Guangxi Guiguan Electric Power(Guiguan)has reported 2025 revenue of RMB10.4bn(+8.28%YoY),an attributable NP of RMB3.3bn(+43.63%YoY),and arecurring NP of RMB3.3bn(+35.49%YoY).For 4Q25,revenue reached RMB3.1bn(+36.21%YoY),while the attributable NP was RMB860mn(+621.07%YoY).For 4Q25,earnings beat the upper end of our forecast range at RMB579mn for attributable NP in our earnings preview;this was mainly because hydropower generation was stronger than we expected.The company declared acumulative DPS of RMB0.293/share for 2025,with apayout ratio of 70.42%implying adividend yield of 3.0%.We remain positive on the economic value of hydropower and the company’s strong dividend-payout capability.Maintain BUY.
Record-high profit despite share of imbalance charges
In 2025,water inflows in the river basins where the company’s core hydropower plants operate rose rapidly,lifting hydropower generation to 41.568bn kWh,up by 35.92%YoY.Under the Guangxi implementation plan for continuous settlement trial operations in the southern regional power spot market,issued on 20 June 2025 by the Guangxi Power Trading Center and the Guangxi Grid Power Dispatch and Control Center,power volumes from non-market sources such as hydropower are sold in the market after guaranteed power demand from residents,agriculture,and other protected users is met.These sources must also share imbalance power charges.For 3Q25,the company recorded RMB459mn less revenue due to this charge allocation.We estimate that this reduced hydropower revenue by around RMB0.031/kWh in 3Q25 and lowered the attributable NP by RMB326mn for the quarter.As aresult,the company’s average hydropower on-grid tariff,VAT inclusive,declined by 11.03%YoY to RMB0.228/kWh in 2025.Even so,the total hydropower profit still rose by 47.46%YoY to RMB4.3bn,helping the attributable NP reach arecord high in 2025.
Thermal&PV under pressure;wind power PBT+46.12%YoY
For 2025,the pre-tax profit from thermal power decreased by 122.44%YoY to negative RMB219mn.This mainly reflected asharp YoY decline in Guangxi’s annual long-term contract power tariff in 2025.The company proactively generated only power volumes with marginal contributions,but the fixed costs were still not fully covered.In 2025,the company added 411MW of wind power capacity and 718.1MW of solar capacity.Wind and solar on-grid tariffs declined by 5.97%and 0.07%YoY,respectively,while utilization hours fell by 26.24%and 25.00%YoY,respectively.The profit before tax(PBT)from wind power and PV changed by+46.12%and-87.31%YoY to RMB255mn and RMB6.54mn,respectively.We expect the company’s wind and solar installed capacity to maintain steady growth in 2026.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
As the company’s 2025 hydropower generation beat our expectation,we raise our 2026-2027 hydropower generation forecasts by 10.76%each.We therefore revise up our attributable NP forecasts for 2026 and 2027 by 10.04%and 8.53%to RMB3.4bn and RMB3.4bn,respectively.We also introduce our 2028 attributable NP forecast of RMB3.5bn.We project EPS at RMB0.43,RMB0.43,and RMB0.44,respectively.Comparable companies trade at an average 2026E PE of 16.9x on Wind consensus.We remain positive on the company’s cash flow value.As the company’s ROE and payout ratio are higher than those of most peers,and as apossible injection of the group’s Tibet assets may open up further growth potential,we apply avaluation multiple of 26.5x 2026E PE for the stock.Our target price is RMB11.28,versus RMB9.09 previously,which was based on 23.5x 2026E PE.Maintain BUY.
Risks:hydropower generation falling short of our expectations;and hydropower on-grid tariffs coming in below our expectations.
