Equity Bottom-Up

<p>FY22 revenue/earnings may rise; we recommend TRADING BUY given its flat momentum in the short run. Affected by seasonality, Delta Electronics’ 1Q22 revenue/earnings momentum may weaken. Nevertheless, this quarterly decline is milder than that in previous years due to strong market demand and postponed shipment of some orders. Catalyzed by EV, passive components and long-term trends of datacenter, 5G and automation, Delta’s revenue/earnings momentum may strengthen during FY21~22. We recommend TRADING BUY with TP of NTD300 (24x FY22 EPS estimate). </p><div class="content-highlight"><em>Content is external broker report sourced from online content aggregator through publicly available sources and is displayed below for general informational purposes only.

<p>Clients’ uncertain pull-in momentum and slow price adjustment; recommend NEUTRAL. Delta Electronics’ 3Q21 revenue met our forecast, but GM missed our forecast. Delta Electronics may continue facing cost pressure on higher materials prices as the price hike discussion with clients appears slow. Additionally, given upstream tight capacity in FY22, clients may still suffer from imbalance of component supply/demand condition.. Clients’ uncertain pull-in momentum and higher materials/component costs may still cast uncertainty of Delta Electronics’ revenue/earnings in FY22.
