AI-led PCB growth with substrate upside ahead 深南电路(002916) SCC’s FY25 revenue grew 32% YoY to RMB23.6bn, in line with BBG consensusand 4% above our forecast. GPM improved significantly to 28.3% (0.3pptsabove BBG consensus and 1.4ppts above our estimate), up from 24.8% inFY24, driven by improved product mix, better cost efficiency and higherutilization. Net profit rose 75% YoY to RMB3.3bn, slightly below BBG consensus(-0.7%) but 8% ahead of our forecast. By quarter, 4Q revenue increased 42%YoY and 9% QoQ, while net profit grew 144% YoY but declined 1.6% QoQ. 4QGPM eased sequentially to 28.6% from 31.4% in 3Q mainly due to depreciationfrom the Nantong IV and Thailand facilities and higher raw material costs.Looking ahead, we expect SCC to continue benefiting from strong multilayerPCB demand driven by robust AI infra. capex, while its substrate businessshould gradually improve as BT supply remains tight and ABF/FC-BGA rampson rising domestic demand. Maintain BUY, with TP adjusted to RMB288. PCB revenue grew 37% YoY in FY25 with GPM at 35.5%. SCC continuedto benefit from strong AI data center demand (~25% of PCB revenue), whiletelecom was ~40% of PCB revenue, with utilization maintained at around95% across most fully ramped facilities. 4Q GPM softened slightly due toramp-up costs at Nantong IV and Thailand, higher raw material prices (e.g.,gold and CCL), and a higher contribution from lower-margin PCBA (revenueup 9% YoY, GPM at 15%). Looking ahead, we expect PCB revenue toremain supported by ongoing AI infra. capex, with strong demand from datacenters, switches and optical modules sustaining high utilization, whilemargins should stabilize as new capacity ramps and product mix improves. Substrate revenue grew 31% YoY in FY25 with GPM improving to22.6% (vs. 18.2% in FY24), supported by stronger BT substrate shipmentsand improving utilization amid tight industry supply and relatively stablepricing. BT demand remained robust with long order visibility, andGuangzhou BT capac...

霸王茶姬与茶百道看起来最适合竞标 TA Associates正准备出售的这家高端茶饮先驱的控股权。 咏竹坊 作为全球最早一批珍珠奶茶品牌之一,贡茶如今传出待价而沽。据报,贡茶集团的大股东正考虑出售公司,这笔交易对该连锁品牌的估值可能达到约20亿美元。眼下最大的问题是,究竟谁会有意接手这宗交易,毕竟买下这笔股权的代价很可能至少要10亿美元。 虽然不排除会有另一家私募基金接手 TA Associates 自2019年持有至今的股权,但更有可能的情况,是由私募基金联同中国其他头部奶茶连锁品牌一同出手。这些品牌之中,包括蜜雪冰城(2097.HK)、霸王茶姬(CHA.US)及茶百道(2555.HK),近年都表现出拓展海外市场的意图。若收购贡茶,它们便可一举取得贡茶在全球33个市场、逾2,200家门店的国际网络。 更重要的是,上述中国茶饮连锁品牌目前大多已实现盈利、负债水平相对不高,而且在过去两年完成上市后,手上都握有可观现金。这些 IPO 大多在香港进行,合计集资规模达数亿美元。下文将进一步检视其中几家最具代表性的企业,看看谁最有可能成为竞购贡茶的热门人选。 不过在此之前,先来看最新消息来源。相关报道可追溯至彭博上周的一篇文章,指 TA Associates 已聘请摩根大通,研究出售其所持贡茶股权的可能性。TA 至今从未披露其具体持股比例,只表示那是一笔控股权。不过,若 TA 真能为贡茶争取到其目标中的20亿美元估值,潜在买家就意味着至少要支付10亿美元以上。 过去二十年席卷全球的奶茶热潮,其实正是源自台湾,而贡茶正是最早入局的品牌之一。两名好友早于1996年便开出首家奶茶店,之后于2006年在台湾南部城市高雄创立首家贡茶门店,创办人之一吴振华至今仍积极参与公司营运。 公司另一位关键人物是澳洲人Martin Berry,他目前负责贡茶的全球业务,而这部分业务已成为公司最主要的增长引擎。根据CNBC近期报道,Berry在2011年仍是一名银行家,当时30多岁,前往新加坡旅行时,偶然看到一家贡茶门店外大排长龙,许多人等着买奶茶。出于好奇,他也跟着排队,结果对产品本身以及品牌受欢迎的程度都留下深刻印象。 在多次尝试联络贡茶总部未果后,他干脆亲自飞到台湾寻找对方。之后,他与公司签约成为加盟商。当时贡茶业务仅覆盖亚洲四个市场,而Berry随后把品牌带进第五个市场——韩国。到了TA As...
