Stepping Up Globalization Efforts
发布时间:2026-04-21 来源:华泰证券
Sinoseal Holding has released its annual report, achieving revenue of RMB1.77bn for 2025 (up by 12.91% YoY), an attributable NP of RMB385mn (down by 1.80% YoY), and a recurring NP of RMB366mn (up by 0.09% YoY). For 4Q25, revenue was RMB485mn (up by 14.58% YoY, up by 13.98% QoQ), and the attributable NP was RMB107mn (down by 11.84% YoY, up by 18.01% QoQ). The profit decline was mainly due to share-based payment amortization—excluding this impact, the attributable NP would have been RMB415mn (up 5.40% YoY). For 2025, the attributable NP was slightly below our previous forecast (RMB427mn), primarily due to tepid downstream demand and the consolidation of KS GmbH, which has lower gross margins, leading to weaker profitability than we expected. However, we remain positive on the company’s active expansion into overseas growth markets and its competitive advantages in the domestic market, anticipating stable growth ahead. Maintain BUY.
GPM slightly constrained, with sound expense control
For 2025, the company’s GPM was 45.58% (down by 2.76pp YoY), mainly due to slight margin declines in incremental businesses within the mechanical seal segment and the consolidation of KS GmbH, which has relatively lower margins, in the rubber and plastic seal segment. For 4Q25, the GPM was 49.74% (-0.59pp YoY, +5.78pp QoQ). Regarding expense ratios, the 2025 sales/administrative/ financial/R&D expense ratios were 8.62/6.86/-0.45/5.08% (-0.44/+0.32/-0.27/ +0.24pp YoY). The overall expense ratio was 20.10% (-0.15pp YoY), reflecting effective cost control.
Domestic market share rising; actively expanding overseas market
1) In the domestic market, although large-scale integrated refining and chemical projects remained scarce in 2025, the company strengthened its industry leadership position and further increased market share. The coal chemical industry, especially new projects in Xinjiang, saw accelerated development, bringing new market opportunities. Additionally, in 2025, the company supported multiple CCUS projects, including those for PetroChina Xinjiang Oilfield, Tarim Petrochemical, and Huadian Mulei, achieving sustained strides in the new energy sector. 2) In the international market, the company completed supplier qualification approvals for multiple clients in regions/countries such as the Middle East, Europe, and South Korea in 2025, with international revenue from the mechanical seal segment reaching nearly RMB240mn (up ~20% YoY). The company has decided to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on international markets to enhance global business expansion and project execution capabilities. Meanwhile, its Vietnam maintenance center commenced operations in 2025, with additional centers in the Middle East and Indonesia scheduled to launch in 2026, further improving international service capabilities. The company continues to pursue its internationalization strategy, with overseas revenue poised to grow further.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering that downstream petrochemical capex has yet to recover, we lower our 2026/2027 attributable NP forecasts to RMB424/470mn (adjusted down by 13.65/16.28% from our prior estimates) and introduce our new 2028 attributable NP forecast of RMB521mn, with EPS of RMB2.04/2.26/2.51. Given the company’s active expansion into overseas incremental markets with potential for further breakthroughs, we value the stock at 24x 2026E PE, on par with its peers’ average on iFind consensus. We raise our target price to RMB48.21 (previous: RMB47.20 on 20x 2026E PE).
Risks: lower downstream demand than we expect; slow post-acquisition integration.
