We Expect Wind Turbine Profitability to Recover in 2H26
发布时间:2026-09-09 来源:华泰证券
1H26 revenue increased by 24.0%YoY to RMB10,660mn,and attributable net profit(NP)rose by 11.0%YoY to RMB230mn.For 2Q26,revenue came in at RMB6,680mn(+4.2/+67.5%YoY/QoQ),attributable NP was RMB50mn(-86.6/-70.0%YoY/QoQ),and GPM was 6.8%(-5.2/-4.9pp YoY/QoQ).The pressure on 2Q26 earnings stemmed mainly from the absence of power station transfers and ahigher shipment share in the lower-GPM domestic market.Looking into 2H26,we expect the company's profitability to pick up,as it is working to deliver high-GPM orders and strengthen cost and expense control.Maintain BUY.
Wind turbine profitability improved in 1H26
For 1H26,revenue from wind turbine manufacturing increased by 43.7%YoY to RMB9,200mn,with sales volume up 33.3%YoY to 6.29GW.GPM reached 5.3%,up 0.9pp from full-year 2025,and gross profit increased by 64.1%YoY to RMB490mn.By region,domestic sales volume reached 5.79GW in 1H26,representing 15%of China's newly installed wind power capacity of 38.62GW,and GPM increased by 1.4pp from full-year 2025.Overseas sales volume reached 0.5GW,while GPM fell from full-year 2025,mainly due to FX losses from rupee depreciation and rising raw material costs.The company completed FX hedging in 2Q26,and GPM recovered QoQ.On expenses,the company reduced costs and enhanced efficiency across R&D innovation,supply chain,intelligent manufacturing,and other operations.For 1H26,the overall expense ratio was 8.5%(-2.6pp YoY).
Globalization strategy deepened
The company is expanding its global presence and overseas businesses.For 1H26,overseas revenue increased by 300.1%YoY to RMB930mn,mainly driven by rising overseas wind turbine deliveries.Overseas market expansion maintained strong growth momentum,with new order volume rising strongly YoY.As of the interim report announcement date,overseas signed backlog was close to 5GW.Overseas projects also progressed steadily.The company signed an MoU for a2GW large-scale wind power project in Egypt,driving an upgrade from single-product exports to localized industrial presence.The Alibunar wind power project in Serbia officially started construction,using investment and development to support product exports.The plant in Kazakhstan has started assembling its first batch of orders,and is likely to cover surrounding markets through localized production capacity.
Power generation profitability weakened
For 1H26,power generation revenue fell by 27.3%YoY to RMB60mn,and GPM was 59.4%(-8.5pp YoY).The GPM decline was mainly constrained by lower on-grid tariffs.Revenue from power station product sales fell by 42.4%YoY to RMB1,060mn in 1H26,mainly due to asmaller transfer scale,while GPM increased by 4.8pp YoY to 33.6%,mainly because the transferred wind farm resources had better endowments.As of end-1H26,the company had over 2.5GW of wind farms under construction.Looking ahead,the company is advancing wind farm construction and transfer schedules,which should contribute incremental earnings.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering rising raw material costs and FX depreciation,we lower our 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP forecasts by 29.36/13.44/0.90%to RMB1,328/2,174/2,795mn,implying EPS of RMB0.83/1.36/1.75.The company traded at an average EV/EBITDA multiple of 14.26x over the past year(28 August 2025 to 28 August 2026).As 1H26 NP drop inflated valuation multiple,we maintain our previous valuation multiple of 11.2x 2026E EV/EBITDA.We trim our target price to RMB19.04(previous:RMB30.46;RMB23.44 after share capital adjustment).Maintain BUY.
Risk:intensified competition,subpar policy execution,rising raw material prices.
