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.

Equity Bottom-Up

Hon Hai Precision Industry / Equity Bottom-Up

On its Hon Hai Tech Day 2020, Foxconn presented its MIH platform, an open-source platform that it hopes will streamline the process of developing EVs. According to Hon Hai’s presentation, the platform is developed to replicate features of Tesla’s EVs but also allows third-party contribution to further develop the design and system. Foxconn wants to be the “Android of EVs” while allowing Tesla to remain the “iPhone of EVs”. In this insight, we look at Foxconn’s efforts in the development of EVs, and what this means for related players.We like Foxconn’s platform for being open source, and it looks like an interesting move that would help accelerate EV adoption globally. Though we cannot say with certainty whether the platform will be successful or not until it is tested and tried, we note that if Foxconn’s MIH platform becomes successful, then Tesla’s EV leadership status might be threatened. Overall, we consider this to be a good move by Foxconn, given the declining smartphone market and growing positive EV momentum. We go through the details below.
