed keeps its GM above ~20%. - Tire maker Nankang (2101 TT) has announced higher tire ASPs for all models ranging from 6% ~ 16% while Bridgestone has increased tire prices in the US around 5% as raw material prices increased previously as well. - We foresee Cheng Shin's ASPs upgrades in 2010 in installments and although Q4-2009 and Q1-2010 could see some revenue weakness, we remain more optimistic than the Street on next year's earnings growth as we estimate NT$ 8.19 EPS for 2009 and NT$ 8.72 for 2010. Thus, we maintain our TRADING BUY rating.
