We see its IC imports as a potential weak link, which may impede Sector head its growth if Sino-US trade tensions intensify. We note domestic firms started the development of application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for artificial intelligence (AI) Liu Yang products in 2016-17, which may satisfy robust demand from surveillance, internet and [email protected] automation companies in the future. An industry fund, set up by Hikvision’s parent CET Hik Group, invested Rmb200m in the series A funding of chip developer NextVPU in Analyst October. We believe domestically produced AI chips are already capable of replacing Liu Yang imported visual processing units (VPU) for Hikvision, and may become good alternatives for graphic processing units (GPU) going forward.

Hikvision initiated a campaign to help its distributors reduce inventories this year, which we expect to affect sales from distributors by Rmb2bn. We note the firm’s incremental accounts receivable-to-quarterly revenue ratio declined to 8.5% in 2Q18 and 9.5% in 3Q18, from 13.5% in 1Q18, and therefore anticipate improving performance from the distributor channel in 4Q18.

A-share research Tuesday, 11 December, 2018 Bringing China to the World Changing focus Short-term trade war overhang pushed back The market concerned about the negative impact on Hikvision’s export business from the escalating trade frictions between China and the US. Hikvision derived c.29% of 17A revenue from overseas markets, and less than 6% from the US. Based on our estimates, c.25% of Hikvision’s products exported to the US (by value) are subjected to 10% tariff, which are shared by the firm and its customers. The Trump administration approved the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in June, restricting government institutions using technologies from ZTE (000063:CH - BUY) and prohibiting the National Defence Department from renewing contracts with suppliers that have Chinese partners. The bill has a limited impact on Hikvision, given its small exposure to business with the US government. In August, the US added 44 Chinese companies to its export control list. Hikvision was not included in the list, and it does not sell products or services to the US military. In November, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Ministry of Commerce called for public comments on an export control policy that restricts exports of 14 types of emerging technologies. During the Group of 20 summit in Argentina, President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump agreed to hold off on imposing new tariffs, and pledged to step up negotiations toward the removal of all additional tariffs and reach a concrete deal that is mutually beneficial. Trump will postpone a plan to raise tariffs on US$200bn worth of Chinese goods from 10% to 25%, on 1 January. Meanwhile, President Xi agreed to increase purchases of American agricultural, energy and industrial products in a bid to narrow the trade surplus with the US. Although the trade war overhang is mitigated in the short-term, the US will continue to raise the tariff to 25% if no deal on technology transfer, intellectual property, non-tariff barriers and agriculture is reached within 90 days. Hikvision generated c.50% of export sales from Southeast Asia and other developing countries, 30% from west Europe and Australia, and only 20% from the US. In order to minimise the impact from the trade frictions, it aims to promote high-value-added solutions in developing countries. In the North America market, it aims to increase sales of low-end products, which we believe can offset shrinking sales of higher-end products in the US as certain large customers may shift to non-Chinese suppliers for compliance reasons. Addressing the chip supply shortage According to Hikvision’s prospectus and previous annual reports, the company’s upstream suppliers mainly consist of IC, PCB, energy supply, chassis and basic audio & video algorithms vendors. The company can purchase energy supply and chassis products from domestic suppliers, develop software for audio & video algorithms, and secure PCB products domestically. However, IC becomes the major constraint to its development, with central processing unit (CPU) and GPU as the core setbacks. Intel (INTC:US) and NVIDIA (NVDA:US) were the major processor vendors for Hikvision before the trade frictions, and now investors worry about a chip supply shortage facing the company after the trade restrictions.

After several years of development, some of them have raised more than Rmb100m of funds and launched products available for mass production. As per Sohu Tech news on 24 October, chip and system solutions start-up NextVPU raised Rmb200m from series A fundraising, led by Hangzhou CETC HiK Equity Investment Fund Management Partnership (L.P.).

  • U.S. Investors Are Funding Malign PRC Companies on Major Indices
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesperson For Immediate Release FACT SHEET December 8, 2020 U.S. Investors Are Funding Malign PRC Companies on Major Indices “Under Xi Jinping, the CCP has prioritized something called ‘military-civil fusion.’ … Chinese companies and researchers must… under penalty of law – share technology with the Chinese military. The goal is to ensure that the People’s Liberation Army has military dominance. And the PLA’s core mission is to sustain the Chinese Communist Party’s grip on power.” – Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, January 13, 2020 The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) threat to American national security extends into our financial markets and impacts American investors. Many major stock and bond indices developed by index providers like MSCI and FTSE include malign People’s Republic of China (PRC) companies that are listed on the Department of Commerce’s Entity List and/or the Department of Defense’s List of “Communist Chinese military companies” (CCMCs). The money flowing into these index funds – often passively, from U.S. retail investors – supports Chinese companies involved in both civilian and military production. Some of these companies produce technologies for the surveillance of civilians and repression of human rights, as is the case with Uyghurs and other Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang, China, as well as in other repressive regimes, such as Iran and Venezuela. As of December 2020, at least 24 of the 35 parent-level CCMCs had affiliates’ securities included on a major securities index. This includes at least 71 distinct affiliate-level securities issuers.

In particular, I cited to three reports from the Global mobile Suppliers Association (“GSA”) to illustrate the rapid increase in cellular-enabled devices with 5G capabilities in the last three years. In March 2019, GSA had identified 33 announced 5G devices from 23 vendors in 7 different form factors.1 By March 2020, GSA had identified 253 announced 5G devices from 81 vendors in 16 different form factors, including the first 5G-enabled laptops, TVs, and tablets.2 And by April 2021, GSA had identified 703 announced 5G devices from 122 vendors in 22 different form factors.3 It should be noted that some of the 22 form factors, such as 5G modules,4 can be deployed across a wide range of use cases that are not directly tracked by the GSA reports.5 For example, one distributor of Quectel’s 5G modules described the target applications as including: Telematics & transport – vehicle tracking, asset tracking, fleet management Energy – electricity meters, gas/water meter, smart grid Payment – wireless pos [point of service], cash register, ATM, vending machine Security – surveillance, detectors Smart city – street lighting, smart parking, sharing economy Gateway – consumer/industrial router 1 GSA, 5G Device Ecosystem (Mar.
