Marine Aftertreatment Boosts Earnings
发布时间:2026-05-26 来源:华泰证券
Since 2025,the research and formulation process of the China VII emission standard for motor vehicle exhaust aftertreatment has been accelerating.We are optimistic about the expansion of the China VII market space and the acceleration of the import substitution process.As acore participant in the frontier technology development of the domestic aftertreatment field,ActBlue has taken the lead in conducting feasibility studies for China VII pre-research and has seen the application of key technologies on relevant platforms.In addition,marine aftertreatment and server trading may,in our view,continue contributing incremental profit.In 1Q26,the company's attributable NP increased 7.11%YoY to RMB19.86mn,mainly due to growth in the marine aftertreatment business and the customized server assembly and sales business.We are optimistic about the company's earnings growth potential and maintain BUY.
Robust YoY growth in 2025 attributable NP
In 2025,China's commercial vehicle market saw both domestic demand and export growth.The company's attributable NP increased 90.55%YoY to RMB95.04mn,mainly due to the following two factors:1)In the aftertreatment market,ActBlue expanded new customers,acquiring new projects from clients such as Sinotruk and Jiangxi Isuzu in the diesel segment and turning them to production.Separately,it catered to existing customer needs by undertaking new projects.In 2025,it developed and won aproject from Chery,becoming the supplier of Chery's China 6b mass production projects.2)The expansion of the marine segment business led to asignificant YoY increase in sales and profits.During the year,Zhonghai Blue-Navi Technology achieved batch application and delivery of aftertreatment systems for marine methanol-fueled internal combustion engines.In 2025,the company's production/sales volume of engine exhaust purification products increased 21/18%YoY to 272,300/270,200 units,with agross margin of 22.42%,up 1.47pp YoY.In addition,in the generator set aftertreatment field,the company won bids and completed multiple flue gas denitrification treatment projects for diesel and natural gas engine test benches,delivered multiple sets of aftertreatment devices for large diesel generator sets exported overseas,and obtained contracts for several sets of aftertreatment devices for large diesel generator sets exported overseas,which will be delivered sequentially.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We forecast ActBlue’s attributable NP for 2026/2027/2028 to be RMB145/200/258mn(+13%/+25%/-vs.our previous forecasts),corresponding to EPS of RMB1.82/2.50/3.22.The adjustment is mainly due to an upward revision of the sales volume forecast for exhaust purification products based on downstream demand conditions and the company's market development progress.The average 2026E PE of comparable companies based on Wind consensus is 35.9x.Considering the company's high earnings upside and the vast space in the China VII market,green energy,and smart technology fields,we assign a2026E PE multiple of 47x,resulting in atarget price of RMB85.54(previous:RMB48.40 based on a2025E 40x PE).
Risks:Slow progress in China VII,business-climate uplifts in the commercial-vehicle industry falling short of our expectations,weaker marine aftertreatment and computing server trading growth than we expect.
