Implication:
* Our understanding, based on current market demand conditions, is that there is risk for Mediatek to post NT$ 7.8bn of revenue in March to reach the low-end of its 1Q12 rev guidance (NT$19.2-20.4bn). We noticed that Mediatek is pushing hard on the distributors’ side.
* Meanwhile, we notice it is too early to tell if its smart phone IC shipments will reach 15m units (even its MT 6575 is getting spotlight now) in 2Q12, up from 6-8m unit shipment expectations in 1Q12. We note that its 6-8m unit shipments of 1Q12 would be on the back of bunches of design-in models (not end-market demand request). We notice Mediatek started selling into 6 of the top 8 local brands (except for Xiaomi and Huawei) in China in 1Q12, and is likely get into Motorola in 2Q12. In short, we believe it makes more sense to wait until we see the strong demand pick up in end-demand side in March-April.
* We notice its share price has been up now on the back of 1) Nokia orders, 2) short borrowing limitations, and 3) the WCDMA smart phone of MT 6575 story. However its 2G handset IC shipments for Nokia will probably not realized untill 4Q12 (GM not exciting surely). And its EPS in 1Q12 is likely to come in below expectations at around NT$2.2 around. With the recent run-up in the share price, we suggest that investors to wait before entering Mediatek.
Action:
With the recent run-up in the share price, we suggest that investors wait before entering Mediatek, as the news flow gradually comes out. We maintain our target price at NT$ 318.

Android紅了 聯發科還魂丹
2.75G晶片獲聯想等定單 美林估明年(2011)EPS 41.5元
2010年 09月15日 蘋果日報
【張家豪╱台北報導】Android熱潮延燒至中國白牌手機市場,聯發科(2454)可望起死回生!美銀美林證券昨日指出,聯發科第3季將推出2.75G的Android晶片,目前已獲聯想等當地品牌業者定單,下半年業績將重拾成長力道,一掃3G(3rd Generation,第3代行動通訊)晶片進展不順的怨氣。
需求爆發
看好Android晶片的爆發力下,美銀美林上修了聯發科第3、4季獲利各14%和2.3%,每股稅後純益上看7.2、7.9元,全年調升3.2%,到33.72元;另外,明年獲利也微調2.1%到41.5元,並且將目標價從540元調升到620元。
受中國白牌手機青睞
美銀美林證券半導體分析師何浩銘(Daniel Heyler)表示,中國白牌手機市場近來也掀起一股Android熱潮,一堆仿宏達電(2498)Hero的手機紛紛問市,每支售價約1500元人民幣,只有高階品牌的一半價格。
中國消費者渴望具簡易掛網功能的低價智慧型手機,但國際品牌包括:宏達電、三星(SAMSUNG)、諾基亞(NOKIA)等,都強打全功能的智慧型機種,且價格高不可攀。Google的Android開放式平台問市,恰巧提供聯發科一展長才的機會。
明年營運重拾新動力
何浩銘指出,聯發科第3季將會推出MT6235、MT6516晶片,支援2.75G、Android作業系統、500萬畫素照相和觸控功能,鎖定低價的智慧型手機市場,售價落在700~1000元人民幣,並且預先載入最受歡迎的Android應用程式。
聯想等中國品牌業者,目前已推出採用聯發科2.75G晶片的低價智慧型手機。他認為,聯發科過去在2G市場開拓相當成功,Android晶片同樣可以成功複雜山寨經驗,為下半年和明年營運重拾新動力。
挹注明年營收增16%
何浩銘表示,聯發科最壞情況已過。而由於手機晶片的ASP(Average Sales Price,平均銷售價格)均是整體ASP的3~4倍,因Android晶片推出,以及存貨觸抵新高、營業利益落底、系統單晶片能見度改善、中國手機市場買氣回溫等因素,有助於ASP走穩,並挹注明年營收成長16%。
他強調,市場焦點過度集中在展訊、晨星等競爭對手的價格打壓,以及3G晶片進展不順,但完全忽略了Android的爆發力。因此,現在正是逢低買進聯發科的好時機,建議客戶將資金由台積電(2330)等晶圓代工、封測轉進聯發科。
