Report Summary: Home Appliance Industry Analysis

Market Overvew and Key Metrics
The home appliance sector showed exceptional performance in 2023, with a cumulative 913% increase in year-end value, significantly outperforming the沪深300 index (-1138%). Fund funds increased their weight to 353% of the sector, but most individual stocks remain undervalued, with pe ratios often below historical levels. The industry benefitted from weak external factors but saw a boost in internal demand.

Investment Themes
The report identifies three main investment focus areas:

1. White Appliances (白电)
White appliances are expected to maintain steady performance in 2024. Comparisons with mature markets like the US and Japan show that even in declining real estate, outputs hold by adapting product upgrades and entering new markets. In the US, white appliance shipments grew steadily at around 2% CAGR over two decades despite cyclical issues. In Japan, while outputs declined, average prices rose, ensuring revenue stability. The upcoming 2024 has potential risks due to real estate decline but may see active promotion, though forecasts suggest a downtren (supply could drop by -110%/-124% under optimistic/neutral scenarios). Strong stocks include Gree Group (underlying risks) and leading brands like Midea and Haier as well as Dashu Home Appliance due to their stable operations.

2. Black Appliances (黑电) Overseas and MiniLED
For black appliances, overseas expansion is prominent, driven by events like the Euro Cup. For example, Hisense benefited as a 2024 Euro Cup sponsor. MicroLED is emerging as a key bet; Xiaomi launched an affordable premium model (SPro) that could penetrate at least 3403% by 2025. Other companies like TCL and Samsung focus on global growth via fairs and product enhancements. Technology advancements like panel miniaturization support this, with firms like BOE and China Star Optoelectronics leading panel innovation.

3. State-Owned Enterprise Reforms
Progress from recent S-OEs is marked by corporate efficiency improvements; Hisense Group achieved good profit stability through marketing and management separations, while Pacific Electric Chery Microwave saw performance driven by key customer relationships and military-civilian integration. Sichuan Jiuzhou is also gaining, with strong client ties (e.g., Huawei) and growing margins in both military and commercial domains.

Investment Recommendations
Strong recommendations: Hisense Home Appliance (value-driven, steady structure upgrade) and Pacific Electric Chery Microwave (mostly stable or improving performance). Midea and Haier (white appliance names with operational strength) also hold favor. Black appliance segment, with the MiniLED trend and rising global trade, could work for big players like the Hisense brokerage conglomerate in sector studies.
