Equity Bottom-Up

<p>Steady revenue/earnings; ongoing acquisition; new capacity yet to become operational . The company is currently traded at the low end of its PER range of 7~22x. Its previous acquisitions of KEMET and Pulse have helped the company move in the development of high-end products while its acquisition of Chilisin may take time to come to fruition in FY22. Yageo’s revenue/earnings remain steady at the moment as the group continues its plan of acquisitions. We expect the synergy to emerge in FY23 along with the fact that the capacity of its new plant in Kaohsiung becomes operational afterwards. At the moment, we do not give a high PER valuation and recommend NEUTRAL. </p><div class="content-highlight"><em>Content is external broker report sourced from online content aggregator through publicly available sources and is displayed below for general informational purposes only.
