Junxin Environmental Protection's(Junxin)2025 revenue was RMB2,748mn(+13.05%YoY)and attributable net profit was RMB717mn(+33.62%YoY),with the latter slightly missing our estimate of RMB785mn on amarginally higher minority interest proportion than we expected.For 4Q25,revenue was RMB585mn(-13.38%YoY,-14.71%QoQ)and attributable net profit was RMB111mn(-13.86%YoY,-45.76%QoQ).Junxin is actively expanding in domestic and overseas markets:it is the first-ranked candidate in the bidding for Changsha Hexi household waste-to-energy(WTE)project,and has signed multiple WTE projects overseas,positioning its earnings for continued growth.Since its listing,Junxin has maintained high dividend payouts and attached importance to shareholder returns,which could in our view catalyze avalue re-rating.Maintain BUY.
Consolidating Renhe contributed to earnings growth
As the commissioning of Pingjiang and Liuyang projects added capacity,in 2025,houehold waste treatment volume was 3,782.8k tonnes(+14.1%YoY),on-grid power output was 1,839mn kWh(+24.8%YoY),and on-grid power output per tonne of waste was 486.26kWh(+5.7%YoY).On 27 November 2024,Renhe Environmental Technology(Renhe)became Junxin's stake-controlling subsidiary.In 2025,its first full year of consolidation,Renhe's household waste transfer volume was 3,250.8k tonnes,kitchen waste treatment volume was 415,700 tonnes,and industrial-grade mixed oil sales volume was 30,700 tonnes,contributing cRMB225mn to attributable net profit.In addition,the company actively expanded in domestic and overseas markets.1)Domestically,on 30 March 2026,Junxin announced that it is the first-ranked candidate in the bidding for Changsha Hexi household WTE project(capacity:4,000 tonnes/day).2)Overseas,since 2025,Junxin has made progress in four Central Asian WTE projects(Kyrgyzstan Almaty/Bishkek/Osh/Issyk-Kul),involving atotal treatment capacity of c9,000 tonnes/day.Among them,the first phase of the Bishkek project(capacity:1,000 tonnes/day)came on line in December 2025,marking the company's first commissioned WTE project in Central Asia.
Net operating cash flow rose by 75%YoY in 2025
For 2025,net operating cash flow was RMB1.70bn(+75%YoY after consolidating Renhe);capex was RMB600mn(-35%YoY),mainly as investment declined YoY after the completion of Pingjiang and Liuyang projects;free cash flow was RMB1.10bn,rising notably YoY vs RMB50mn in 2024.Since its listing,the company has maintained high dividend payouts.From 2022 to 2024,its dividend per share was RMB0.90 each year,with payout ratios all above 70%.In 2025,the dividend per share was RMB0.653,with adividend yield of 4.2%(calculated based on the closing price on 2April 2026)and apayout ratio of 70.7%.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We fine-tune our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit estimates by+0.1%/+1.6%/-to RMB840/890/960mn,implying 2026E EPS of RMB1.06.Our revisions reflect trimmed assumptions based on alower construction-period service revenue than we expected in 2025 and increased assumptions for on-grid power output per tonne of waste/minority interest proportion based on their higher levels than we expected.We value the stock at 17.2x 2026E PE,an unchanged premium over its peers'average of 13.2x on Wind consensus,to factor in the company's high-quality assets,leading on-grid power output per tonne of waste,2022-2025 dividend payout ratios all above 70%,and growth potential unleashed by M&A/overseas expansion.Our target price is RMB18.21(previous:RMB19.21,based on 19.4x 2025E PE).
Risks:uncertainties in overseas projects'progress and profitability;a weaker synergy with Renhe than we expect;reductions or cancellations of tariff subsidies;slower payment collections than we expect.
