Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Impact of wafer shortage extended to auto chips recently, and forced several factories of VW JVs in China to suspend production for a few days early December 2020, according to local media' reports on 8th Dec. CAAM (China Association of Automobile Manufacturers) estimate, based on survey over more than 60 OEMs, is that MCU short supply - which mainly lead to production issue of ESP(（Electronic Stability Program) and ECU(Electronic Control Unit) and hence mid-high end cars - might cause short term interruption on some OEMs in 1Q2021 before getting released afterwards. According to latest media reports, Honda JVs and VW JVs in JV brands are both impacted so far. Geely (175.HK) and Changan (000625.CH) are under pressure. However, as the short supply is led by short term reasons and actions have been taken in the whole supply chain, it would not change our positive view on China's auto sector 2021E. Instead, if any share performance weakness happens due to related components shortage, that would be buying opportunities for investors.

China Auto: Short-Term Interruptions from Auto Chips Shortage

We are bullish on PV sales in 2021E. We estimate China's PV sales will grow by 10% yoy to 22.2mn units. We also estimate China's EV (electric vehicle) sales double will in 2021E.SUV's market share would continue growing and might reach 50% soon in China due to customers' preference, while premium car market (above Rmb130k) would continue gain market shares with consumption upgrading. B/C segment EV SUVs, as long as there's qualified models available, would be the hottest segment in 2021E.Among EV brands, Tesla (TSLA.US) Shanghai might be the biggest winner next year, thanks to its coming Model Y (SUV). Xpeng(EPEV.US) is our favourite in local brand. It would  launch a new sedan EV (P5) in 2021E.  Xpeng's new SUV model might come in 2022E.  NIO's (NIO.US) sales would under pressure due to direct competition from Model Y.Among traditional OEMs, Geely (175.HK) remains our favourite due to high expected growth of earnings driven by ramping up Lynk&amp;Co, new models and coming brand new designed EV models.
