东峰集团(601515):拟出售控股权 看好新能源材料业务发展空间

Dongfeng Group (601515): Proposed sale of controlling interest, optimistic about the development space of the new energy materials business

The company's recent situation

Recently, the company announced that Hong Kong Dongfeng Investment Group Co., Ltd., the controlling shareholder of the company, has signed a “share transfer agreement” with Quzhou Zhishang Enterprise Management Partnership (limited partnership) and Quzhou Zhiwei Enterprise Management Partnership (limited partnership) to transfer 0.375 billion shares of the company (about 20% of the total share capital) to Quzhou Zhishang and 0.186 billion shares (about 9.9% of the total share capital) to Quzhou Zhiwei. The transfer price is 3.483 yuan/share, at a 10% discount from the closing price before the announcement.

reviews

1. After the transaction is completed, the Quzhou State-owned Assets Administration Commission will become the actual controller of the company. Hong Kong Dongfeng Investment Group, the original controlling shareholder of the company, held 0.871 billion of the company's shares (about 46.47% of the total share capital). After the transaction is completed, Quzhou Zhishang, Quzhou Zhiwei, Hong Kong Investment Group and their co-actors will hold 20%, 9.9%, and 16.6% of the company's shares respectively. Both Quzhou Zhishang and Quzhou Zhiwei are actually controlled enterprises by the Quzhou State-owned Assets Administration Commission, so after the transaction is completed, the actual controller of the company will be changed to the Quzhou State-owned Assets Administration Commission.

2. Continue to divest the cigarette label business, focusing on the field of new energy materials. Affected by changes in industry policies and increased competition in the industry, the competitive pattern of the tobacco label industry has changed greatly in recent years, and the profit level of the industry has generally declined. The company actively adjusted its strategy, actively reduced the cigarette label business, and sold tobacco label subsidiaries one after another to reduce its dependence on the cigarette label business. At the same time, the company is actively transforming and exploring new energy materials and other businesses. Currently, its subsidiary Bosheng New Materials has developed into a leading domestic battery separator company, established good cooperation with many leading battery manufacturers, and laid out new materials such as composite copper foil/aluminum foil and copper foam around the new energy industry chain. We believe that with the gradual divestment of the tobacco label business and the change of actual controllers, the performance of the new business is climbing, and the company is expected to reach an inflection point in performance.

3. The new energy industry in Quzhou is rich in resources, and the company's new energy business is expected to develop further. Quzhou has a leading domestic new energy industry cluster, and many new energy industry chain enterprises in the region have production capacity layouts, such as Huayou Holdings, Juhua Co., Ltd., Shanshan Group, etc., involving many aspects such as lithium carbonate, electrolytes, and battery anodes. We believe that after the actual controller of the company is changed to the Quzhou State-owned Assets Administration Commission, the subsidiary Bosheng New Materials is expected to enjoy supporting dividends in the regional industrial chain. The battery separator business is expected to further improve the layout of the new energy industry in the region and form a closed loop in the industry. In the future, the company is expected to build a new growth curve with the new energy materials business.

Profit forecasting and valuation

The profit forecast for 2024/2025 remains basically unchanged. The profit forecast for 2026 was introduced. The company's strategy was adjusted, the profit situation was poor, and it was in the share sale period, so it was switched to a net market ratio valuation. The current stock price corresponds to 1.0/1.0 times P/B for 2025/2026, respectively. Keep the target price of 3.2 yuan unchanged, corresponding to 1.1/1.1 times P/E in 2025/2026, respectively, with 4% upside compared to the current stock price.

risks

Competition in the industry intensified; new production capacity fell short of expectations; prices of raw materials fluctuated greatly, and governance risks brought about by changes in shareholders.
