Bocom Keeps ‘Buy’ Call on SUNNY OPTICAL
Bocom is maintaining its “Buy” recommendation on handset and camera lens assembly play Sunny Optical (HK: 2382) with a target price of 11.40 hkd (recent share price 8.00)
Sunny Optical’s September shipment volume of handset camera modules increased by 39.3% year-on-year in September, and 12% month-on-month, with the aggregate Jan-Sept shipment volume of handset camera modules up 50.2%.
The strong growth was mainly driven by the robust demand for smartphones,” said Bocom.
Shipment volume of handset lens sets increased by 6.9% year-on-year in September mainly due to the increased shipment volume to external customers, while shipment volume of spherical lenses down 54.4% year-on-year mainly due to weak demand for digital cameras.
Sunny Optical made an announcement on October 18 that the flood-affected production facilities of handset camera modules, spherical lenses, vehicle lens sets and optical instruments/infrared related products in Yuyao City have resumed production at normal capacities.
The Hong Kong-listed firm added that around half of the production facilities of handset lens sets have resumed normal capacity.
“We believe the impact of the flooding is limited,” the research house added.
