中芯國際(0981.HK):19Q4業績符合預期,20Q1業績逆勢上漲,維持“買入”評級
機構:天風證券
評級:買入
事件:19Q4業績發佈,營收8.39億,環比上升2.8%,同比上升6.6%。若將前期業績去除阿韋扎諾晶圓廠營收,則環比上升4.6%,同比上升13.8%。毛利率為23.8%,環比增長14.4%,同比增長40.0%。20Q1營收預計環比增長0%-2%(即8.39-8.59億美元),毛利率為21%-23%。
點評:19Q4營收符合預期,營收8.39億,環比上升2.8%,同比上升6.6%,晶圓出貨量的增加使營收增長,產能利用率的提高帶動毛利率進一步提升。20Q1指引超出預期,超越了半導體行業一季度的季節性疲軟。隨着14nm產能的進一步擴張和良率的提升,預計給20Q1業績的增長提供強勁動能。
14nm工藝本季度開始出貨,在先進製程上逐步縮小與世界代工巨頭的差距。公司14nm工藝在Q4出貨3000片,營收佔比1.0%,同時中芯國際拿下華為海思半導體14nm訂單,因此預計未來量產後營收將進一步提升,先進製程營收貢獻率會進一步增大,且下一代製程節點(N+1)對世界最先進的7nm技術的追趕正在加速。
晶圓廠產能利用率持續上升。產能方面,受益於下游出貨需求的推動,公司產能於2019Q1開始快速增加,同時產能利用率持續上升,Q4產能利用率高達98.8%,環比提升1.8%,同比提升8.9%,產能利用率飽滿,面臨着供不應求的情形。在資本支出方面,2019年晶圓廠運營資本支出20億元,其中14億元用於晶圓廠產能擴張。為滿足市場客户需求,新一輪資本支出將開啟,預計2020年資本支出31.6億元,其中25億元用於晶圓廠設備的支出,產能擴張將會逐步顯現。
技術進步吸引多元化客户。中國區Q4營收佔比65%,環比增長11%,同比增長21%。上海中芯南方FinFET工廠在19Q414nm產能開始釋放,技術開發轉化為收入來源,第一代FinFET穩健上量,第二代FinFET持續客户導入。經營戰略上,中芯國際將持續拓展成熟工藝,保持在各細分領域前列,尤其是攝像頭晶片、電源管理晶片等需求依然強勁。
中長期受益於“新應用驅動+國產替代+先進製程突破”三重動能積聚。受益於5G催生以AIoT為代表的的新應用從而帶動電子元器件的需求、中美貿易戰推動國產替代步伐加速、先進製程的不斷突破,中芯國際作為大陸代工實力的代表,將得到持續性發展。
投資建議:我們看好5G、AIoT及國產替代等對公司的長期驅動,預計2020-2021年EPS分別為0.22、0.43港幣。預計隨着14/12nm的量產,ROE回升,維持評級為“買入”。
風險提示:中美貿易戰不確定性;公司14nm量產不及預期,先進製程發展不及預期;5G發展不及預期
