中國燃氣(00384.HK):新冠疫情影響20財年業績,維持“買入”評級,目標價33.37港元
機構:招銀國際
評級:買入
目標價:33.37港元
我們近期與中國燃氣進行了交流。管理層透露 2020 年 1 季度燃氣銷售受疫情影響超出此前預期,預計同比氣量將下跌10-15%,將拖累2020財年的燃氣銷售量至單位數增長。此外,在燃氣接駁、LPG 業務以及增值服務業務均不同程度受到了新冠疫情的輕微影響。我們將 2020-22 財年的盈利預測分別下調 5.6%/3.9%/4.2%以反映疫情對業務帶來的影響及對於未來業務擴張更為保守的增長預期。我們目標價亦同比下調 12.2%至每股 33.37 港元。
2020 年 1 季度銷售氣量同比下跌 10-15%。受中國大多數地區採取封閉式管理控制新冠疫情影響,管理層透露 2020 年首 2 個月氣量同比下跌 13%,同時預期3月份銷售氣量將同比下跌10-15%。公司自3月底開始觀察到氣量呈逐漸恢復態勢。到 4 月初,天然氣需求已逐步恢復正常,並出現輕微上漲。基於管理層的對於天然氣銷量數據更新,我們將公司 20 財年天然氣銷售增速自原同比上漲 13.5%預期下調至同比增長 6.3%,以反映疫情對於該業務板塊的影響。
居民用户接駁受輕微拖累。公司的燃氣接駁業務因疫情控制而在 1 季度導致了約有 4 周的工期停滯,這將阻礙公司完成其全年 550 萬户居民用户接駁目標量。管理層預期最終結果將不會較原定目標偏離太多,隱含預期影響較為輕微。我們將 20 財年的接駁展望自原 557 萬户下調 3.2%至 539 萬户。
其它業務也將受一定影響。由於一季度無法直接與客户接觸,公司的增值服務業務也將受到温和影響,導致增值服務板塊的毛利貢獻將低於管理層此前指引。對於 LPG 分銷板塊,公司則幸運的躲開了油價暴跌帶來 LPG 庫存減值的風險,主要由於公司為了降低價格波動風險採取了較為有效的銷售策略,但這同時也降低了板塊利潤貢獻。
投資者場外交易帶來買入機會。公司的主要戰略投資人,SK E&S 近期選擇通過場外交易方式售出對中燃 10.25%的持倉,獲利了結。我們相信 SK E&S 的決定主要基於其自身的財務壓力而並非是對中燃的前景產生負面看法。我們認為戰略投資人離場反而創造了較好的投資機會。
長期展望維持正面,維持買入評級。儘管我們就新冠疫情影響對公司的盈利預測有多項下調,我們對於公司長期增長的展望維持不變。我們對公司 2020-22 年每股盈利預測僅下調 5.6%/3.9%/4.2%,以反映上述更新以及更為保守的增長假設。我們的分佈加總估值目標價下調 12.2%至每股 33.37 港元,維持買入評級。
