JDC Molybdenum(JDC)has posted 2025 revenue of RMB13.8bn(+1.94%YoY)and an attributable NP of RMB3.2bn(+5.77%YoY),with the YoY increase in attributable NP mainly driven by higher molybdenum prices.For 4Q25,revenue was RMB2.9bn(-15.09%YoY,24.88%QoQ),while the attributable NP was RMB868mn(+10.25%YoY,-3.95%QoQ),with the QoQ decline in 4Q25 attributable NP mainly reflecting lower molybdenum prices and relatively higher R&D expenses during the quarter.As JDC is aleader in the molybdenum value chain,we think that it should benefit from rising molybdenum prices in the short term.In the long term,it should be supported by the commissioning of the Shapinggou molybdenum mine.Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Rising molybdenum prices drove YoY 2025 NP growth
According to Wind,domestic molybdenum concentrate prices rose by 7%YoY to RMB3,838 per tonne-degree in 2025.As aresult,the company’s revenue increased by 1.94%YoY to RMB13.8bn.Meanwhile,investment income from its stake in Tianchi Molybdenum increased YoY.As aresult,the attributable NP rose by 5.77%YoY to RMB3.2bn.According to Wind,domestic molybdenum concentrate prices fell by 8%QoQ to RMB3,932 per tonne-degree in 4Q25.Meanwhile,the company’s 4Q R&D expenses surged by 140.75%QoQ to RMB194mn.As aresult,the attributable NP declined by 3.95%QoQ to RMB868mn.
Sustained innovation,more technological self-reliance
The full-year R&D expense ratio exceeded 3%.The company’s major national-equipment project achieved aseries of breakthroughs.Its ultrafine molybdenum powder technology reached aglobally leading level,with 372kg of samples produced and delivered.Development of special-specification molybdenum powder also achieved amajor breakthrough,with cumulative deliveries of 3.5 tonnes.The full product line of molybdenum-alloy piercing plugs,with unit weights of 100-800kg,completed production-line certification,and output reached 71 tonnes.Precision tungsten-molybdenum parts for the electronics industry completed product delivery and three rounds of iteration,winning orders worth more than RMB30mn.The company also developed key core technologies in the R&D of several new products,including molybdenum oxide semiconductor targets.Two major national science and technology projects progressed smoothly.The company completed project kickoffs and review procedures and received RMB16.8mn of support from the central government.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering that ample global liquidity may support commodity prices,we raise our molybdenum price assumptions for 2026E-2027E.We now estimate the company’s attributable NP at RMB3.4bn,RMB3.4bn,and RMB3.7bn for 2026E,2027E,and 2028E,changes of+4%,+1%,and-,respectively,versus our previous estimates.We value the stock at 21.2x 2026E PE,in line with its peers on Wind consensus,for our target price of RMB22.48,versus our previous target price of RMB17.24,based on 16.9x 2026E PE.
Risks:Downstream molybdenum demand falls short of our expectations;molybdenum supply is released faster than we expect;the start-up of Shapinggou falls short of our expectations.
