Earnings forecasts and valuation
We expect the company to deliver attributable NPs of RMB752mn,RMB848mn,and RMB913mn for 2026,2027,and 2028,which are revisions of+19%,+25%,and-,respectively,versus our previous estimates.We project 2026E EPS at RMB1.73.We mainly revise up our forecasts because the 2025 asset-impairment losses were below our expectations.Considering the status of the company’s projects under construction and in preparation,we also revise up our capacity forecasts for MSW incineration projects and kitchen waste projects.Based on 14.4x 2026E PE,which is in line with the average 2026E PE of comparable companies on Wind consensus,our target price is RMB24.91(previously RMB21.39,on 15.5x 2025E PE).
Risks:Receivables collections fall short of our expectations,progress in lithium battery recycling and disposal misses our expectations,and customer expansion in the rubber recycling business is below our expectations.
