TALKING POINT - A-SHARES: INSURANCE ALSO A GOOD PROXY
DATA RELEASES DUE THIS WEEK
Nov 18 China October Property Prices
Conference Board China October
We discussed the rebound in trading velocity in the A-share market on Wednesday and sug-gested that stocks of securities companies would be major beneficiaries. We believe investors should also revisit insurance companies. They suffered a major de-rating after the collapse of the A-share market last year. However, the share price performance of insurance companies has a very high positive correlation with the CSI300 Index, especially Ping An Insurance (2318.HK) and China Taiping Insurance (0966.HK). Therefore, if we expect the A-share market is likely to perform well for at least one more month, there is still room for insurance companies to return to a higher valuation level. In terms of price/embedded value, Ping An and Taiping are trading at a 35% and 37% discount to their five-year average, respectively.
RESEARCH NOTES
TMT SECTOR UPDATE - Even though it is the world's largest IC consumer, with over 20% growth in output value for the domestic IC design sector, China still suffers from relatively low IC self-sufficiency, low competitiveness for local foundries and bottlenecks for local fabless firms in capability improvement. Based on the Chinese government’s target highlighted in three key documents, the China semiconductor industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20% in 2016-2020. To achieve the Chinese government's target, the China Semiconductor Industry Associa-tion estimates that total investment will reach close to RMB1trn, of which 70% will be invested in semiconductor manufacturing. We reiterate the view that domestic IC foundries such as Hua Hong [1347.HK] and SMIC [0981.HK] will be major beneficiaries of import substitution of up-stream components in the long run. There is no major A share-listed IC foundry, but SMIC and Hua Hong are treated as proxies for the theme of localization of IC supply. Shares of both Hua Hong and SMIC retreated recently, in our view, due to profit taking and limited recent news flow. However, given their leading position in China and their track record, the recent share price weakness offers a good revisit opportunity.

TMT INDUSTRY UPDATE – Hua Hong and SMIC: Two major beneficiaries of increasing localization of upstream components
Chinese government to build up domestic supply chain. Even though it is the world's largest IC consumer, with over 20% growth
in output value for the domestic IC design sector, China still suffers from relatively low IC self-sufficiency, low competitiveness for
local foundries and bottlenecks for local fabless firms in capability improvement. China spends more money importing semiconductors
than it does oil. More than 90% of the semiconductors that China purchases are imported from the United States, South Korea, Ja-
pan, and Taiwan. The Chinese government is keen to develop a domestic semiconductor supply chain and technologies so that Chi-
na will be able to produce key components domestically, thus reducing reliance on imports and eliminating security risks. In this re-
gard, China has aggressively pushed for IC self-sufficiency through sustained policy and funding support for the overseas expansion
ambitions of domestic players. The Chinese government has released numerous related policies and guidelines. The three key docu-
ments related to developing the domestic semiconductor industry are (a) National IC Industry Development Guidelines, published in
Jul 2014, (b) Made in China 2025, published in May 2015, and (c) 13th Five-Year Plan Guidelines, published in Mar 2016. The Made
in China 2025 policy document clearly outlines China’s aim of raising its IC self-sufficiency rate to 40% in 2020 and 70% in 2025. The
13th Five-Year Plan Guidelines highlight the Chinese government’s aim to develop strategic emerging industries, including the semi-
conductor industry to achieve 15% contribution to GDP. The Chinese government will also develop the Internet of Things (IoT) indus-
try and the related supply chain. The IoT industry is one of the growth drivers of the semiconductor industry. The Chinese government
also set up the National IC Industry Investment Fund to provide substantial investment (RMB120bn in 2014~2017), while provincial
governments will collaborate with private equity investors to invest ~RMB600bn in strategic overseas M&A. In Jul 2016, the Chinese
government formed a Chinese high-end IC Alliance, whose members include Tsinghua Unigroup, MIIT, SMIC, ZTE, Huawei, etc. Ac-
cording to the China Semiconductor Industry Association, China’s semiconductor sector revenue grew at a CAGR of 16.9% in 2011-
2015, faster than the single digit growth of the global semiconductor sector. The major applications in China’s semiconductor industry
are computing (30%), communication (29%), consumer (22%) and industrial, including automobile (15%). Based on the Chinese
government’s target highlighted in the key documents mentioned above, the China semiconductor industry is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 20% in 2016-2020. To achieve the Chinese government's target, the China Semiconductor Industry Association estimates
that total investment will reach close to RMB1trn, of which 70% will be invested in semiconductor manufacturing.
Focus on domestic development instead of overseas M&A. According to news flow, the US-China Economic and Security Review
Commission proposed that the US government blocks Chinese State-owned enterprise (SOEs) from buying US companies. Chinese
companies have been aggressively acquiring foreign business since 2015. The deals for technology companies have caused con-
cern. The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which provides non-binding recommendations to Congress, has
accused the Chinese government of using its SOEs as tools to advance national security goals. In its latest report, the US-China Eco-
nomic and Security Review Commission highlighted that there is an inherently high risk that whenever an SOE acquires or gains ef-
fective control of a U.S. company, it will use the technology, intelligence, and market power it gains in the service of the Chinese state
to the detriment of U.S. national security. Mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships in the semiconductor industry have been on the rise
globally, and Chinese companies have been particularly aggressive. Through overseas M&A, Chinese semiconductor companies can
acquire technology, IP, human resources and a client base, thus narrowing the gap between themselves and the leading global play-
ers. However, we note that some offers by Chinese companies have been cancelled to avoid a foreign investment review by the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). A typical case was Tsinghua Unisplendour’s cancellation of a pro-
posal to acquire a 15% stake in Western Digital, as the deal had to go through a CFIUS investigation. Fairchild Semiconductor reject-
ed a US$2.46bn Chinese bid in favor of a lower offer from an American company, likely due to CFIUS concerns. Micron Technology
rejected an informal US$23bn offer from Tsinghua Unigroup on the presumption that it would be blocked by CFIUS due to national
security concerns. These failed deals, in our view, highlight the difficulties that Chinese companies may experience with foreign gov-
ernments unwilling to share technology essential for national security. Given the uncertainty in oversea M&A, there is discussion re-
garding whether the Chinese government should focus more on how to consolidate and restructure the existing semiconductor supply
chain in China instead of focusing on overseas M&A. Leading players such as SMIC [0981.HK] and Hua Hong [1347.HK] should
benefit from government’s strategy of consolidating existing resources, given their track record and technology leadership.

TMT INDUSTRY UPDATE – Hua Hong and SMIC: Two major beneficiaries of increasing localization of upstream components
Innovative way to support local semiconductor companies. In Aug 2015, The National IC Fund and SMIC set up Sino IC Leas-
ing, an equipment leasing company for facilitating the capacity expansion of companies in the semiconductor or strategic emerging
industries. Sino IC Leasing is treated as a financing platform, which supports the expansion of semiconductor-related companies and
offers flexible financing to semiconductor companies. According to news flow, Sino IC Leasing has secured over RMB100bn in capital
with various banks, and it is also considering an IPO, bond issuance and other capital sourcing possibilities to strengthen its financial
capability.
SMIC reported solid Q3 2016 results, and its guided outlook for Q4 2016 remains positive. SMIC’s Q3 2016 sales grew 12% QoQ,
and GPM was 30%, at the high end of previous guidance. SMIC stated that its utilization was 101% in Q3 2016, as CMOS sensors,
fingerprint IC sensors and embedded flash reported strong growth. SMIC management guided 5-7% QoQ growth in Q4 2016 and
increased production of 28nm products. GPM in Q4 2016 will remain in the range of 28-30%. SMIC expects growth to continue in Q1
2017, given tight capacity. SMIC is expected to continue to report good operating performance in the near term. Despite trading at a
higher valuation, SMIC offers a multi-year growth story and is expected to become the second largest foundry in the long term. SMIC
is also one of the major beneficiaries of Chinese government’s policy of support for the domestic IC industry (as such as financial
support from the China IC Fund and local governments).
Hua Hong also reported solid Q3 2016 results. The Company achieved a utilization rate of 100.7% in Q3 2016, up from 95.5% in Q2
2016 and 90.4% in Q3 2015. Hua Hong also achieved a gross margin of 31.1% in Q3 2016, up from 30.8% in Q2 2016. Hua Hong
highlighted that the Company will focus on a niche market strategy, which will allow it to become a leader in several specialty applica-
tions with huge growth potential, such as bank IC cards, LED power management, fingerprint IC sensors and EV charging. Despite
limited new capacity in the near term, Hua Hong is trying to raise its ASP and gross margin through improvement in its product mix.
Major beneficiaries. We reiterate the view that domestic IC foundries such as Hua Hong and SMIC will be major beneficiaries of
import substitution of upstream components in the long run. There is no major A share-listed IC foundry, but SMIC and Hua Hong are
treated as proxies for the theme of localization of IC supply. There is concern that the new capacity ramp up may affect their operat-
ing margins, but management of both Companies highlighted that the impact is manageable and they don’t see much negative impact
at the margin. Shares of both Hua Hong and SMIC retreated recently, in our view, due to profit taking and limited recent news flow.
However, given their leading position in China and their track record, the recent share price weakness offers a good revisit opportuni-
ty. Apart from Hua Hong and SMIC, we believe that other upstream names, especially IC design houses, such as CEC [85.HK],
Shanghai Fudan [1358.HK], will benefit from the mega trend. CEC is transforming into an IC design house, making it one of the bene-
ficiaries of the government’s supportive policies, and the Company serves as major platform for IC chips under the CEC group, focus-
ing mainly on overseas M&A. Shanghai Fudan is a leading IC design house for the financial and infrastructure sectors. Upstream
suppliers such as Hua Hong and Times Electric [3898.HK] are likely to benefit from increasing demand for high-end components,
including IGBT and MOSFET.
