In 2023, Yinghe Technology's e-cigarette business achieved rapid growth, with operating income reaching 3.341 billion yuan (470 Million USD), accounting for 34% of the company's total operating income.
The e-cigarette products offered by Sikary's subsidiary have gained wide popularity among European users due to their rich flavors and high quality. Particularly, the SKE brand has shown outstanding performance in the UK market, with its market share continuously soaring. Sikary has achieved groundbreaking developments in its brand operations in the UK and other European countries. By August 2023, SKE's market share in the UK had risen to third place.
Yinghe Technology has over 5000 employees and has established a branch factory in Shajing, with a manufacturing base of over 20,000 square meters, ensuring high-quality product output with a monthly shipment volume of over 20 million units. On September 21, 2022, the company's subsidiary e-cigarette company, Sikary, obtained a tobacco monopoly production enterprise license, which will help seize industrial development opportunities and further expand and layout the new tobacco market both domestically and overseas.
The company is actively expanding into overseas markets, especially in the UK where it has established a wholly-owned subsidiary to expedite the TPD certification of new products and increase market share.
Although the e-cigarette industry is rapidly growing, the company has also highlighted potential policy risks, as the new tobacco industry is still in its early stages of development and policy changes domestically and internationally may impact business growth.
Yinghe Technology receives its first "buy" rating, with expectations of continued growth in net profits in the coming years, benefiting from developments in new technologies and expansion into overseas markets.
In summary, Zhongtai Securities stated that Yinghe Technology's e-cigarette business has gained a foothold in the global market through continuous product innovation and market expansion, demonstrating good market competitiveness and growth potential. At the same time, the company is actively addressing potential policy and market risks to maintain the sustainable and healthy development of its business.
