Hangyang’s 2025 revenue was RMB15,083mn(+9.96%YoY),the attributable net profit was RMB949mn(+2.87%YoY),and the recurring net profit was RMB910mn(+5.68%YoY).For 4Q25,revenue was RMB3,654mn(+8.64%YoY,-10.89%QoQ)and the attributable net profit was RMB192mn(-22.46%YoY,-31.11%QoQ).The company’s 2025 attributable net profit was slightly below our previous estimate of RMB1,055mn,mainly as gas prices have yet to recover further.Hangyang,a leading large-scale air separation equipment manufacturer and industrial gas supplier in China,could in our view benefit from gas price rebounds and shape asecond earnings growth driver in emerging application scenarios such as controlled nuclear fusion.We think that its earnings could continue to grow.Maintain BUY.
Core business revenue and GPM grew robustly
By segment,in 2025,equipment sales/gas revenues were RMB5,441/9,207mn(+7.43/+13.66%YoY);the equipment manufacturing/gas GPMs were 27.86/16.45%(+0.15/+0.28pp YoY).Looking ahead,we expect the gas segment’s GPM to trend upward alongside sales volume and price rises driven by improved end-market gas demand.For 2025,the overall expense ratio was 10.74%(-0.32pp YoY);specifically,the sales expense ratio was 1.37%(+0.02pp YoY),the administrative expense ratio was 5.50%(-0.09pp YoY),the R&D expense ratio was 3.01%(-0.27pp YoY),and the financial expense ratio was 0.87%(+0.03pp YoY).
Expanding strategic initiatives&shaping new growth drivers
Strategically,Hangyang is deepening its gas value chain.For basic gases,pipeline gas projects were deployed,with newly-commissioned projects adding total oxygen production capacity of c430,000 Nm3/h.Liquid sales volume exceeded 3.6mn tonnes(+27.66%YoY),and the company signed nine new projects.Among diversified emerging segments,gas categories expanded to rare gases,electronic gases,hydrogen and medical gases.The company has entered high-end sectors such as semiconductors.In the equipment segment,Hangyang has demonstrated world-leading R&D and manufacturing of extra-large air separation equipment.Leveraging its extensive cryogenic technology expertise,it is expanding into sectors with high technical thresholds and high value added.It has achieved breakthroughs in high-end equipment while accelerating controlled nuclear fusion pipelines to shape asecond earnings growth driver.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
To factor in gas price fluctuations,we lower our earnings forecasts.We now project 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit at RMB1,118/1,392/1,758mn(-18.74/-19.35%vs our previous estimates for 2026/2027),with EPS of RMB1.14/1.42/1.80.We value the stock at 34x 2026E PE,in line with its peers’average on iFind consensus.To align with its peers’higher valuation multiples,we update our target price to RMB38.76(previous:RMB33.48,based on 31x 2025E PE).
Risks:gas price declines;slower factory commissioning than we expect;weaker expansion in new businesses than we expect.
