The automotive electronics business is expected to continue to grow at a high rate this year and next, and we are optimistic about the company's expansion progress in the robotics field.
In terms of automotive electronics, along with vehicle screen actuators, automobile thermal management actuators, electronic parking, automobile active lift and tail actuators, automobile hidden door handle driving systems, etc., bicycle ASP is expected to continue to increase, and with the continuous investment of new production capacity, it is expected to maintain a medium- to high-speed growth trend in the future; in terms of robots, the company's micro transmission and micro drive system products are highly compatible with motion control requirements in the robotics field; the humanoid robot dexterous hand developed by the company uses full drive The mode, which has a high degree of freedom, can simulate almost all human hand shapes and delicate movements, and can obtain good results for applications and complex grasping scenarios. We are optimistic about the trend of broadening the application boundaries and intelligence of the company's microtransmission systems in automobiles, medical care, humanoid robots, XR, etc. After the company integrates gearboxes and drives, the product value is expected to continue to increase, and there is plenty of room for growth.
Maintain a “Highly Recommended” investment rating. We forecast 24-26 revenue of 1.51/1.96/2.65 billion yuan, and net profit of 0.2/0.27/0.37 billion yuan, corresponding to the current PE price of 55.4/41.8/30.0 times. Considering the company's technical barriers in the field of micro transmission systems and the early card position advantages of leading customers, while actively promoting vertical integration strategies, we maintain a “highly recommended” investment rating.
Risk warning: Downstream demand falls short of expectations, progress of new product R&D projects falls short of expectations, fluctuating raw material prices, and fluctuating macropolitical and economic environments.
