Ju Teng is the world's No.1 computer casings maker. Photo: Ju TengJP Morgan hikes JU TENG targetJP Morgan said it is raising its target price on Ju Teng International (HK: 3336) to 6.3 hkd from 6.0, while reiterating its “Overweight” recommendation on the world’s top computer casings play.
The new target price represents a 2014 PE of 8.0 times.
“We think Ju Teng’s migration into the handset space is a very good move. Now we will focus on the feedback on this new composite casing as it could determine the addressable market scale for Ju Teng in the next two to three years,” JP Morgan said.
Ju Teng will begin to supply black/white casings for a US smartphone vendor this quarter.
The casing is a new composite material made by mixing PET and PVC.

In addition, it is also cheaper and more flexible than metal for industrial design (e.g., curved back plate),” JP Morgan said.The research house said it views this as a very good move as it implies a new growth area when notebook computers slow down.
“Ju Teng’s interim results were slightly better than our expectation. Better metal casing contribution helps the margins but the incremental parts were partially attributed to minority interest.
“We accordingly slightly raise our 2013/2014 forecasts by 3%/5%.”

HSBC Global Research said it is maintaining its “Overweight” call on Ju Teng International (HK: 3336) and hiking the target on the computer casings giant to 7.0 hkd from 6.5 (recent share price 4.73).
“We raise our earnings forecast by 5%/11% for FY13/14e, respectively, mainly to reflect stronger margins and increasing in-house metal/composite material casing manufacturing.
“We expect the favorable product design trend, rising mix of non-plastic casings, and new business opportunities in the smartphone arena to continue to drive margin expansion,” HSBC said.
The research house added that Ju Teng’s strong interim margin performance and consensus earnings upgrade should catalyze the share price.
