Overseas Business Poised to Forge New Growth Trajectory
发布时间:2026-04-13 来源:华泰证券
Range Technology (Range) has reported 2025 and 1Q26 results. Revenue rose by 30% YoY and 54% YoY to RMB5.7bn and RMB1.8bn in 2025 and 1Q26, respectively. The attributable NP increased by 182% YoY and 35% YoY to RMB5.1bn and RMB580mn, respectively. For 2025 the profit was slightly below our previous estimate of RMB5.3bn, mainly due to higher share-based incentive expenses and greater depreciation from newly added computing centers. Benefiting from equity disposal gains from the issuance of public REITs projects, and from the rising utilization rate at newly delivered computing centers, the company maintained rapid earnings growth. We think that the AIGC wave is driving a gradual increase in domestic demand for intelligent computing. With its accumulated data center resources in core locations, the company is well positioned to capture opportunities from the new round of industrial transformation, win leading AI clients early, and move to a new stage of growth. In addition, the company has completed the buildout of two overseas nodes in Sandy Ridge, Hong Kong (China), and Batam Island, Indonesia. It is likely to benefit from global AI industry growth and from the supply shortage in overseas data centers. Maintain BUY.
Two overseas AI nodes ready, supporting a new leg of growth
Range has completed the buildout of nine AI infrastructure clusters globally, with total planned computing capacity of 6GW and operating capacity of about 750MW. In China, it has established the framework of an integrated computing center system, covering six core regions including Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Greater Bay Area. Overseas, it has adopted a dual strategy of exporting services and exporting asset investment. Through a mix of self-construction and acquisitions, it has quickly completed the buildout of two overseas nodes in Sandy Ridge, Hong Kong, and Batam Island, Indonesia, with combined planned computing capacity of about 600MW. As the global AI industry develops, overseas data centers remain in short supply. The company has moved quickly to capture this opportunity. We think that it can bring its experience in building advanced campus-scale intelligent computing clusters in mainland China to the Hong Kong (China) and Southeast Asian markets, forging a new growth trajectory.
Earnings growth likely to sustain; maintain BUY
Given the upfront investment for overseas expansion and higher depreciation and amortization from newly built computing centers, we estimate attributable NP at RMB2.8bn, RMB3.7bn, and RMB4.9bn for 2026, 2027, and 2028, cuts of 6.6% and 4.8% versus our previous estimates for 2026 and 2027. AI applications such as OpenClaw are in a golden period of rapid development, and demand for computing infrastructure construction could grow by multiples. In addition, overseas data centers are still in short supply. The company has already completed two nodes in Sandy Ridge, Hong Kong (China), and Batam Island, Indonesia. Overseas business is likely to unlock a new growth curve. Given the strong growth opportunities in both domestic and overseas operations, we value the stock at 36x 2026 EV/EBITDA, versus its peers’ average of 22x on Wind consensus. Our target price is RMB98.70 (previously RMB66.28, on 24x 2026 EV/EBITDA). Maintain BUY.
Risks: client power-draw progress falling short of expectations; project construction and delivery progress missing expectations.
