Wanwei Updated High-Tech Material(Wanwei)has reported 1Q26 revenue of RMB1.94bn(-2.8%YoY,-5.4%QoQ),an attributable NP of RMB136mn(+16.0%YoY,152%QoQ),and arecurring NP of RMB124mn(+6.3%YoY,+913%QoQ).For 1Q26,the attributable NP was broadly in line with our expectation of RMB130mn.Given the healthy competitive landscape in the PVA industry,and the volume ramp-up in products such as PVA optical film and auto-grade PVB interlayer film,we maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Higher PVA prices drove GPM expansion
For 1Q26,the company sold 65kt of PVA(+13%YoY,-12%QoQ).PVA revenue was RMB606mn(-4%YoY,-9%QoQ).Supported by higher ethylene costs,average PVA prices edged up QoQ,arriving at RMB9,358/t(-15%YoY,+4%QoQ).For 1Q26,sales volumes of PVA fiber,polyester chips,VAE emulsion,redispersible latex powder,and VAC changed by-25%,-6%,+18%,+32%,and+43%YoY,to 4.3kt,16.4kt,23.2kt,19.4kt,and 30.7kt,respectively.On aQoQ basis,the changes were+30%,-26%,-17%,-2%,and+20%.New capacity starting up improved YoY production and sales of emulsion and powder.Revenues from these products changed by-39%,-8%,+23%,+17%,and+58%YoY,to RMB57mn,RMB122mn,RMB101mn,RMB146mn,and RMB177mn,respectively.On aQoQ basis,the changes were+31%,-23%,-6%,+1%,and+38%.For new materials,the 1Q26 sales volume of PVA optical film was 2.35mn sqm(-2%YoY,+346%QoQ).Revenue from PVA optical film was RMB20mn(-28%YoY,+225%QoQ).The ASP was RMB8.3/sqm(-27%YoY,-27%QoQ).For 1Q26,PVB interlayer film sales volume was 2.0kt(+35%YoY,-40%QoQ).Revenue was RMB37mn(+16%YoY,-44%QoQ),while the ASP was RMB18,300/t(-14%YoY,-7%QoQ).Higher PVA prices for the company’s core products improved earnings QoQ for 1Q26.The blended gross margin(GPM)was 15.6%(+0.3pp YoY,+7.5pp QoQ),while the period expense ratio was 8.0%(-0.9pp YoY,-0.8pp QoQ).
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We largely maintain our previous earnings estimates for 2026-2027.We expect attributable NP to reach RMB690mn,RMB812mn,and RMB949mn in 2026,2027,and 2028,with EPS of RMB0.33,RMB0.39,and RMB0.46.In line with the average valuation for comparable companies on Wind consensus,we apply 25x 2026E PE on our earnings estimates and derive our target price of RMB8.25(previously RMB7.59,on 23x 2026E PE).Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:Intensifying industry competition keep prices weak;downstream demand growth remain slow;new products ramping up fall short of our expectations.
