Xingfa Chemicals(Xingfa)has announced its 2025 annual results,reporting revenue of RMB29.3bn(+3%YoY),an attributable NP of RMB1.49bn(-7%YoY),and arecurring NP of RMB1.43bn(-11%YoY).For 4Q25,revenue was RMB5.52bn(-13%YoY,-40%QoQ),while the attributable NP reached RMB170mn(-40%YoY,-71%QoQ).The 4Q25 NP was below our expectation of RMB520mn,mainly due to YoY declines in organic silicon product prices.The company proposed acash dividend of RMB0.5/share.Considering the favorable phosphorus industry outlook and potential earnings contributions from new projects,we maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Sales volume of agrichemicals rose YoY on solid demand
For 2025,pesticide revenue increased by 2%YoY to RMB5.3bn,with sales volume rising by 4%YoY to 260k tonnes,mainly driven by strong overseas glyphosate orders,while the ASP declined by 2%YoY to RMB21k/tonne.Fertilizer revenue was down by 0.2%YoY to RMB4.0bn,with sales volume rising by 5%YoY to 1.34mn tonnes due to solid domestic and overseas demand,although the ASP decreased by 5%YoY to RMB3k/tonne.Specialty chemicals continued to scale,with segment revenue up by 1%YoY to RMB5.4bn and sales volume increasing by 8%YoY to 560k tonnes,but the ASP dropped by 6%YoY to RMB10k/tonne due to market competition.Organosilicon revenue grew by 6%YoY to RMB2.8bn,supported by expanded downstream applications,with sales volume surging by 24%YoY to 310k tonnes,although the ASP declined by 15%YoY to RMB9k/tonne.New energy materials revenue surged by 541%YoY to RMB1.6bn,with sales volume up by 281%YoY to 100k tonnes and the ASP rising by 68%YoY to RMB16k/tonne amid robust downstream demand.The company’s 2025 GPM fell by 1.6pp YoY to 18.0%.
Business climate for pesticide/organosilicon likely to improve
According to Baiinfo.com,as of 3April,the prices of phosphate rock/yellow phosphorus/MAP/DAP/glyphosate/ferric phosphate were RMB1,011/26,830/3,942/3,968/30,294/12,100 per tonne,increasing by 0/20/7/3/28/4%vs the beginning of the year,which indicates that the phosphorus industry chain remains relatively robust.Bloomberg data shows that,as of 3April,the overseas DAP(US Gulf)prices were around USD695/tonne,with the price spread between overseas and domestic phosphate fertilizers remaining elevated.For organosilicon,as of 3April,DMC prices had increased by 6%vs the beginning of the year to RMB14.5k/tonne,with the industry sentiment likely in our view to improve as the addition of new capacity slows down,domestic demand recovers,and supply is optimized amid the‘anti-involution’initiatives.In the new energy segment,according to the company’s 3April announcement,Xingfa plans to invest RMB1,381mn to construct a100ktpa battery-grade lithium iron phosphate(LFP)project,with aconstruction period of six months,which could in our view enhance the company’s market influence and comprehensive competitiveness in the new energy field.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We maintain our 2026/2027 attributable NP forecasts at RMB2.07/2.28bn and introduce our 2028 forecast of RMB2.60bn,with yoy growth of 39/10/14%for 2026/2027/2028,and EPS of RMB1.73/1.90/2.16.Given the company’s strong growth potential in electronic chemicals and new energy businesses,coupled with its advantage in phosphate rock resources,we value the stock at 20x 2026E PE,above its peers’average of 16x on Wind consensus,for our target price of RMB34.60(previous:RMB30.08,based on 16x 2026E PE).Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:lower downstream demand and slower progress in new projects than we expect.
