DJ MARKET TALK: MS Raises AAC Acoustic Target To HK$5 From HK$4

1012 [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Morgan Stanley raises AAC Acoustic (2018.HK) target to HK$5.00 from HK$4.00 after increasing 2010 EPS forecast by 4% to reflect upside from Samsung, and to a lesser extent, Apple. Keeps Overweight on intact market-share expansion story via Nokia and RIMM, new project ramp to bolster top-line despite weak underlying demand, new client additions, such as Samsung, and attractive valuation at 9X house's 2009E EPS forecast or 7X ex-cash vs peers' 12X-16X.

"While the macro climate is tough and 1Q09 momentum remains slow, we believe the worst is behind AAC and its exposure to nearly all the right places (Nokia's low-end, China handset plays, Smartphone proxy plus additions from Samsung) in the handset industry should enable it to regain top-line steam from 2Q and thus expand margins." Stock +0.9% at HK$4.31.

DJ MARKET TALK: Nomura Ups AAC Acoustic Target 17.5% To HK$4.76

0929 [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Nomura raises AAC Acoustic's (2018.HK) target to HK$4.76 from HK$4.05 after pegging price target to simple average FY09F P/E of component peers, keeps methodology unchanged.

"In our view, AAC's defensive qualities are intact - solid balance sheet, large net cash position (net cash at end-FY08 is equivalent to 23% of market cap), and market-share gains.

We think these positives will support the stock price, even if the broader handset sector remains volatile." Says, catalysts include microphones, with Nokia's programs starting in 2H09; with most major handset brands now customers, expects AAC's business model to move to lower capex intensity. Keeps Buy. Stock closed down 4.0% at HK$4.27 Wednesday.

DJ MARKET TALK: MS Raises AAC Acoustic Target To HK$9.50

DJ MARKET TALK: Goldman Upgrades AAC Acoustic To Buy Vs Neutral

1048 [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Goldman Sachs upgrades AAC Acoustic (2018.HK) to Buy from Neutral, adds Conviction Buy List.

Says recent share price pullback gives investors chance to invest in AAC's industry dominance and secular growth opportunity, given solid market-share gains and product expansion with Nokia and other customers; weakening competition amid industry consolidation.

Adds, AAC's track record of cash returns supports house's view it will offer sustainable cash returns in the next 3 years. Raises target price to HK$13.80 from HK$11.40 after increasing 2010-11 EPS forecasts by 3%-32% on new product cycles in LED TV and customer expansion.

DJ MARKET TALK:Currency Risk N/T Concern For AAC Acoustic-Goldman
March 1, 2010

1428 [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Goldman Sachs says currency risk (recent EUR weakness) a near-term concern for AAC Acoustic (2018.HK), as company has high Euro-zone exposure (45% of revenues) due to its Nokia business. House cuts FY10, FY11 earnings forecasts by 2% to reflect impact of labor shortages on revenue.

Still, "we see the currency impact as meaningful, but not meaningful enough to change our investment thesis on AAC - i.e., a solid industry position, growing addressable market and sustainable cash returns."

Notes, AAC sees ongoing business opportunities in acoustic space (e.g. market share gain within Nokia, LED TV speaker), potential customer expansion to Apple and Samsung in 2H10, solid position as the best price/performance acoustic supplier in Asia. Keeps at Buy with HK$13.80 target. Stock last +0.7% at HK$12.20 midday

DJ MARKET TALK:JPM Ups AAC Acoustic Target To HK$18 From HK$14.60
Jan 11, 2010

Keeps Overweight and rates top pick in handset space. Adds, Apple's (AAPL) new iPhone announcement could be a near-term catalyst as AAC's order win in the refreshed iPhone and later iPod would open up a new revenue stream and further validate its leadership in miniature acoustic components.
