Summary of the Conference Call for 联特科技 Company Overview - 联特科技 was established in 2011, primarily engaged in the research and production of optical modules. The company's development can be divided into three phases: - Phase 1: Focused on low-speed long-distance wavelength division multiplexing products and entered the international market. - Phase 2 (2014-2020): Expanded to domestic and international medium to large telecom clients, developing optical modules ranging from 10G to 400G. - Phase 3 (2020-present): Post-IPO, the company is advancing the research and small-scale production of 800G and 1.6T optical modules while establishing a production base in Malaysia [3][4]. Product Launches - In 2024, 联特科技 launched the 800G optical module in March and the 1.6T solution in September, with 800G achieving small-scale production. Various models of 800G and 1.6T products were showcased at the OCP exhibition in October, demonstrating their performance and stability [5]. Industry Trends - The core market of the optical module industry is currently focused on 800G, with demand expected to double in 2025 compared to 2024. Significant progress for 1.6T optical modules is not anticipated until the third or fourth quarter of 2025, providing a longer window for the 800G market [6]. R&D Investment - From 2019 to 2023, 联特科技 significantly increased its R&D investment, with the number of R&D personnel rising from 85 to 172 and R&D expenditure increasing from 26 million yuan to 57 million yuan. This has enhanced the company's competitiveness in optical chips, integrated optical devices, and optical module design and production [7]. Financial Performance - In the first three quarters of 2024, 联特科技 achieved revenue of 643 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 46%, with a net profit attributable to shareholders of 62 million yuan, driven by a substantial increase in high-speed optical module orders [8]. Future Profit Forecast - Revenue projections for 联特科技 from 2024 to 2026 are 847 million yuan, 1.036 billion yuan, and 1.235 billion yuan, respectively. Net profits are expected to be 97 million yuan, 129 million yuan, and 166 million yuan. The current valuation is high, with a projected P/E ratio of approximately 100 times in 2024 and 80 times in 2025 [9]. Recommendations for Other Companies - Recommendations for companies like 华工科技 are based on several factors: - Their significant position in the competitive landscape. - Entry into the overseas supply chain, including the demonstration phase of high-speed optical module production in Thailand. - Growth in domestic AI industry demand. - The rapid transition from 200G to 400G and then to 800G, with a relatively longer window for 800G to 1.6T, providing opportunities for these companies [10].
