    Deutsche Bank Markets Research Asia Industry Date China 18 October 2013 Industrials Construction Manufacturing machinery Industry Update Phyllis Wang Research Analyst Continued healthy demand recovery (-) - - [email protected] of wheel loader in Sept China’s wheel-loader sales volume in Sept 2013 up 17% yoy, in line Focus stocks According to 21-Sun, China’s wheel loader sales volume (including exports) Lonking (3339.HK),HKD1.68 Buy Price Target recorded 13,176 units in September, up 16.9% yoy. We think this was due HKD1.98 mainly to healthy demand recovery in the domestic market (+24% yoy). For the Zoomlion (1157.HK),HKD7.17 Hold Price Target first time this year, ytd sales volume growth has turned from negative to HKD6.01 positive, which was +0.1% yoy (vs. -1.4% in 8M13 and -30% in 2012). Total Source: Deutsche Bank sales volume in 3Q13 was up 14.5% yoy, largely in line with our half-year volume assumption (14% yoy rise in 2H13). Lonking’s market share stabilized in September mom The combined market share of the top five players (Lingong, Liugong, Lonking, Xiagong and XCMG) was stable at 74.5% in 9M13. (vs. 74.2% in 8M13 and 72.4% in 2012). Lonking sold 19,320 units (-8% yoy) in 9M13, with a market share of 14% (vs. 14.2% in 8M13 and 14.8% in 2012). We note that Lonking and Linggong are losing market share to XCMG and Xiagong in 3Q13. We think this is mainly because Lonking continues its prudent sales strategy. However, Lonking’s sales volume of wheel loaders rose 24% yoy in September to 1,569 units with a stabilized market share of 11.9%, vs.

    10 Feb 2020 CMB International Securities | Equity Research | Sector Update China Construction Machinery Scenario analysis on the resumption of factory production OUTPERFORM (Maintain) Factories in China, except Hubei, are scheduled to resume operation today. We China Capital Goods evaluate the companies under our coverage from several dimensions, including location of factories, capacity utilization, downstream demand and cash flow Wayne Fung, CFA management. Our base case scenario suggests that the overall earnings impact (852) 3900 0826 for the full year should be limited, as the sales volume in 1Q (the traditional peak [email protected] season) will potentially be shifted to 2Q or 3Q (low seasons) when the construction activities pick up when the epidemic is under control. We believe potential share price volatility in the near term will serve as opportunities to accumulate quality names such as SANY Heavy (600031 CH, BUY, TP: RMB19.0), Jiangsu Hengli (601100 CH, BUY, TP: RMB54.0) and Weichai Power (2338 HK, BUY, TP: HK$17.9 / 000338 CH, BUY, TP: RMB15.9). Utilization rate to gradually increase. For the companies under our coverage, no production base is located in Hubei province (figure 1). Some companies such as Weichai, SANY Heavy and Zoomlion have already resumed production since last week while others will restart today. That said, we do expect most of them will only ramp up its production gradually due to the potential labour shortage in the near term. Companies are trying their best to ramp up production to fulfil the existing orders, based on our check. Related Reports Expect mild delay on downstream demand.

We identify the key drivers of construction machinery demand and our Vincent Ha, CFA top-down analysis suggests the industry will deliver moderate growth next year. Research Analyst Zoomlion would have relatively greater operating leverage as the sector continues +852-2203 6247 to recover, and we believe the valuation gap between Lonking and Zoomlion will narrow. We upgrade Zoomlion to Buy, as we expect an earnings rebound in Yuki Lu FY18-19 and asset quality to improve (less bad debt provision). We maintain a Research Associate Hold on Lonking as the positives, such as the ability to gain market share and +852-2203 5925 expand margins, are already factored into its share price.

The strong earnings growth reaffirms our positive stance on both [email protected] companies. On the other hand, within our universe, we expect SANYI (631 HK, BUY) will potentially issue positive alert as well, which should serve as near term share price catalyst. SANY Heavy’s net profit in 2019E surged 76-93% YoY. According to the Company, the net profit range is RMB10.8-11.8bn, with mid-point of RMB11.3bn slightly above our estimate of RMB11.1bn. This implies 4Q19E earnings of RMB1.64-2.64bn, up 33%-114% YoY, with a mid-point of RMB2.14bn higher than our estimate of RMB1.97bn. The growth was driven by all business lines including excavator, crane, concrete, and pilling machinery. Besides, production efficiency enhancement and operating leverage also helped drive the earnings growth. Going forward, we expect an extended upcycle of excavator, together with the strong cycle of concrete and crane machinery, will continue to offer earnings surprise in 2020E. Jiangsu Hengli’s net profit in 2019E grew 47-53% YoY.
