Ideal Automobile earns 12 billion yuan
Stock price skyrocketed by over 25%
On February 27th, Ideal Auto opened high and its stock price surged by 26.88%, closing at HKD 175.50 for the day, up 25.45%.
After the market closed on February 26th, the 2023 annual report disclosed by Ideal Automobile showed that the company's non US GAAP net profit in 2023 reached 12.198 billion yuan, marking its first annual profit!
According to the annual report, Ideal Automobile's revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 41.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 136%, and the annual revenue was 123.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 174%. The net profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 5.8 billion yuan, exceeding Bloomberg's consensus expectation of 2.8 billion yuan. The company's net profit for the whole year of 2023 was 11.8 billion yuan (a net loss of 2 billion yuan in 2022), marking the first turnaround in losses. Huatai Securities predicts that the company's sales from 2024 to 2026 will be 700000 vehicles, 1.04 million vehicles, and 1.14 million vehicles, respectively. The company's revenue from 2024 to 2026 will be 210.4 billion yuan, 288.3 billion yuan, and 305.3 billion yuan, respectively. The net profit attributable to shareholders will be 15.3 billion yuan, 18.3 billion yuan, and 21.2 billion yuan, respectively.
Goldman Sachs has released a research report reaffirming its "buy" rating for Ideal Auto, reflecting expectations that the company will launch 5 new cars this year and expand its sales network to 400 stores, with a target price increase of 4% to HKD 215. Based on a higher profit margin assumption, Goldman Sachs has raised its earnings per share forecast for Ideal 2024-2026 by 4% to 10%. Meanwhile, it is expected that Ideal Automobile will have the fastest profit growth and the most abundant free cash flow among the Chinese automobile manufacturers it covers.
The research report indicates that Ideal Automobile had strong performance in the fourth quarter of last year, with continuous improvement in profit margins. The management reiterated that this year's sales target is 800000 units, which means a year-on-year growth of over 100%, and the gross profit margin will remain above 20% every quarter. Goldman Sachs believes that the resilience of Ideal Automobile's gross profit margin is mainly due to strong cost control (over 100% capacity utilization), supply chain price deflation (increased component yield), and a slowdown in NEV demand in other regions of the world, as investors focus on the profit pressure brought about by sustained price competition in the market.
