Source:Wind 2025:SPD todriveevenuegrowth,fasterexpansion inautofieldWe expect DDR5 SPD and automotive/industrial EEPROM to remain the key drivers of revenue expansion and profitability improvement in 2025, while NORFlash revenue growthmaydepend on market expansion. By product: 1) SPD: Weexpect rising DDR5 adoptiononserver/PC upgrade demand,while prices mayremainrelatively stable. 2) Automotive EEPROM: With full coverage of A1 andlower-grade products, some projects that entered verification last yearshouldcontributeincrementsthisyear,inourview.Givenafavorablecompetitivelandscape,we projectsegmentprices andtheGPM toremain stable.3) NORFlash: Revenue in 2024 mainly came from consumer-electronics applications suchas e-cigarettes. Going forward, we expect expansion into higher-value marketssuch as auto electronics and industrial control,and costs mayfurther improveasshipmentsincrease. 4)VCMdrivers: High-end products such as closed-loop andopticalimage stabilizationdriversmayachieveshipments in mid-rangetohigh-endand flagship smartphones. Investmentadvice:target priceofRMB104.7,maintainBUYWe expect DDR5 SPD and automotive/industrial EEPROMto maintain rapid growth,andmaintainour2025/2026/2027attributableNPforecastsatRMB471/648/870mn.Given insipiddemandfrommobile phones, e-cigarettes, andother consumer electronics, we value the stock at 35x 2025E PE, vs its peers’median of 48x on Wind consensus, for our target price of RMB104.70. MaintainBUY. Risks: lower DDR5 penetration than we expect; intensified market competition;slow new product promotion.
