Business Transformation Weighed on NP
发布时间:2026-09-13 来源:华泰证券
For 1H26,TDG Holdings recorded revenue of RMB1,754mn(+10.75%YoY),attributable net profit(NP)of-RMB282mn(-636.67%YoY),and recurring attributable NP of-RMB302mn(-9,555.52%YoY).Revenue growth was mainly driven by YoY increases in sales revenue from magnetic materials and sapphire crystal materials in the electronic materials segment.The earnings loss was mainly due to the rapid contraction of the PV segment,which led to sizeable overdue receivables and slow-moving inventories,as well as asset impairment provisions.Looking ahead,as the company sharpens its strategic focus on core electronic materials and as PV segment risks are worked through,we expect earnings to recover.Maintain BUY.
1H26 GPM rose,but the PV segment weighed on earnings
For 1H26,overall GPM was 21.66%(+1.03pp YoY),mainly because high-GPM electronic materials made up ahigher proportion of revenue.However,expenses grew faster than revenue,with the overall expense ratio reaching 20.11%(+1.24pp YoY).Sales/administrative/R&D/financial expense ratios were 2.71/9.07/7.80/0.53%,with YoY changes of+0.15/+0.27/+0.28/+0.55pp.The increase in financial expenses was mainly due to higher forex losses.The biggest drag on earnings came from impairment losses,which totaled RMB393mn,up by RMB355mn YoY,mainly due to bad-debt losses on PV segment receivables and inventory impairment.
2Q26 impairments expanded faster
On aquarterly basis,2Q26 revenue increased by 17.88%QoQ to RMB949mn,and GPM rose by 3.01pp QoQ to 23.04%,indicating QoQ improvement in both revenue and GPM.However,credit impairment losses/asset impairment losses reached RMB169/167mn in 2Q26,totaling RMB336mn,a sharp increase from RMB57mn in 1Q26,reflecting greater exposure of PV segment risks in 2Q26.As aresult,attributable NP came in at-RMB240mn in 2Q26,with the loss widening QoQ from-RMB42mn in 1Q26.On expenses,the 2Q26 overall expense ratio fell by 0.36pp QoQ to 19.94%,suggesting QoQ improvement in expense control.The 2Q26 R&D expense ratio rose by 1.88pp QoQ to 8.66%,reflecting the company’s higher R&D investment in electronic materials.
Electronic materials expansion on track
Strategically,the company is implementing abroad-based contraction and transformation of its PV segment,shifting its focus to new product R&D and market expansion in crystal materials.In its core electronic materials business,soft magnetic materials benefited from rising downstream demand from NEVs and AI servers,and copper-iron co-fired integrated inductors have entered mass production.The sapphire business is seeing amild recovery,while the company is expanding into new application scenarios such as carriers for advanced packaging and substrates for GaN power devices.In production line construction,the sapphire crystal manufacturing and processing base project was 60%complete;the 25.3ktpa high-end magnetic materials intelligent manufacturing production line project was 66%complete;and the large-size RF piezoelectric wafer project was 43%complete.As the company focuses on its core electronic materials business and PV segment risks are worked through,we expect earnings to recover.
Maintain BUY
We maintain our earnings forecasts and project 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP of RMB64/222/447mn,corresponding to EPS of RMB0.05/0.18/0.36.Considering that TDG Holdings is among the few companies globally capable of mass-producing lithium niobate crystals,and is alisted company in China capable of mass producing 8-inch lithium niobate wafers,we believe it enjoys synergies across multiple electronic materials such as soft magnetic materials and sapphire,proprietary and self-sufficient technologies,and technology moats.Maintain BUY.
Risks:PV segment risk resolution falling short of our expectation,weaker-than-expected electronic materials demand,sharp increases in raw material prices,sales collection risks.
