Faster OLED adoption at China smartphone makers; OLED

Faster-than-expected OLED adoption at China smartphone

We see that OLED adoption at China smartphone makers is faster than our previous

expectation, and now assume OLED adoption at China smartphone to reach 38% of total by

2018e (vs previous estimate of 30%) from 9% in 2015e. We attribute this to two factors:

1) pursuit of differentiation by Chinese smartphone makers amid intensifying competition and

2) price parity of OLED over LCD. Especially, flexible OLED adoption is faster at China

smartphone due to need for design differentiation. Moreover, Samsung’s success in Galaxy S7

Edge and Apple’s potential flexible OLED adoption are driving Chinese makers to hasten OLED

adoption. Oppo/Vivo/Huawei/Xiaomi look to have plans to launch smartphone with curved

display in 2016e, according to local news (Financial News, 2 May 2016).

Faster OLED transition in

smartphone but slower in TV

Faster flexible OLED adoption at China smartphone for product and

design differentiation than we previously expected

OLED provides product differentiation in saturated smartphone market

We think Chinese smartphones players will play an important role in driving acceleration of

global OLED penetration in smartphone since: 1) market leaders Samsung and Apple are

looking to aggressively adopt OLED displays for key differentiating feature and 2) OLED

appears to now be a more feasible display solution compared to LCD in terms of both

cost/return profile and technological competitiveness. Chinese players are following suit in order

to not lag the competition. As such, we expect faster OLED penetration in Chinese smartphone

to 18%/32%/38% of total in 16e/17e/18e from 15%/25%/30% in our previous forecasts. We

estimate Chinese OLED smartphone shipments to grow 78% annually during 2015-18e.

Factoring this, we also raise OLED adoption at global smartphone to 21%/34%/43% in

2016/17/18e from 20%/32%/41%, respectively. We look for Global OLED smartphone

shipments to grow 58% annually during 2015-18e.

Chinese makers likely to aggressively adopt OLED in order to not lag Samsung and

Apple in competition

With market leaders Samsung and Apple looking to aggressively adopt OLED displays for key

differentiating features we believe Chinese brands will be keen not to lag in the competition and

follow suit. As noted in our recent report (see OLED: Improved visibility on upside catalysts,

16 April 2016), the likeihood for Apple’s (AAPL.OQ, USD93.88, not covered) OLED adoption

appears to be increasing from the new phone in 2H17. We assume 100m units of OLED-based

iPhones in 2H17e. Moreover, Samsung Electronics seems to be aggressively expanding

adoption of OLED display at its growing mid-low line-ups, and we assume 85% of OLED

adoption at Samsung by 2018e from 40% in 2015.

OLED adoption at major Chinese players: Oppo/Vivo/Huawei

Based on our observations, Chinese smartphone players (eg, Oppo, Vivo and Huawei), have

recently achieved significant shipment growth by successfully differentiating their smartphones

from competitors by adopting OLED displays. We note that Oppo increased its global market

share by 3ppt to 5.5% in 1Q16, ranking 4th

(from 11th

in 1Q15) according to IDC, and it is also

gaining traction in emerging markets (eg, India and Malaysia). Also, Vivo saw its market share

rise by 2ppt to 4.3% in 1Q16 ranking 5th

in global market (from 12th

in 1Q15). Huawei ranks 3rd

and the top five global smartphone leaders are Chinese players.

According to IHS, OLED penetration at Chinese smartphone players will be accelerated this

year. OLED adoption at OPPO should reach 39%, a 2ppt increase from last year, and Vivo and

Huawei should also increase to 30% and 8%, respectively. Other Chinese players, such as

Meizu and Lenovo, indicated plans to gradually increase adoption of OLED displays at their

smartphone product line-up, according to IHS.

OLED price parity over LCD to be a major stimulus for OLED transition

Manufacturing costs for OLED became lower than LCD in 1Q16 and thus we assume price

parity will occur in 2Q16e. This price parity will likely be a major factor, stimulating OLED

adoption at Chinese smartphones since higher cost and panel price sensitivity at Chinese

smartphone makers were major hurdles for such a transition, even with better technological

competitiveness. But with manufacturing costs of OLED cheaper than that of LCD, OLED

appears to now be a more feasible display solution compared to LCD in terms of both

cost/return profile and technology, and thus we believe OLED transition will be given a strong lift.

Market research firm IHS reported that the manufacturing cost for 5” OLED panels became

slightly lower than that of the same-sized LCD at USD14.3 in 1Q16 due to: 1) higher utilisation

at Samsung Display amid customer expansion, especially with Chinese smartphone makers,

and 2) lower depreciation cost. In terms of cost, OLED panel has a 2% premium over LCD as

costs for OLED fell by 16% q-o-q to USD14.3 while LCD panel costs fell 7% to USD14.6. We

expect the decline in OLED display costs to accelerate driven by a fall in per-unit manufacturing

costs as utilization rises from increasing adoption of OLED displays globally.

Full benefit to OLED equipment and material suppliers

We believe price parity and faster decline in OLED display costs from increasing adoption of

OLED displays will be key drivers for acceleration of OLED adoption and thus we reaffirm our

high conviction of net flexible OLED capacity increase of 108k panel per month capacity in

2017e. We expect this to lead to stronger order flows to equipment makers during 2H16-1H17.

As such, we reiterate our Buys on both OLED equipment and material suppliers as near-term

beneficiaries. In addition, we also like Samsung (a constituent of both HSBC GEMs Super 15 and

Asia Super Ten) and LGD as leading OLED smartphone panel makers.

Lower visibility on OLED TV, but likely only slight delay It seems that visibility on Samsung OLED investment has been declining, and Samsung is likely

to focus on LCD based quantum dot TV technology in the near term. CEO of Samsung Visual

Display division, Hyunsuk Kim (on 4 May), expressed recently that he thinks quantum dot

technology is a more attractive solution than OLED and highlighted that OLED will need further

technology development in terms of materials and evaporators in order to improve product

quality and increase its life time. This implies there is no major technology change until 2017e,

in our view.

Although delayed, we still see OLED as a mainstream ultra-premium TV

However, we still think white OLED TV will become widely adopted in the premium TV space by

2018e, due to a number of advantages, including: 1) vivid colours expression and superior

contrast ratio; 2) thinner and flexibility in design and 3) lower manufacturing costs at the end,

which make the products very marketable. LGD’s aggressive expansion and market share gain

in the ultra-premium segment (USD3,000 or higher) could turn lead to Samsung to move into

OLED TV market from 2018e.

Sharp LCD panel cost decline likely ahead at China could pose a threat to Korean TV

makers

As such, although we push out our capacity ramp-up schedule forecast by 6 months, we

assume Samsung WOLED ramp-up will start from 2H17e for the 2018 line up. We think OLED-

based quantum dot TV could be another potential viable choice for Samsung if it likes to

maintain the quantum dot slogan in its TV marketing. As China panel makers will likely be able

to offer more comprehensive product line-ups in terms of sizes (especially for the 60" and plus

segment) after 10.5G fab ramp-up in 2018e, competition in the LCD TV market may become

tougher without product differentiation. We think WOLED could be viable selection for Korea TV

makers in the end.

SFA Engineering (056190 KS, KRW58,000, Buy, TP KRW82,000, 41% implied upside)

Valuation: Our unchanged target price is derived by applying an unchanged target PE multiple

of 17.4x to our 12-month-forward EPS estimate. Our target multiple is the peer group’s five-year

historical average PE. We have chosen that period as it corresponds to the five-year cycle of

the semiconductor market. Key downside risks: 1) further delays in the supply of front-end

equipment to Samsung Display’s OLED manufacturing lines; and 2) delays in Samsung

Display’s capacity expansion for smartphones (6G) and TVs (8G).

Wonik IPS (240810 KS, KRW19,850, Buy, TP KRW25,000, 26% implied upside)

Valuation: We derive our unchanged target price by applying a target PE multiple of 17.4x

(peer group’s five-year historical average PE, which takes in the five-year cycle of the

semiconductor market) to our 2H16e-1H17e EPS as we believe strong order momentum for

both 3D NAND and OLED will begin from 2H16e. Key downside risks: 1) slower-than-

expected 3D NAND migration at Wonik IPS’ captive customer, Samsung; 2) any delay in the

delivery of orders or the timing of recognising the settlement; 3) weaker-than-expected

investment in semiconductors and display by Wonik IPS’ captive customer due to slower

demand growth; and 4) faster-than-expected extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography

commercialisation, which could pose downside risks as EUV could reduce the number of

deposition/etching process.

Duksan Neolux (213420 KS, CMP: KRW28,300, Buy, TP KRW45,000, 59% implied upside)

Valuation: Our unchanged target price is based on a PB multiple of 4.1x unchanged, an

upcycle average during 2010-2012 when ROE expanded to above 20% from 9% driven by

OLED material sales expansion, applied to an average of our 2016e/17e BVPS estimates.

Key downside risks: 1) further delay in launch of high-margin new product to affect our margin

assumption; 2) concentration risk due to a high dependence on a single product (OLED), and a

single customer (SDC); 3) concerns over a delay in earnings improvement due to key

customers delaying OLED investment; and 4) intensifying pressure on OLED material prices.

Samsung Electronics (005930 KS, KRW1,264,000, Buy, TP KRW1,900,000, 50% implied

upside)

Valuation: Our unchanged target price is based on an unchanged target PB multiple of 1.5x,

which is the historical 10-year average multiple, applied to 2016e book value, on improved

smartphone shipment and its positive impact on Samsung’s capital-intensive components, such

as memory, system LSI and OLED display. Key downside risks: 1) a fall in demand caused by

a global economic slowdown or appreciation of the KRW, which could lead to weaker earnings,

2) further intensified competition from emerging mobile companies and potential in NAND,

3) from a technology perspective, any unexpected difficulty in mass producing foldable

smartphones, 4) weaker-than-expected smartphone growth, especially in the high-end segment,

and 5) weaker traction of foldable smartphone by end users. Samsung Electronics is an Asia

Super Ten and GEMs Super 15 stock.

LG Display (034220 KS, CMP: KRW24,400, Buy, TP KRW30,600, 25% implied upside)

Valuation: We see fair value at 0.8x (unchanged) FY16e BVPS, which gives us a target price of

KRW30,600 (unchanged). The target multiple of 0.8x represents the mid-point of 0.6-1.0x PB

traded in 2014, when ROE was in the high single digits. Key downside risks include the

slowdown in size migration. Company-specific risks include: 1) aggressive investment in OLED,

which has yet to be commercially proven for large-sized applications and 2) high volatility in the

Apple product cycles.

The target price is based on the analyst’s assessment of the stock’s actual current value, although we expect it to take six to 12

months for the market price to reflect this. When the target price is more than 20% above the current share price, the stock will

be classified as a Buy; when it is between 5% and 20% above the current share price, the stock may be classified as a Buy or a

Hold; when it is between 5% below and 5% above the current share price, the stock will be classified as a Hold; when it is

between 5% and 20% below the current share price, the stock may be classified as a Hold or a Reduce; and when it is more

than 20% below the current share price, the stock will be classified as a Reduce.

Our ratings are re-calibrated against these bands at the time of any 'material change' (initiation or resumption of coverage,

change in target price or estimates).

Upside/Downside is the percentage difference between the target price and the share price.

Prior to this date, HSBC’s rating structure was applied on the following basis:

For each stock we set a required rate of return calculated from the cost of equity for that stock’s domestic or, as appropriate,

regional market established by our strategy team. The target price for a stock represented the value the analyst expected the

stock to reach over our performance horizon. The performance horizon was 12 months. For a stock to be classified as

Overweight, the potential return, which equals the percentage difference between the current share price and the target price,

including the forecast dividend yield when indicated, had to exceed the required return by at least 5 percentage points over the

succeeding 12 months (or 10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). For a stock to be classified as Underweight,

the stock was expected to underperform its required return by at least 5 percentage points over the succeeding 12 months (or

10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). Stocks between these bands were classified as Neutral.

*A stock was classified as volatile if its historical volatility had exceeded 40%, if the stock had been listed for less than 12

months (unless it was in an industry or sector where volatility is low) or if the analyst expected significant volatility. However,

stocks which we did not consider volatile may in fact also have behaved in such a way. Historical volatility was defined as the

past month's average of the daily 365-day moving average volatilities. In order to avoid misleadingly frequent changes in rating,

however, volatility had to move 2.5 percentage points past the 40% benchmark in either direction for a stock's status to change.

model Buy = Buy, Hold = Hold and Reduce = Sell. For rating definitions under both models, please see “Stock ratings and basis

for financial analysis” above.
