Huasheng Tiancheng (600410): still optimistic about high-end IT business

元大證券 ·  Dec 25, 2018 00:00  · Researches

Information update:

Huasheng Tiancheng's revenue fell 11% year-on-year in 2014 as a result of business transformation. The net profit is 95 million yuan, which is in line with the company's performance of KuaiBao.

We reaffirm our buy rating and raise the target price to RMB 40.

The center's point of view:

We are still optimistic about 1) the growth momentum of the company's trusted open high-end computing systems; and 2) the company's cooperation with IBM to produce high-end IT systems.

Reiterate the buy rating and raise the target price to RMB 40: we are still optimistic about the growth momentum of Huasheng Tiancheng trusted IT solution system and are optimistic about its cooperation with IBM to develop high-end IT system. We expect the company's earnings in 2015 to grow by 261% in 2016 compared with the same period last year.

Business transformation led to lower-than-expected revenue in 2014: revenue from Huasheng Tiancheng fell 11% year-on-year to 4.3 billion yuan, 19% lower than the center's expectations. We believe that the reason for the lower-than-expected revenue is 1) the company's business focus has shifted to developing trusted IT solutions, and 2) reducing the proportion of IT system licensing business. However, net profit in 2014 rose 128 per cent year-on-year to 95 million yuan, in line with the company's results released in January, KuaiBao. We believe that the profit growth is due to 1) an improvement in revenue structure and an increase in the proportion of revenue from high-margin businesses; and 2) investment income.

We are still optimistic about Huasheng Tiancheng's trusted IT solution system and its cooperation with IBM to develop domestic high-end IT solutions. Huasheng Tiancheng recently announced that it will invest in a new high-end IT manufacturing platform, which will further deepen the company's penetration in the field of high-end IT systems. With our partnership with IBM, we expect the high-end server business to contribute 10 per cent of Huasheng Tiancheng's 2015 revenue.

The target price is raised to RMB 40: the target price of the center is based on discounted cash flow valuation and price-to-earnings ratio valuation with the same weight. We have raised the target price-to-earnings ratio from 62 to 86 to reflect 1) the solid growth prospects of the company's trusted IT solution business; and 2) the recent surge in sector valuations, with the sector currently trading at an average price-to-earnings ratio of 80 times in 2015 (50 times at the beginning of the year). The main downside risks include: 1) decline in plate valuation; 2) termination of cooperation with IBM; 3) failure of trusted IT system platform development.
