[I-bank focus]BofAML ups numbers for Geely post January data
[ET Net News Agency, 8 February 2018] Geely Automobile (00175) reported January sales volume of 155k units, up by 51% YoY and about 10% of its group 2018 target (1.58mn units). Lynk & Co also posted sales of 6,173 units, led by the Lynk & Co 01. BofA Merrill Lynch said Geely's volume sales growth momentum remains strong amid lackluster China passenger vehicle (PV) growth. The research house raised its 2017/18 earnings forecasts by 8.5%/10.4% on 2017 preliminary volume sales and earnings, and a potential ASP hike, driven by new product launches. It reiterated its "buy" rating on Geely, with a target price of HK$36. BofAML expects Geely's ASP to grow by 5% YoY in 2018, mainly on better mix (more mid-to-high end). Hence, it expects Geely's GPM to grow by 2.4/0.8ppt in 2017/18, aided by efficiency improvements and ASP hikes. (KL)
