龙磁科技(300835):高端铁氧体永磁龙头 AI芯片电感和车载电感新星

Core Viewpoint - The company is poised to become a rising star in AI chip inductors and automotive inductors, entering a rapid growth phase. It is a rare producer of high-performance ferrite permanent magnets and soft magnetic materials, with production capacity expected to expand from 45,000 tons to 60,000 tons, surpassing Japan's TDK, the current largest player in the market. The global industry is pursuing high-performance ferrite composite materials as a substitute for rare earth permanent magnets, with some companies already achieving this transition. The company's overseas high-performance ferrite products are in high demand, leading to both volume and price increases [1]. Group 1: High-Performance Ferrite Permanent Magnets - The company is a rare producer of high-performance ferrite permanent magnets, with production capacity expected to reach 45,000 tons per year by the end of 2024, with a planned gradual expansion to 60,000 tons per year, surpassing TDK. The proportion of high-performance products with more than nine materials is continuously increasing, and the laboratory has completed 15 material products, achieving a globally leading level. The company is one of the few with overseas ferrite permanent magnet production bases, benefiting from the global shortage of rare earth magnetic materials and cost reduction needs, leading to rapid growth in both volume and price [2][3]. Group 2: Soft Magnetic Business Expansion - The company is accelerating its layout in the soft magnetic sector, developing a comprehensive soft magnetic supply chain that includes soft magnetic powder, magnetic powder cores, and inductors. It has established production lines for metal soft magnetic and ferrite soft magnetic products in Anhui and is now part of the supply chain for leading domestic and international new energy vehicle companies. The company is building an 8,000 tons per year soft magnetic base in Thailand, leveraging regional advantages to support overseas customers, and plans to construct a 10,000 tons per year soft magnetic project in Anhui, with total soft magnetic capacity expected to exceed 25,000 tons per year upon completion [3]. Group 3: AI Chip Inductors and Automotive Inductors - The company has made significant breakthroughs in chip inductors, entering the supply chain of internationally renowned semiconductor companies and beginning shipments, marking a transition from 0 to 1 in AI chip inductors. With the rapid development of AI computing power, the demand for small, high-power chip inductors is growing quickly, and the company's chip inductor business is expected to expand significantly. Additionally, the company is making strides in automotive inductors, entering the supply chains of overseas companies, and its inductor business is poised for accelerated growth. The integrated supply chain of soft magnetic powder, soft magnetic powder cores, and chip/automotive inductors has taken shape, showcasing significant collaborative advantages and promising growth potential [4]. Group 4: Financial Projections - The company is projected to achieve revenues of 1.64 billion, 2.19 billion, and 2.97 billion yuan from 2025 to 2027, with net profits attributable to the parent company expected to be 210 million, 350 million, and 510 million yuan, corresponding to price-to-earnings ratios of 28, 17, and 12 times, respectively, indicating a "buy" rating [4].
