However, with the Target 16,000 13,000 ongoing industry debate about the environmental benefits of EVs, we Upside 54.6% advocate our now more optimistic view on fuel-cell electric vehicles Hyundai Motor (005380 KS) (FCEVs) becoming the ultimate solution for zero emissions. Rating Buy Outperform Target 160,000 170,000 What's the impact: FCEVs to lead the pack over the long term. From Upside 31.1% 2025, we envisage FCEVs replicating the rapid penetration of EVs over the Hyundai Mobis (012330 KS) Rating Outperform Buy past 3 years. As such, we are revising up our global FCEV shipment CAGR Target 235,000 360,000 forecast for 2018-30E by 17% to 9.5m units by 2030 on: 1)The ever-more Upside 14.6% stringent regulatory environment with potentially large fines for auto OEMs Toyota Motor (7203 JP) from 2020E, 2) FCEVs as the ultimate solution to countries achieving zero Rating Outperform Outperform emissions, and 3) a rise in infrastructure investment and decline in stack Target JPY8,700 JPY8,700 Upside 23.0% costs, which currently account for 30-40% of FCEV production costs. As such, we forecast a 62.5% FCEV unit CAGR over 2018-30E, outstripping Source: Daiwa forecasts the 20.4% CAGR that we forecast for EV units for the same period. Expansion in trading multiples for FCEV component makers over the next 12 months. Since the launch of the first FCEVs in 2013, the FCEV players’ PERs have expanded by an average of 20.4%, with 25.5% for the components makers, across the board. We expect this expansion to become more apparent for FCEV parts makers, given the strong potential for them to lead the way in the initial stage of FCEV development over the next 12 months, with their comparative edge over the auto OEMs in manufacturing key components and system-supplying capability. What we recommend: Toyota Motor (7203 JP, JPY7,075, Outperform [2]) is our top pick for its competitive edge in environmental technology, including FCEVs, which enables it to comply with current environmental regulations. We also like Hanon Systems (018880 KS, KRW10,350, Buy [1]) for its strong competitive foothold in thermal energy management for FCEVs. We upgrade Hyundai Motor (005380 KS, KRW122,000) to Buy (1) on the prospect of it entering an earnings-revision cycle from 2H18, and given it is one of the few global OEMs that has the technology for key components such as membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Finally, we downgrade Hyundai Mobis (012330 KS, KRW205,000) to Outperform (2) given its relative weakness in FCEVs. Key risk: regulatory changes. How we differ: Our EPS forecasts for Toyota, HMC, Hanon, and Mobis are higher than the Bloomberg consensus, likely because of our view of an upward earnings-revision cycle and sound competitive footprint in FCEVs.

Growth outlook Valuation Earnings revisions Growth outlook FCEVs: Daiwa’s revised market forecasts We now expect FCEV shipments to get another boost from ('000 units) 2020E, triggered by: 1) the ever-more stringent regulatory 35,000 environment for auto OEMs from 2020E, 2) FCEVs as the 30,000 4,697 ultimate solution to countries achieving zero emissions, 25,000 4,361 and 3) a rise in infrastructure investment and decline in 20,000 4,146 17,169 stack costs.
