Transfar Zhilian has reported 1H26 revenue of RMB7,896mn (-35.50% YoY), an attributable net profit of RMB448mn (-11.92% YoY), and a recurring net profit of RMB405mn (+44.22% YoY). For 2Q26, revenue was RMB3,943mn (-36.54% YoY, -0.26% QoQ), with an attributable net profit of RMB182mn (-41.59% YoY, -31.27% QoQ), below our estimate of RMB308mn, due to a contraction in the online freight platform business as the company adjusted its business mix. The gross margin rose by 9.1pp YoY to 24.2%. For the logistics business, the company focuses on core highway port logistics center assets and divesting low-efficiency non-core operations, which we expect to improve earnings resilience over the medium to long term. For the chemicals business, we expect the company to sustain growth on higher share with domestic key accounts, overseas expansion, and ramp-up of differentiated butadiene rubber products.

Logistics: focusing on core logistics assets
For 1H26, logistics revenue fell by 75.5% YoY to RMB1,632mn; the gross profit fell by 14.6% YoY to RMB562mn; the gross margin rose by 24.5pp YoY to 34.4%, driven mainly by the structural shift from shrinking the low-margin online freight business. 1) Online freight revenue declined by 88.7% YoY to RMB628mn; the gross profit dropped to RMB25mn, but the gross margin rose by 2.1pp YoY to 4.0%. 2) Highway port revenue fell by 5.6% YoY to RMB580mn, with the gross profit down by 3.2% YoY to RMB478mn and the gross margin up by 2.0pp to 82.5%. Park occupancy rose by 2pp YoY to 88.2%, as refined leasing and monetization of idle assets supported earnings resilience. 3) Supply chain logistics revenue decreased by 13.3% YoY to RMB243mn, with the gross margin down by 1.6pp to 6.6%. The company added 72 new customers across chemicals, new energy, and FMCG, and advanced regional consolidation and trunk-line integration. New projects are still in the early ramp-up phase.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Given: 1) the company’s contraction of the low-margin online freight business and focus on core highway port assets and related operations, 2) the monetization of highway port assets, 3) ramp-up of new supply chain logistics projects, and 4) earnings recovery potentially taking longer than we expected, we cut our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit forecasts to RMB810/932/1,069mn (down by 7.83%/23.42%/25.78% from our prior estimates; three-year CAGR of 21.94%), with EPS of RMB0.29/0.34/0.39 and BVPS of RMB6.62/6.93/7.29. We assign a 2026E PB of 0.8x (previous: 1.0x, 1.5SD above the three-year average PB), based on the three-year average PB. The shift from premium to parity mainly reflects the 2Q earnings miss, continued pressure on logistics revenue and gross profit after the rapid contraction of online freight, and pending monetization of highway port assets and ramp-up of new supply chain logistics projects). Our target price is RMB5.30 (previous: RMB6.58). Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks: weaker logistics demand than we expect, slower cost optimization than we expect, and upstream raw-material price volatility.
