The company has abroad business portfolio,with coordinated development across housing construction,municipal works,and industrial parks.Meanwhile,it has achieved steady revenue growth in maintenance and accelerating expansion in emerging businesses such as wind power&energy storage,water conservancy,facility agriculture,and environmental protection.Overseas expansion is also picking up pace.Contract wins reached RMB104.0bn in 2025,up 13.7%YoY,including RMB16.8bn from overseas,up 84%YoY.In 1H26,contract wins totaled RMB49.8bn,with 2Q26 wins of RMB30.4bn,up 34.5%YoY.The order backlog stood at RMB124.6bn as of end-2Q26,up 15.1%YoY,or 1.82x 2025 revenue.We believe this provides ample order coverage to support future revenue recognition.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We maintain our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit forecasts at RMB2,068/2,055/2,077mn.Comparable companies trade at an average 2026E PE of 7x on Wind consensus.Given the company is still transitioning toward adiversified business mix and its revenue structure needs time to be adjusted,we maintain a6x 2026E PE and our target price of RMB7.98.
Risks:weaker effect of pro-growth measures than we expect,slower order conversion than we expect.
