Oct 2017

ZTE Corp (763 HK)

Key Beneficiary Of 5G Era

With improving progress in 5G field tests in China and other key overseas markets, the 5G telecom capex cycle is likely to arrive by 2019 as expected.

Telecom equipment makers with ample technology reserves in 5G, eg ZTE, should directly
benefit from the impending 5G investment, with additional 5G revenue to flow into ZTE’s 2019 results.

Maintain BUY and target price of HK$32.70, based on 28x 2018F PE, which is not excessive compared with the previous weaker 4G capex cycle.

New ZTE regime could climb out of big hole

by Robyn Mak

HONG KONG (Reuters Breakingviews) - ZTE is back to life, but faces a tough rehab. The Chinese telecommunications company lost nearly $3 billion in market value after its reprieve from a death sentence imposed by the Trump administration.

That suggests concerns about a clean management sweep. If, however, ZTE can find decent leadership and stay out of trouble – big ifs, for sure – a 5G rollout holds real promise.

After confirming a settlement announced earlier by the U.S. Department of Commerce, ZTE’s shares resumed trading again on Wednesday for the first time in two months. They promptly tumbled about 40 percent in Hong Kong and the maximum permissible 10 percent in Shenzhen.

Though authorities reversed their ban on American companies selling their wares to ZTE, the lifeline thrown to the smartphone and network equipment maker will take its toll.

ZTE must pay a $1 billion penalty and put another $400 million into escrow in case of further violations. It also agreed to overhaul its executive team and board. In the meantime, ZTE almost certainly lost contracts and suffered brand damage that will erode the bottom line.

The latest deal nevertheless ends another embarrassing saga for ZTE, assuming Congress does not step in to block it.

In 2016, ZTE confronted a similar crisis when it was caught skirting U.S. sanctions on Iran and North Korea. The financial penalty again looks manageable: ZTE, 30-percent backed by Chinese state-controlled enterprises, had over $4 billion of cash on hand as of March.

A leadership vacuum and the broader reputational hits could be troubling. ZTE hasn’t said how it plans to replace as many as 40 members of its senior management team. Meanwhile, the company will need to move fast to regain confidence from suppliers and customers.

There is still a chance for a turnaround, though. As the world’s fourth-largest telecom equipment provider, and China’s second-largest, ZTE plays a pivotal role for operators racing to upgrade to 5G ultra-fast wireless technology.

Between the time of the first sanctions violations pact and when the company was caught again earlier this year, its Hong Kong-listed shares doubled. If investors can tolerate the risk, there may yet be fresh reward.

Even With New Deal, ZTE Is Damaged Goods

Security and reputational concerns surrounding ZTE hard to dispel

By Fan Yu

As of the end of first quarter 2018, ZTE had an 11 percent smartphone market share in the United States, good for fourth place behind Apple, Samsung, and LG, according to Counterpoint Research.

As of today, ZTE’s smartphone shipments have completely halted, and it could take months for ZTE to ramp up production and ship phones again.

“When telecom companies buy infrastructure equipment, they need to feel assured that the company will be around in a few years to maintain that equipment”.

The price of ZTE’s bonds due in January 2020 crashed to 93.78 on June 8 from more than 101 as recently as mid-April.

<Research Report>Nomura Cuts ZTE (00763.HK) Target to $16; Rated Neutral

ZTE (00763.HK) had overcome a settlement with the US, Nomura said in its report, yet the revenue growth was expected to be unavoidably affected due to nearly operation shutdown since mid-April, Nomura said.

The research house forecast the business recovery will take longer time, especially when handset market shares may be taken away during the period.

The target price was trimmed to $16 from $27 with rating kept Neutral.

Nevertheless, the research house said ZTE is still seeing chances in 5G era although near-term uncertainty remains in place.
