Company Report

Semco Earnings: MLCC Capacity Utilization Is Bottoming out, Driven by Solid Non-IT Applications

Samsung Electro-Mechanics posted an operating income of KRW 180 billion for the March quarter, up 29% year on year and above our forecast of KRW 155 billion, driven by better-than-expected sales of multilayer ceramic capacitors and camera modules. While sales of the components division (mainly MLCC) were only 3% above our forecast, we estimate that the profitability was much better than we expected due to an improved product mix from solid sales to the industrial and automotive sectors. The optics & communication solutions division sales were up 47% year on year and 20% higher than our forecast due to better average selling prices and better shipments of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S24.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Semco will be one of the beneficiaries of the increasing high-end MLCC demand from the smartphone, auto, and information infrastructure industries.

Bears

Competition with Taiwanese and Chinese suppliers may intensify as the technological gap narrows, and Semco may struggle from the price decline of MLCCs.
