history management’s guidance of 1Q13 NB shipments (-20-25% QoQ) is too
conservative and think the street is still underestimating its success in
producing more high-margin touch NBs for brand clients to improve its
product mix. This explains how Pegatron can still maintain its OPM from the
NB business above the breakeven point despite its slowing shipments.
Rising EPS upside risks from Casetek: Pegatron still owns ~69% of
Casetek shares post its IPO. Hence, Casetek’s strong earnings momentum
will continue to support Pegatron’s EPS growth going forward. We also
believe Pegatron’s management may consider selling some of its holdings to
