Tianshan Material’s(Tianshan)2025 revenue was RMB74,496mn(-14.40%YoY);the attributable net loss was RMB-7,291mn(vs RMB-717mn in 2024),approaching the wider end of the loss range given in the company’s results preview alert(RMB6,000-7,500mn);the recurring attributable net loss was RMB-8,151mn(vs RMB-2,262mn in 2024).We attribute the heavy losses to asset and credit impairment provisions of RMB6,405mn for the full year.For 4Q25,revenue was RMB19,558mn(-23.43%YoY,+3.17%QoQ).As acement leader with awell-established nationwide business network,Tianshan could in our view kick off arobust start after charging substantial impairment provisions.However,accounting for the company’s sizeable interest-bearing debts and potential impairment risks,we downgrade our rating to OVERWEIGHT.
Domestic cement/RMC/aggregate prices under pressure
Based on data in the 2025 annual report,we estimate the company’s 2025 cement and clinker sales volume at 197mn tonnes(-12.3%YoY,a sharper drop than the national cement output decline of-6.9%,reflecting the company's efforts to actively maintain industry supply discipline amid ademand downcycle).We project the company’s 2025 average cement&clinker price at cRMB235/tonne(-RMB12 YoY),but the per-tonne gross profit rose by RMB0.1 YoY to RMB39,mainly benefiting from lower coal prices and the company’s cost reduction/efficiency improvement measures.Tianshan’s 2025 ready-mix concrete(RMC)sales volume was 73.22mn cbm(-3.52%YoY,a milder drop than the national decline of-8.7%);revenue fell by 10.99%YoY to RMB20,929mn but the GPM rose by 2.71pp YoY to 15.80%.For 2025,aggregate sales volume was 127mn tonnes(-2.97%YoY,a smaller drop than the national decline of-8.9%);revenue was RMB4,295mn(-9.69%YoY)and the GPM fell by 4.33pp YoY to 32.88%amid intense competition.
Overseas revenue grew rapidly
In 2025,Tianshan’s overseas arm delivered notable outcomes.Overseas subsidiaries sold 2.78mn tonnes of cement&clinker(+91%YoY)and 2.70mn tonnes of aggregate(+207%YoY).For 2025,overseas revenue was RMB1,647mn(+95.93%YoY),with the total profit growing by 136.71%YoY.The overseas GPM was 40.30%,higher than the domestic level of 17.44%.By acquiring its Tunisia project,launching the Kazakhstan greenfield project,and piloting asset-light operations in Zimbabwe,Tianshan made new breakthroughs in its overseas cement business and enhanced its global competitiveness.As of end-2025,it had 2.79mn tonnes of clinker capacity and 3.60mn tonnes of aggregate capacity overseas.We expect the company to continue intensifying overseas M&A efforts and increasing investment during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering significant energy cost increases since the beginning of the year,we lower our assumptions for cement and clinker sales volume and per-tonne gross profit.As accounts receivable and goodwill assets remained above RMB50bn at end-2025,we raise our credit and asset impairment forecasts.We now project 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit at RMB74/448/1,179mn(-95/-77%vs our previous 2026/2027 estimates).We estimate 2026 BVPS at RMB10.60,and value the stock at 0.51x 2026E PB,a 35%discount to its average PB of 0.79x since 4Q21.Our target price is RMB5.41(previous:RMB7.94,based on 0.67x 2026E PB,a 16%discount to its then average of 0.80x;our larger discount mainly reflects aslower profit recovery than we expected).
Risks:weaker execution of off-peak production;less effective control over cement&clinker over-production;large asset/credit impairments exceeding our expectations.
