Hazardous Waste Treatment GPM Recovery Boosted 1H26 Profit
发布时间:2026-09-15 来源:华泰证券
For 1H26, revenue was RMB13,440mn (+26.28% YoY), attributable net profit (NP) was RMB1,356mn (+139.45% YoY), in line with the profit alert range of RMB1,250-1,450mn, and recurring NP was RMB1,252mn (+194.89% YoY). For 2Q26, revenue was RMB7,257mn (+27.21% YoY, +17.38% QoQ), and attributable NP was RMB753mn (+155.09% YoY, +25.09% QoQ). The strong YoY earnings growth was mainly driven by GPM recovery in the hazardous waste recycling business. GPM recovery in hazardous waste recycling, normalized nuclear power approvals and faster pumped-storage construction should support the company’s earnings growth. Maintain BUY.
Core business: 1H26 revenue grew YoY
The company focuses on harmless treatment and resource recycling of hazardous waste, as well as clean energy equipment. For 1H26, revenue from clean energy equipment/hazardous waste recycling increased by 6.32/27.40% YoY to RMB654/12,739mn, while GPM changed by -11.36/+6.04pp YoY to 33.31/15.59%. For 1H26, the company’s overall GPM rose by 5.01pp YoY to 16.73%, mainly as the hazardous waste recycling business, which accounted for 94.8% of revenue, saw YoY GPM improvement. We are upbeat on GPM recovery in hazardous waste recycling, normalized nuclear power approvals and faster pumped-storage construction as drivers of the company’s earnings growth.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
As the GPM of hazardous waste recycling beat our expectation in 1H26, we raise our 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP forecasts by 59.7/59.0/58.4% to RMB2,143/2,393/2,659mn. We project 2026/2027/2028 EPS of RMB0.41/0.46/0.51. Considering the YoY improvement in revenue and GPM of the company's hazardous waste recycling business, as well as the potential drivers from normalized nuclear power approvals and faster pumped-storage construction, we expect to see rising net profit contribution from the clean energy equipment business. We value the stock at 19.4x 2026E PE, above its peers' average of 16.2x on Wind consensus (previous: 21.8x). Our target price is RMB7.97 (previous: RMB6.76, based on 23.4x 2026E PE). Maintain BUY.
Risks: hazardous waste volume and prices recovering more slowly than we expect, inventory and goodwill impairments, nuclear power/pumped-storage construction cycles lagging our expectations, deterioration in the competitive landscape for clean energy equipment, the company's orders or profitability falling short of our expectations.
