发布时间:2026-05-27 来源:华泰证券
The construction industry is shifting from scale expansion toward efficiency prioritization,with clients placing greater emphasis on profitability and cash flow.Demand for refined management across the entire process of cost control,construction,and design continues to rise.In response to industry changes,Glodon has expanded its strategic scope from the traditional new-building market into broader engineering fields including infrastructure,urban renewal,water conservancy,new energy,industrial buildings,and SME projects,while leveraging Data+AI to upgrade its products from standalone software tools to integrated platform solutions.Based on the company's 2025 annual report and 1Q26 results,profitability continued recovering,with the attributable net profit(NP)up by 61.77/14.62%YoY in 2025/1Q26,extending the trend of improving operating quality.We believe that while traditional residential construction and some SME customer demand may remain under pressure in the short term,the company's ongoing progress in refined cost management,refined construction management,integrated design,overseas expansion,and AI commercialization is set to support long-term growth potential.We assign aBUY rating.
AI transitioning from capability building to commercialization
In 2025,Glodon advanced AI products across three high-value scenarios:integrated design,refined cost management,and refined construction management.Progress was achieved in products including AI industrial installation quantity takeoff,AI highway quantity takeoff,AI intelligent pricing,AI bid evaluation,AI bid cleaning,PMSmart AI-assisted decision-making,and AI safety management.In 2026,the company further established separate AI Research Institute and AI Engineering Department,focusing respectively on underlying technology development and commercial implementation.Its proprietary large model has passed the national generative AI service filing.We believe that as Glodon empowers core products and ecosystem partners through Data+AI,AI is poised to drive the company's strategic transition from software tools toward integrated platform solutions.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We project 2026/2027/2028 revenue at RMB6,241/6,503/6,772mn(previous 2026 forecast:RMB7,314mn,revised down by 14.67%),with attributable NP at RMB614/682/739mn(previous 2026 forecast:RMB828mn,revised down by 25.87%),implying EPS of RMB0.37/0.41/0.45(previous 2026 forecast:RMB0.50,revised down by 26.00%).The downward revision mainly reflects weaker-than-expected recovery in company revenue due to declining traditional residential construction investment and pressure on demand from some SME customers.Meanwhile,digital design,overseas business,and AI commercialization remain in the validation and expansion stage,and their earnings contribution has yet to materialize.We value the stock at 5.4x 2026E PS,at par with its peers'average on iFind consensus,for our target price of RMB20.34.Maintain BUY.
