Xiaomi Has Chance to Justify Lofty Valuation After 23% Slide

(Bloomberg) -- Xiaomi Corp. trades at valuation multiples similar to internet giants Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Whether that’s justified could become clearer when the smartphone maker reports results.

Come Monday evening, investors will be able to see if its internet services business grew and how much revenue contribution came from hardware.

Founder Lei Jun describes Xiaomi as an innovation-driven internet company, yet that’s only accounted for an average 9.2 percent of total revenue in the past two quarters.

Smartphones -- where Lei has pledged to keep margins below 5 percent -- contributed over 70 percent.

In IPO Letter, Xiaomi CEO Explains Innovation at ‘Honest’ Prices

Skepticism over this vision has sent Xiaomi down 23 percent since its listing in Hong Kong in early July. That’s despite 18 of 24 analysts tracked by Bloomberg having buy or equivalent ratings on the Beijing-based company, and the average price target implying a nearly 50 percent gain for the stock over the next 12 months. Xiaomi rose 0.8 percent to HK$13.04 as of 9:32 a.m. Monday.

It’s still not a good entry point for investors, according to Kaiyuan Capital Ltd.

“The stock may still be overvalued, but more worrisome is the disconnect between management’s public comments and the company’s performance,” Kaiyuan managing director Brock Silvers said.

“Management at times has been less than fully convincing in its explanation of Xiaomi’s strategy, and the market is still looking for results to support those views.”

China’s Xiaomi Aims its Priciest Phone at Huawei and Apple

Some bulls believe Xiaomi’s valuation is at an attractive level and investor concerns about the company are misplaced. The stock last traded at 21 times 12-month forward earnings, compared with a multiple of just 14 for Apple Inc. and 26 for both Tencent and Alibaba.

Citigroup Inc., which last week initiated coverage of Xiaomi with a buy rating, said its valuation belies the company’s strengths. Those include overseas opportunities and its ability to attract customers with cheap prices, which then provides a large and ready user base for the internet services business, analysts William Yang and Andre Lin wrote in a note.

Xiaomi widens wearables lead in the mainland

by Tereza Cai

Xiaomi (1810) widened its advantage as China's number one wearable maker in the third quarter.

According to an IDC report, shipments were up 77.6 percent on the corresponding period of 2017 and up 50 percent on the previous quarter.

The third-quarter shipment of wearable devices in China amounted to 14.5 million, up 12.5 percent year on year, according to the global technology research and consulting firm's Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker.

Xiaomi was the largest wearable maker as it launched Xiaomi 3 at that time. The company recorded 4.19 million shipments in the single quarter, accounting for 28.9 percent market share, up 37.8 percent year on year.

However, BBK Electronics saw a larger growth in shipments in the third quarter of 2018, in light of its budget GPS phone watch for kids. The company's shipments spiked 63.8 percent.

Huawei, leveraging on its Huawei Band and Honor Color Band beat the BBK Electronics in shipments to become the second in the ranking. It shipped over 1.59 million wearables in China, accounting for 11 percent of market share.

Its competitor Qihoo 360, which also focuses on kids' watches, saw a sharp plunge during the same period. Shipments for the company slumped by 27.4 percent to 568,000.

Kids' watch maker Shenzhen Continental Wireless ranked fifth in the report.

The Middle East, Turkey, and Africa markets, witnessed various new product launches in Q3 2018 from brands such as Fitbit, Huawei, and Garmin.

A large number of shipments from Xiaomi, particularly to Turkey and the UAE, was another driver of basic wearables growth in the region.

Xiaomi launched its first flagship store in Turkey and shipped a large number of basic wearables to the country, alongside other consumer devices such as PCs and smartphones.

<Research Report>JPM Downgrades XIAOMI-W (01810.HK) to Neutral, TP Cut to $10.5

JPMorgan downgraded XIAOMI-W (01810.HK) from Overweight to Neutral in its report. Hence, Xiaomi's price target was cut from $18 to $10.5 to factor in easing smartphone and Internet growth in China.

Xiaomi will likely fail to gain share in the tough year of 2019, given slipping smartphone demand, the broker predicted.

Further, Xiaomi is expected to post falling smartphone unit sales and flattish MAU.

Overall, the 2018-20 net profit forecasts for Xiaomi were lowered by 6%/ 20%/ 29%, while its 2018-20E EPS came in at RMB0.48/ RMB0.43/ RMB0.58.

Billions of Xiaomi Shares Are About to Be Unlocked for Sale

by Sofia Horta e Costa

More than 3 billion shares will be unlocked, equal to about 19 percent of those outstanding, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The stock trades at 17 times projected 12-month earnings, less than half its July multiple. It’s still 44 percent more expensive than Apple, which is reeling from its worst quarterly rout in more than a decade.

Hedge funds have been increasing their bearish bets, with almost 30 million shares sold short Tuesday, the most since August.
