Beijing Lier has reported 2025 revenue of RMB6.97bn(+10.17%YoY),an attributable NP of RMB401mn(+25.86%YoY),and arecurring NP of RMB238mn(-15.88%YoY).The attributable net profit exceeded our previous forecast of RMB360mn,mainly because sales growth was stronger than expected,while investment income and other non-operating gains also contributed profit.For 4Q25,the company recorded revenue of RMB1.53bn(+13.96%YoY,-23.33%QoQ),while the attributable NP was RMB53.11mn(+505.14%YoY,-59.21%QoQ).Given management’s continued active investment in emerging businesses after the leadership transition,we maintain BUY.
Baogang Lier consolidation drove volume growth;ASP still under pressure
For 2025,revenues from the company’s refractory contracting,refractory direct-sales,and other direct-sales reached RMB4.19bn,RMB670mn,and RMB2.12bn,up by 8.5%,8.4%,and 14.1%YoY,respectively.Refractory product sales volume reached 1.038mn tonnes,up by 21.9%YoY.We think that the rapid volume growth was likely driven mainly by the consolidation of Baogang Lier in 2025,which added incremental sales.By our estimate,the average selling price declined by 11%YoY.Against aweak backdrop in downstream steel,cement,and glass industries,refractory prices remained under pressure.The blended gross margin was 14.21%in 2025,down by 0.21pp YoY,while the 4Q25 gross margin was 12.11%,up by 0.34pp YoY and 1.12pp QoQ.By optimizing resource allocation and extending its industrial chain,the company has built afull-life-cycle management model for refractories,strengthened supply chain control,and enhanced profitability.It has also promoted upgrading and retrofitting of refractory product capacity,bringing total refractory capacity to 1.0mn tonnes per year by year-end.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering the meaningful earnings accretion from the acquisition and consolidation,we revise our attributable NP forecasts for 2026,2027,and 2028 to RMB443mn,RMB480mn,and RMB512mn,representing adjustments of 7.67%and 7.31%for 2026 and 2027 versus our previous estimates.This corresponds to EPS of RMB0.37,RMB0.40,and RMB0.43.Based on 25x 2026E PE,in line with the average for comparable companies on Wind consensus,our target price is RMB9.29(previously RMB8.76,on 29x 2025E PE).
Risks:A sharp downturn in steel industry profitability;significant raw-material price fluctuations;and lower returns than we expect from investment activities.
