IPO日报·2025-06-19 12:16Core Viewpoint - BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as "BOE") announced plans to acquire a 30% stake in Xianyang Rainbow Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Rainbow Optoelectronics") for a base price of 4.849 billion yuan, funded by self-raised capital. This transaction is significant for the consolidation of China's display panel industry and may accelerate the integration of LCD capacity and price order reconstruction in the short term [1]. Group 1 - Rainbow Optoelectronics, established in 2015, primarily engages in the production of TFT-LCD panels and modules, operating the LCD 8.6 generation line of Rainbow Shares. The G8.6 generation line is crucial for manufacturing large-size display panels, such as TVs and monitors [3]. - As of December 31, 2024, Rainbow Optoelectronics has total assets of 25.193 billion yuan and net assets of 15.868 billion yuan, with projected revenue of 10.291 billion yuan and net profit of 1.339 billion yuan for 2024. The company's total equity valuation is 16.812 billion yuan, reflecting a 3.46% increase [3]. - The sale of shares may provide significant funding for Rainbow Shares' glass substrate business, which is currently a key revenue contributor, generating 10.21 billion yuan in 2024, accounting for 87.49% of total revenue [3][4]. Group 2 - Rainbow Shares has shifted its strategic focus towards the glass substrate business, which has seen over 20% growth in 2024, despite the lower revenue contribution compared to LCD panels. The company has established 13 production lines with an annual capacity of 51 million square meters, holding over 30% market share domestically [4]. - The acquisition of Rainbow's LCD 8.6 generation line will enhance BOE's production capacity, particularly in the large-size panel segment, addressing its current shortfall in producing 100-inch panels. The VA technology used in Rainbow's 8.6 generation line offers advantages in contrast and viewing angles compared to BOE's mainstream IPS technology [6]. - If the acquisition is successful, the market share of the top three panel manufacturers is expected to increase from over 60% to more than 70%, leading to greater price stability and reduced cyclical volatility in the industry [6].
