Jingneng Power released its 1H26 results: revenue was RMB16,587mn (-3.51% YoY), attributable NP was RMB1,989mn (+0.21% YoY), and recurring NP was RMB1,972mn (+1.17% YoY). 2Q26 revenue was RMB6,407mn (-11.39% YoY, -37.07% QoQ), and attributable NP was RMB888mn (-1.34% YoY, -19.40% QoQ), in line with our estimate of RMB685-903mn. We believe that if the private placement is completed, it will provide funding support for expansion, and the successive commissioning of units under construction and reserve projects will increase the company's installed capacity, likely driving net profit growth. We maintain OVERWEIGHT.
1H26: thermal power utilization hours up YoY
As of end-1H26, the company's thermal-power installed capacity was 21.09GW, with no new units added vs 1H25. In 1H26, thermal-power generation rose 4.54% YoY to 43,366mn kWh, due to higher YoY utilization hours; in 2Q26, thermal-power generation fell 0.21% YoY to 19,154mn kWh. In 1H26/2Q26, NE power generation rose 11.42/21.18% YoY, primarily driven by increased installed capacity. In 1H26, the company achieved 643.3MW of NE grid-connected capacity, commenced construction on 782.4MW, and obtained 1,880MW of approved and filed projects. NE projects are accelerating, the project pipeline continues to be optimized, and economies of scale are emerging, effectively promoting the transformation and upgrade of the energy mix.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We maintain our earnings forecasts, expecting 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP of RMB3,666/3,760/3,814mn, with 2026 EPS/BVPS of RMB0.55/4.64. The average 2026E PB of comparable companies on Wind consensus is 1.11x (previous: 1.19x). Considering the company's abundant pipeline of units under construction and reserve projects, of which successive commissioning will increase installed capacity and likely drive net profit growth, and that the private placement, will provide funding support for expansion upon completion, we assign the stock a 2026E target PB of 1.31x, yielding a target price of RMB6.08 (previous: RMB5.57, based on 1.20x 2026E PB).
Risks: Coal price volatility exceeding our estimates, declines in utilization hours, and slower progress of projects under construction than we expect.
