Broadening company business boundaries
On 30 October,the company disclosed plans to invest in an energy equipment project of its subsidiary Neway Fluid Technology(Chengdu)(to be renamed Neway Energy Equipment(Chongqing)),with atotal investment of approximately RMB293mn over five years.The company expects the project to generate annual revenue of RMB220mn and annual post-tax profit of RMB47.1552mn after reaching full capacity,with atheoretical payback period of 6.94 years(post-tax,including construction period).The subsidiary focuses on fracturing manifold and skid-mounted equipment rental services,and has cultivated the southwest oil and gas field market for many years,with amature fracturing rental service system,a professional on-site service team,and rich project implementation experience,forming astable customer cooperation foundation in the southwest oil and gas production sector.The company plans to relocate it to Chongqing and leverage Neway’s expertise in energy equipment manufacturing to build an integrated base serving the southwest region,combining R&D and manufacturing of oil and gas extraction equipment with complete equipment rental.We think that this investment aligns with the company’s strategic plan to evolve from‘product leadership’to afull lifecycle model of‘technology+products+services+solutions,’and may help the company diversify its business and open anew growth curve.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering near-term gross margin pressure and the potential for medium-to-long-term volume ramping up of high-margin products to partially alleviate margin pressure,we lower our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit forecasts to RMB1,854/2,271/2,616mn(previous:RMB1,944/2,310/2,634mn,down by 5/2/1%),with EPS of RMB2.38/2.91/3.36.Comparable companies trade at an average 2027E PE of 13x on iFinD consensus(previous:26x 2026E PE).We assign the company a2027E PE of 13x(previous:26x 2026E PE),and adjust our target price to RMB37.83(previous:RMB64.20).
Risks:Intensified market competition;fluctuations in freight rates and exchange rates;high correlation with demand in the petrochemical industry;disappointing business expansion progress in new fields.
