一文綜合大行於聯通(00762.HK)公布業績後最新評級、目標價及觀點
聯通(00762.HK)昨日(19日)收市後公布去年業績,今日股價造好。摩根大通預期聯通股價將反應正面,因其今年資本開支預算較市場預期低16%。公司把派息比率由2021及2022年的46%及50%提升至去年的55%,實為符合市預期。該行料聯通明年派息比率超過六成,基於其資本開支下降及自由現金流增加。該行又指,聯通去年第四季業績未令市場意外,因已在早前預告,公司亦預計今年收入穩定增長及利潤雙位數增長。該行維持對該股「增持」評級,基於其8倍市盈率及逾10%每股盈利增長的不俗風險回報,資本開支下降及自由現金流增加,以及吸引的8厘股息和未來數年潛在派息率上升。目標價維持7.3元。
公司公布去年營業額按年升5%至3,725.97億元人民幣。純利按年升12%至187.26億元人民幣;每股盈利0.61元人民幣。派每股末期息13.36分人民幣,上年同期派每股10.9分人民幣。全年總派息每股33.66分人民幣,按年增23%。公司去年EBITDA按年升0.6%至998.1億元人民幣,EBITDA佔服務收入的百分比為29.8%,較2022年降1.3個百分點。期內移動用戶規模3.33億戶,2023年淨增用戶1,060萬戶,按年升90%。5G套餐用戶滲透率達78%,按年升12個百分點。固網寬帶用戶規模1.13億戶,累計淨增979萬戶。
公司去年資本開支739億元人民幣,少於2022年的742億元人民幣。公司預期今年資本開支將進一步下降逾10%,全年固定資產投資預算約650億元人民幣,其中通信網絡投資將明顯下降,算網數智則加強佈局,預料該部分投資將適度增加。
【資本開支指引下降令市場意外】
花旗指出,聯通去年業績符合早前公布的初步業績,但去年第四季業績實際上較該行預期為差。該行下調對聯通今明兩年盈利預測6%以配合最新評估,但上調目標價至7.1元,基於資本開支假設下降。該行認為,今年資本開支指引低於預期及利潤增長雙位指引,均有助改善公司自由現金流及為增加派息率提供更大空間。該行預測聯通派息率將由去年的55%,升至今年的59%及明年的62%,又認為聯通8.3厘預測股息率及7倍預測市盈率吸引,維持「買入」評級。
瑞銀上調對聯通目標價由7.3元至7.5元,維持「買入」評級。該行指,聯通管理層給予今年收入增長的指引為穩定,該行解讀為中單位數增長。利潤增長指引維持雙位數,部分受益於資本開支減少下折舊對銷售比率減少。聯通管理層未就派息提供確實指引,但承諾改善股東回報,該行假設聯通今年派息比率按年升3個百分點至58%。
