Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

Xiaomi: Margins to Remain Under Pressure with Premiumisation and Investment in EV (Quantamental)

Trung Nguyen

We view Xiaomi Corp as “Low Risk” on the LARA scale, driven by: [1] the company’s leading market position in smartphones and smart hardware; [2] its increasing market share, scale and brand name; and [3] the company’s strong financial metrics with large positive FCF, solid balance sheet with net cash, as well as sound liquidity position. Xiaomi has a strong track record of execution and innovation, along with the entrance into and success in new verticals (e.g. cleaning robots, smart speakers, smart TVs and smart routers). The company also has fast-growing revenue streams from Internet services and gaming. On the other hand, the mobile phone industry is very competitive with low switching costs, particularly for Android phones (Blackberry and Nokia have gone out of business despite having been leading players). The credit is further weighed down by: [1] potential trade sanctions from the US; and [2] execution risk related to Xiaomi’s entry into the increasingly competitive electric vehicle market. Our Credit Bias is “Stable”, given the company’s robust business risk profile and strong balance sheet.
