Pulling the trigger on globalization
Global M&A push. Midea is at a critical juncture of upgrading itself from the world’s second largest home appliance maker to a global technology powerhouse capable of intelligent manufacturing by acquiring KUKA (one of the “Big Four” robot manufacturers) and automation solution provider Servotronix. Meanwhile, an M&A spree around the world has significantly boosted the company’s global competitiveness, helping it go upscale.
Growth outlook. We estimate Midea to notch a full-year revenue of over RMB230bn in 2017, continuing to dominate segments such as the “big three” white goods, kitchen appliances and small appliances. From purchasing products and technologies to the swallowing of market shares and sales channels, Midea is evolving on its global M&A journey.
Earnings forecast. We estimate Midea’s 2017-2019 EPS to be RMB 2.62/3.30/4.11, corresponding to 16x/13x/10x PER. Recommend a Buy Rating.
Risk alert: stiff competition in the home appliance sector; fluctuations in overseas demands and raw material prices.
