Xinqianglian announced 1Q26 results:revenue reached RMB886mn,down 4.31%YoY and 12.23%QoQ;attributable NP was RMB150mn,down 12.25%YoY and 3.07%QoQ;recurring NP came in at RMB159mn,up 27.69%YoY and 22.53%QoQ.The YoY and QoQ improvement in 1Q26 recurring NP was driven by an increased share of TRB main bearing shipments,in our view.We see TRB penetration continuing to rise.As aleading wind power bearing player,the company enjoys aclear first-mover advantage and is also expanding into gearbox bearings,which should sustain its earnings alpha,in our view.Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
1Q26 GPM improved YoY and QoQ
1Q26 revenue declined YoY,mainly due to ahigh base from rushed installations in 1Q25.As of end-1Q26,the company's inventory stood at RMB1.58bn,a 53.9%YoY increase,which should,in our view,underpin strong subsequent delivery momentum.1Q26 gross margin was 28.9%,up 2.2pp YoY and 4.0pp QoQ,which we believe was driven by an increased share of TRB main bearing shipments.The company is advancing cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives while strengthening cash flow management.1Q26 expense ratio was 8.2%,down 1.9pp YoY,with administrative/financial expense ratios at 2.1/2.1%,down 1.0/1.0pp YoY.Operating cash inflow was RMB200mn,up 93.8%YoY.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Given that component price negotiations are nearing completion,we expect main bearing prices to remain flat,and we adjust our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit forecast to RMB1,208/1,439/1,597mn(down 5.81/3.98/2.04%from previous estimates),corresponding to EPS of RMB2.92/3.48/3.86.Based on the 2026E average PE of domestic and international peers as of the close of 28 April 2026(15x from iFind and 37x from Visible Alpha),and given the company’s clear first-mover edge in TRB bearings and its leading role in gearbox bearing import substitution in China—which we believe will drive earnings alpha—we assign a2026E PE of 19x,yielding atarget price of RMB55.48(previous:RMB62,based on 2026E 20x PE,mainly due to lower peer valuations).Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:Volatility in raw material costs,product price fluctuations,slower market development than we expect,actual results may differ from our estimates.
