Clean Heating & HSR Digital Media the Dual Growth Drivers
发布时间:2026-05-29 来源:华泰证券
Luenmei Quantum is a high-quality clean heating and high-speed rail digital media platform in China, providing comprehensive energy solutions, smart operations and management services to meet the multifold needs of urban residents for heating and cooling, industrial parks, and large urban public buildings. Its subsidiary, Mega-info Media, is a leading enterprise in China's high-speed rail digital industry. In 1Q26, the company achieved revenue of RMB1,584mn (-6.8% YoY) and attributable NP of RMB533mn (-13.8% YoY), mainly due to profit pressure at Mega-info Media and fair value change losses (a decline of RMB36.98mn YoY). Considering the stable operation of the company's core heating business and the growth potential of its future outdoor 3D naked-eye high-definition large-screen media business, we maintain our BUY rating on the stock.
2025 heating and steam business GPM up 3.87pp YoY
The company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Shenyang Hunnan Thermal and Shenyang Xinbei Thermal Power, primarily use clean coal combustion to provide central heating, steam supply, and power generation services to users in Shenyang. In 2025, the company's heating area reached 78.24mn sqm, an increase of 1.20mn sqm. The heating and steam business achieved revenue of RMB2,300mn (+1.1% YoY), with a gross margin of 28.29% (+3.87pp YoY).
Looking back at the company's history, the gross profit contributed by the heating business has always been above approximately 40%, and even during the high coal price years of 2022/2023, the gross margin still exceeded 22% (while many companies focused on heating suffered severe losses). We believe the company's heating business has stellar profitability and are positive on its future outlook.
2025/1Q26 attributable NP -84/-73% YoY
The company's subsidiary, Mega-info Media, achieved revenue of RMB553/ 119mn in 2025/1Q26, down 17/27% YoY. Attributable NP of RMB12.15/5.73mn was down 84/73% YoY while gross margins of 26.71/12.80% was down 6.97/ 17.31pp YoY. Sustained pressure on attributable NP/gross margin was mainly due to the YoY decline in revenue and gross margin of the high-speed rail media business. Operationally, Mega-info Media continues to optimize the screen mix of its high-speed rail media business (cancelling low-value media stations) as it steadily advances its outdoor large-screen business. The outdoor 3D naked-eye HD large-screen media business turned profitable YoY in 2025 with a gross margin of 15.74% (+16.78pp YoY). We believe the outdoor large-screen business holds long-term growth potential.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We project the company's 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP to be RMB899/937/998mn (-3%/-10%/- vs previous), corresponding to EPS of RMB0.40/0.41/0.44. The adjustments are mainly due to the continued decline in Mega-info Media's gross margin, leading us to lower its gross margin forecasts. Considering the stable operation of the company's core heating business and the growth potential of its future outdoor 3D naked-eye HD large-screen media business, we value the stock at 20.0x 2026E PE, above its peers’ average of 13x on Wind consensus, for our target price of RMB7.93 (previous: RMB7.66, at 20.7x 2025E PE). Maintain BUY.
Risks: Slower growth in grid installation area than we expect, coal price cuts missing our expectations, disappointing growth in advertising business.
