发布时间:2026-05-18 来源:华泰证券
China CSSC Holdings’2025 revenue was RMB151,978mn(+13.97%YoY;2024 results restated),and the attributable net profit(NP)was RMB7,848mn(+86.00%YoY),with the latter missing our forecast of RMB11,819mn,which we attribute mainly to fluctuations in the timing of ship delivery and revenue recognition.For 1Q26,revenue was RMB43,312mn(+54.90%YoY,-2.83%QoQ),and the attributable NP was RMB4,832mn(+251.64%YoY,+141.96%QoQ),with the latter’s strong growth mainly driven by an optimized ship order delivery mix and improving profitability.We are optimistic about the ongoing upward shipbuilding cycle and the company’s leading position in the shipbuilding sector.Ample orders on hand help the company continue to enhance its manufacturing efficiency.In addition,a higher proportion of high-value-added ship types is improving profitability.Maintain BUY.
1Q26:GPM rose markedly,expense control refined
The company’s 2025/1Q26 GPMs climbed by 2.10/4.57pp YoY to 12.58/17.48%,driven mainly by ahigher proportion of high-value-added ship types delivered and higher product prices,as well as improving production and construction efficiency.For 2025/1Q26,the overall expense ratio was 6.75/5.39%(-1.10/-1.77pp YoY).For 1Q26,the sales/administrative/R&D/financial expense ratios were 0.17/3.38/2.61/-0.77%(-0.11/-1.56/-0.64/+0.54pp YoY).The company has steadily strengthened its lean management to lower its overall expenses.
Shipbuilding business climate to remain robust
The newbuild market saw strong demand in 1Q26.According to Clarksons data,global new orders in 1Q26 were 57mn DWT(+105%YoY).Among them,new orders for oil tankers rose by 509%YoY to 33mn DWT,backed by tight downstream oil transportation capacity.Regarding prices,the Clarksons weekly newbuild price index rebounded for four consecutive weeks,rising from 182.08 on 27 March to 183.41 on 24 April.As demand further expanded,shipyards were witnessing fully booked production schedules(particularly across marginal capacity),which has bolstered their pricing power.Looking ahead,the core catalyst of the ongoing shipbuilding cycle remains the replacement demand from existing fleets.This tailwind is further enhanced by increasingly stringent environmental regulations that are accelerating the scrapping of ageing vessels.On the supply side,a contracting number of active global shipyards and the resulting tight capacity are lengthening lead times.We expect atight supply-demand balance to continue improving shipbuilding order volumes and prices.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
To factor in the company’s strong YoY earnings growth in 1Q26,which validated its improving profitability driven by an optimized mix of delivered ships,we raise our 2026/2027 attributable NP forecasts by 21/25%to RMB20,161/27,553mn,and add our 2028 forecast of RMB36,134mn,implying 2026/2027/2028 EPS of RMB2.68/3.66/4.80.We value the stock at 22x 2026E PE(unchanged),above its peers’average of 20x on iFind consensus,as we think that its world-leading capacity scale,manufacturing processes,and order acquisitions position it well to benefit from an upward shipbuilding cycle.Our target price is RMB58.96(previous:RMB48.62,based on 22x 2026E PE).
