COGO Group: Großer Profiteur des Tablet-Erfolges

100 gegen Apple. Die iPad-Konkurrenz gewinnt Marktanteile. Großer Profiteur des Tablet-Erfolges ist dieser chinesische Technologie-Spezialist. Ob zum Zeitung lesen, Videos gucken, Spielen oder auf dem Sofa surfen – Touchscreen-Rechner werden immer beliebter. Zumal es endlich Alternativen zum teueren iPad gibt. Die Verkäufe solcher Android-Tablets stiegen im vierten Quartal 2010 bereits auf 2,3 Millionen gegenüber 0,1 Millionen im dritten Quartal. Der Android-Anteil schnellte zulasten Apples iPad innerhalb eines Quartals von 2,3 auf 21,6 Prozent. Und richtig rund geht es 2011: Auf der Consumer Electronics Show (CES) wurden bereits über 100 meist auf dem Betriebssystem Android basierende Tablet-Modelle vorgestellt. „Überwältigendes Feedback". Fast jeder große Elektronikkonzern hat nun einen Touchscreen-Rechner in der Pipeline – und fast jeder lässt ihn in China herstellen. Viele Firmen nehmen dabei Hilfe des chinesischen Technologie- Spezialisten Cogo Group in Anspruch. Der Vermittler und Designer von Komponenten wie Drahtlos-Übertragungs- und Kontroll-Systemen ist selbst überrascht vom Boom der neuen Tablets. „Mehrere Kunden von uns haben Tablets auf der CES präsentiert und überwältigendes Feedback erhalten. Die Dynamik im Tablet-Markt übertrifft unsere optimistischsten Erwartungen“, so Cogo-Chef Jeffrey Kang. Diese positive Entwicklung dürfte sich unmittelbar auf die Gewinnentwicklung von Cogo auswirken. Zumal Technologie-Komponenten für Tablets einen deutlich höheren Preis erzielen als Smartphone-Teile, welche Cogo ebenfalls anbietet. Daneben ist der Spezialist Partner von globalen Elektronikfi rmen für die China-Produktion von Smart-Grid- und TV-Produkten. Die vorgelegten Zahlen zum vierten Quartal können sich sehen lassen. Die Umsätze legten um 30 Prozent auf 114 Millionen Dollar und der Gewinn leicht auf 4,6 Millionen Dollar zu. Bemerkenswert ist der Ausblick. Aufgrund der „gewaltigen Möglichkeiten“ will Cogo den Umsatz „in einigen Jahren“ auf eine Milliarde Dollar mehr als verdoppeln. Große Chancen Der Tablet-Boom eröffnet Cogo große Chancen. Da der Chart-Ausbruch geglückt ist und das KGV bei günstigen 8 liegt, scheinen Kurszuwächse vorprogrammiert.

Während die Gesellschaft die Fersen des starken Wachstums in China reitet, bleiben wir betroffen um einige Probleme, denen die Gesellschaft gegenübersteht. Erstens ist der chinesische Markt an mehr als 10 % jährlichem BIP-Wachstum seit den letzten mehreren Jahren gewachsen, und wir werden besorgt, dass die Wirtschaft einer Verlangsamung in der nahen Frist gegenüberstehen kann.

 bin gespannt wie es morgen läuft?

Currently, the Addressable Market for Cogo is focused almost exclusively on domestic automobile vendors. International vendors perform most of their design work outside of China and only handle auto assembly within the country. However, as local auto brands gain share over time, it is expected that international vendors will begin to shift more design work to China in order to speed time to market and reduce overall costs. Consequently, Cogo expects key international auto vendors will begin to utilize Cogo's customizable design work in the near future in order to compete with the lower overall cost structure and faster product cycle times of the key domestic vendors


Jeffrey Kang, CEO of Cogo, said, "I am pleased to announce Great Wall as our fourth named auto customer and I expect to add more customers over the coming months. The Chinese auto market is already the largest in the world and is estimated to grow a further 10-15% in 2011. This strong industry growth is the result of a series of demographic trends and the expectations of domestic auto vendors gaining share. Additionally, I believe that our content per automobile will grow over time."


Kang continued, "Our recent success in adding new auto customers and increasing our auto revenue is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe autos are one of Cogo's most favorable end markets. When Cogo reaches $1 billion in total annual revenue, I would expect our auto business will be in the range of $100 million in revenue. "


"As we have indicated in our previous press release on March 1, our first quarter business revenue is tracking better than expected, with particular strength in our Industrials segment. Additionally, the tragedy in Japan has thus far not affected any order patterns from our customers and our supply chain has not been materially disrupted."
