Volume lifts revenue,costs squeeze 2Q profit
Triangle Tyre sold 12.07mn tyres in 1H26,up 8.52%YoY,driving revenue growth.By market,domestic sales rose 6.8%YoY,with OEM/replacement sales up 7.5%/6.2%YoY.Export sales grew 9.6%YoY,with Southeast Asia and Russia maintaining rapid growth,though Middle East and Africa sales fell 20%YoY due to geopolitical conflicts.In 1H26,export prices weakened under pressure from intensified domestic and overseas competition,EU anti-dumping duties,and FX volatility.Meanwhile,raw materials such as natural rubber,synthetic rubber,and carbon black jumped due to Middle East conflicts and other factors,squeezing industry profitability from both ends.As aresult,2Q profit slid.1H26 gross margin rose 1.8pp YoY to 17.85%,while 2Q gross margin fell 4.3pp QoQ to 15.8%.
R&D gains materialize,Cambodia project to support growth
The company has continued to advance R&D on high-performance tires and new applications.In 1H26,it completed development of next-generation high-speed snow tires,non-studded ice and snow tires for extreme cold,tires dedicated to NEVs,and multiple large-size OTR tires.It also began supplying automakers such as BYD,Geely,and Hongqi.In May 2026,its self-developed civil aviation radial tires received CTSOA approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China,and in June it obtained AS9100D aerospace quality management system certification.We expect these R&D achievements to gradually broaden its product scope.Overseas,the company plans to invest RMB3,219mn to build aproject in Cambodia with annual capacity of 7mn high-performance radial tires.We expect overseas capacity to strengthen its ability to navigate trade barriers and optimize its market structure,potentially becoming akey growth driver.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Factoring in raw material cost pressure,FX volatility,and EU anti-dumping duties,we cut our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit forecasts to RMB701/894/1,040mn from RMB898/1,039/1,188mn,down 22/14/13%,implying-24/+28/+16%YoY and EPS of RMB0.88/1.12/1.30.Against comparable peers trading at 14x 2026E PE on Wind consensus,we assign a16x 2026E PE to reflect the company's sizable monetary assets and incremental contribution from the Cambodia project.Our target price is RMB14.08(previous:RMB16.80 on 15x 2026E PE).OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:raw material price swings,weaker downstream demand than we expect,intensifying competition,and uncertainty over overseas trade policy.
