中国铁塔(0788.HK)5G规模建设叠加共享率提升基建执牛耳率先受益给予“增持”评级
机构:国信证券
评级:增持
公司在国内行业处于垄断地位,旨在实现共建共享
公司是全球规模最大的通信铁塔基础设施供应商,目前公司管理的站址规模达到196.75万个(全球份额为44.43%),以收入计的国内市场份额为97.3%,处于垄断地位。铁塔行业是重资产行业,公司核心资产是向三大运营商收购的存量铁塔和新建铁塔,管理团队也多数具备国内三大运营商工作背景。
铁塔业务现金流稳定,跨行业应用发展迅速公司三大业务包括塔类业务(宏站业务、微站业务)、室分业务和跨行业站址应用与信息服务。塔类业务4G末期发展平稳,将受益于5G投资需求和物联网部署加速增长;室分和跨行业业务基数较小,营收占比不足5%,发展迅猛。盈利模式上,公司收入以租户数为驱动,扩大收入的两种途径分别是扩大站址规模和提高站均租户数(提高共享率)。公司核心成本是折旧和场地租金。5G铁塔前期有较大比例与4G共址,未来三年资本开支压力有望缓解,带动净利率的提升。上下游方面,公司相对上游议价能力高,下游的运营商客户贡献99%以上的收入,由于客户关系稳定且支付能力强,能带来稳定的现金流入。
国内外铁塔公司竞争格局与经营模式对比
全球大部分铁塔集中在中国、美国和印度等国家的铁塔公司,均呈现出一超多强的格局。美国的铁塔公司多为第三方独立铁塔,主要通过海外收购扩张规模,且运营商客户数较多,单塔租户数有较大提升空间;印度的铁塔公司与国内类似,以运营商主导的铁塔公司为主,近两年整合趋势明显。中国共享铁塔制度刚推行不久,未来几年提升共享率是公司塔类业务成长的核心驱动力。公司站址规模具备绝对优势,在网络建设效率上具备优势,竞争压力较小。
风险提示:
5G建设投资进度不及预期;运营商压价;新业务拓展速度不及预期
