4Q25 GP Constrained, to Recover in 2026 Amid Industry Upturn
发布时间:2026-05-08 来源:华泰证券
Silan Microelectronics has posted 2025 revenue of RMB13.05bn(+16.32%YoY),attributable net profit of RMB399mn(+81.27%YoY),and recurring net profit of RMB372mn(+47.82%YoY).For 4Q25,revenue reached RMB3.34bn(+9.19%YoY,-1.14%QoQ),with attributable net profit at RMB49.49mn(-74.09%YoY,-41.28%QoQ).The full-year attributable net profit fell short of our RMB500mn estimate,due to:1)inventory destocking in the NEV sector during 4Q following purchase tax halving policies,dampening demand for certain power products;and 2)upstream raw material cost pressure compressing gross margin(4Q25 gross margin:16.66%,-1.93pp YoY,-1.35pp QoQ).Notably,Silan recorded robust 2025 revenue growth in IPM modules and automotive IGBT/SiC products.We are confident that Silan,an IDM-driven platform player,will continue diversifying its product portfolio to expand revenue growth.We expect gradual margin recovery during the industry’s moderate upturn.Maintain OVERWEIGHT with atarget price of RMB33.13.
2025:4Q margin pressure from rising materials cost
By segment,1)Discrete devices:Revenue reached RMB6.38bn(+17.3%YoY),driven by market share gains in NEV/PV applications.IGBT and SiC products for the solar/auto sector rose 43%YoY to RMB3.27bn.Segment gross margin dipped to 12.22%(-1.04pp YoY),under the weight of persistent industry competition.2)Integrated circuits:Revenue grew 19.9%YoY to RMB4.92bn,with IPM module revenue up~25.3%YoY,an indication of continued strong momentum.Meanwhile,MEMS/PMIC products showed gradual recovery.Segment margin improved to 31.58%(+0.87pp YoY).3)LEDs:Revenue declined 0.4%YoY to RMB765mn amid weak demand,with margin contracting 4.61pp to 1.91%.Company-level depreciation rose to RMB1.25bn in 2025(vs RMB1.09bn in 2024).Going forward,Silan plans to advance 8-inch SiC capacity expansion at Silan Jihong and 12-inch high-end analog chip investments at Silan Jihua/Jike.
2026 outlook:Sector recovery to drive margin restoration
1)IPM/MEMS momentum:In 2025,IPM module/MEMS sensor revenue reached RMB3.65/0.28bn(+25/12%YoY),with domestic white goods makers’IPM adoption up~47%YoY.Management is guiding for sustained 20-30%IPM shipment growth.The commercial rollout of smartphone six-axis IMUs(2025 shipments up 1.8x YoY)could emerge as akey IC growth driver,in our view.2)Capacity expansion:The company is enhancing 12-inch analog IC and IGBT chip output,scaling 6-inch SiC power device production,and achieving 8-inch SiC pilot-line readiness,which we believe will make its third-gen semiconductor products competitive.3)Pricing action:We see the 10%across-the-board product price hike effective 1March partially offsetting material cost pressure.We anticipate gradual gross margin improvement during the power semiconductor recovery cycle.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We expect robust revenue growth from product portfolio expansion and sustained profitability improvement through advanced process technologies.This should help the company to navigate industry cycles.We forecast 2026/2027/2028 revenue of RMB15.06/17.41/19.90bn.Given slower-than-we-expected gross margin recovery for 2025,we trim our 2026/2027 gross margin forecast to 20.7/21.9%(vs our previous forecast of 22.1/23.8%)and introduce our 2028 forecast of 22.6%.Hence,we project 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit of RMB794/1,036/1,310mn(7/14%below our prior 2026/2027 forecast of RMB0.85/1.2bn).We apply a4.3x 2026E PB to the company,a 20%premium to peers’3.6x average on Wind consensus,narrower than our prior premium rate to account for margin pressure and heavy capex requirements for 12-inch analog/8-inch SiC lines.Based on our 2026E BVPS forecast of RMB7.67,we lower our target price to RMB33.13(from RMB36.63 previously based on 4.5x 2026E PB).Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:Slower end-demand recovery than we expect,sluggish 12-inch capacity ramp-up,intense pricing competition.
