The current situation of the company

AVC retail monitoring data, 1H19 color TV market demand continues to be poor.

Comment

The demand of color TV market continues to decline: 1) online and offline retail sales of 1H19 color TV market are-5% and-18% respectively compared with the same period last year. The company's retail performance is slightly weaker than the industry, 1H19 online and offline retail sales are-8% and-21% respectively compared with the same period last year, resulting in Changhong color TV market share year-on-year-0.2ppt and-0.4ppt. 2) the color TV market began to decline in 2018, and the retail sales of color TV sets in China in 2018 were-9% year on year. From January to May 2019, the retail sales of color TV sets were-12% year on year.

The competition in the color TV market is fierce, and the company's profitability is declining: 1) the 1H19 color TV market continues to face fierce price competition, with the industry's online and offline retail prices falling by 13% and 7% respectively compared with the same period last year. The average online and offline retail prices of Changhong fell 8% and 3% respectively compared with the same period last year, slightly less than the industry average, which is one of the reasons why the company's retail performance is weaker than that of the industry. 2) from 2018, the market on color wires is facing fierce competition from XIAOMI. In 2018, the retail volume of XIAOMI color wires increased by 172% compared with the same period last year, ranking first on the line in market share. XIAOMI's low-price strategy intensifies the price competition in the downward stage of demand, which has a negative impact on the profitability of the domestic color TV business. 3) in 2018, the revenue of Changhong color TV dropped by 6% compared with the same period last year, and the profit decreased by 116 million. We expect the profitability of 1H19's color TV business to remain weak.

2H19 expects more home appliance consumption stimulus policies: 1) since 2019, the government has repeatedly emphasized the introduction of home appliance consumption stimulus policies, and historically, home appliance subsidy policies have benefited the color TV market. At present, Beijing and Guangxi have introduced relevant subsidy policies. 2) Guangxi has introduced a trade-in policy including TV products, and the number of TV sets in cities and towns in Guangxi is 114 per 100 households, which is at the same level as that of the whole country. As the economic strength of Guangxi is not strong, the exemplary role of provinces and cities in the country is stronger. 3) We expect more provinces and cities to introduce household appliance subsidy policies in the second half of the year to boost the demand for household appliances.

Valuation proposal

In view of the continued poor demand in the 1H19 color TV industry, the 20% EPS forecast for 2019 is lowered by 10% to 0.09 yuan / 0.11 yuan. Maintain the neutral rating, downgrade the target price by 16% to RMB3.20, corresponding to 34x/29x 2019Universe 20e PPink E, an increase of 8 per cent. The current share price of the company corresponds to 31x/27x 2019 Universe 20e P Unix E.
