Reviews:
The company's revenue and profit continued to grow rapidly. 1) The company's revenue has achieved rapid growth, mainly due to: the company has long focused on the needs of the consumer electronics laser precision processing and optoelectronic module inspection industry to provide comprehensive laser/optical solutions for leading customers in the consumer electronics industry, and related product revenue has grown rapidly; in addition, in the field of new energy laser processing, it has developed new types of lasers and laser processing monitoring modules to further improve customer processing efficiency while also driving the company's related product revenue growth. 2) The company's profit growth rate is higher than revenue, mainly due to the company's continuous cost reduction and efficiency. While further reducing procurement costs, it also reduces overall production and operation costs through management system reform and digital system reform, and continuously enhances the company's competitiveness.
The optical inspection business is progressing smoothly, and there are multiple reserve projects or relay releases. 1) Camera module inspection business: Currently, the company has fully covered all camera module testing projects and is actively undertaking module inspection automation equipment requirements, which is expected to bring continuous performance growth to the company in the next two years; 2) VCSEL chip module inspection business: It has developed new testing equipment in response to customer update needs, and the current prototype has passed customer verification. The company will actively seek to simultaneously provide equipment at domestic and foreign foundries to speed up the process of equipment going overseas; 3) MR optical inspection business: continue to cooperate with customers to promote R&D related to AR equipment. Currently, there are a large number of research projects.
The layout of various industries such as new energy and passive components broadens the space for future growth. 1) Photovoltaics: According to the company's investor relations activity records, the perovskite business has now received order requests from many customers, and delivery and acceptance work continues to advance, while actively cooperating with customers to land GW grade production lines; 2) Lithium batteries: keep up with technical updates for power batteries, such as laser burnishing of battery cases, development of lasers required for solid state and cylindrical battery processes; 3) Passive components: continue to receive customer orders in terms of resistors and integrated inductors, and the testing and verification of capacitive test sorters is progressing rapidly.
Profit forecast and valuation: Considering the positive development of the company's 3C business, the 24-year profit forecast was slightly raised and the 25-26 profit forecast was maintained. The net profit to mother for 24-26 is 0.138, 0.188, and 0.25 billion yuan respectively (the forecast data for the previous 24 years is 0.133 billion yuan), and the corresponding PE is 37, 27, and 20X, respectively. It is expected that the company's main business will maintain a steady scale, the high gross margin testing business will soon expand, and the company's profit may maintain rapid growth and maintain the purchase rating.
Risk warning: Risk of profit fluctuations due to declining laser business prosperity, slow progress in testing projects, and increased competition
