发布时间:2026-05-08 来源:华泰证券
Hanbell Precision Machinery(Hanbell)has reported 2025 revenue of RMB2,927mn(-20.35%YoY)and attributable net profit of RMB469mn(-45.66%YoY),with recurring net profit of RMB431mn(-47.47%YoY).In 4Q25,revenue was RMB661mn(-19.12%YoY,-14.83%QoQ),and attributable net profit reached RMB76.97mn(-45.49%YoY,-42.74%QoQ).Earnings in 2025 fell short of our previous estimate of RMB684mn,primarily due to weaker-than-we-expected demand for high-margin PV vacuum pumps.We expect the company’s compressors to benefit from growth in cold chain logistics,data centers,heat pump fields,and equipment replacement demand.Additionally,semiconductor vacuum pumps have significant import substitution potential.Maintain BUY.
2025 profit strained on PV vacuum pump GPM contraction
In 2025,the company's revenue/net profit declined,with the full-year gross margin at 34.11%,down 4.2pp YoY,primarily due to arapid contraction in the previously high-margin PV vacuum pump business.In terms of cash flow,net cash flow from operating activities in 2025 was RMB779mn,a significant increase from RMB112mn in 2024.For expenses,full-year 2025 operating expenses totaled RMB489mn,up 17.34%YoY,with the operating expense ratio at 16.7%,up 5.37pp YoY.In 1Q26,Hanbell showed some recovery in overall earnings,with total operating revenue of RMB689mn,up 13.56%YoY;attributable net profit of RMB122mn,up 3.30%YoY;and recurring net profit of RMB109mn,down 1.84%YoY.Gross margin in 1Q26 was 33.02%,down 2.64pp YoY,while NPM was 17.67%,down 1.87pp YoY.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We cut our 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP forecast to RMB630/713/771mn(down 20.21/18.92%from our prior 2026/2027 forecast of RMB790/880mn),with 2026/2027/2028 EPS of RMB1.18/1.33/1.44.The downward revision mainly reflects greater-than-we-expected pressure on PV vacuum pumps,which has weighed on the company's margins.The peers’average 2026E PE(on iFind consensus)is 25.6x(previous:19.87x 2025E PE),and considering Hanbell's leading position in domestic semiconductor vacuum pumps with continued import substitution potential,plus incremental earnings contributions from data center cooling as anew growth driver,we assign a27x 2026E PE(previous:25x 2025E PE),with atarget price of RMB31.86(previous:RMB32.25).Maintain BUY.
Risks:Raw-material price fluctuations,delayed vacuum-pump delivery,weaker downstream demand than we expect.
