Sineng Electric’s 2025&1Q26 results:For 2025,revenue reached RMB5.63bn,+17.95%YoY;attributable net profit came to RMB463mn,+10.48%YoY;recurring net profit was RMB448mn,+8.72%YoY—broadly in line with our forecasts.For 1Q26,revenue was RMB1.07bn,+28.95%YoY;attributable net profit RMB98mn,+11.57%YoY;recurring net profit RMB88mn,+3.15%YoY.In our view,as aleading PV and energy storage inverter maker,the company stands to benefit from rising global demand for new energy and energy storage.Its push into high-margin overseas markets should drive both volume and margin expansion.We set atarget price of RMB45.88 and maintain BUY.
GPM improved,while expense ratio increased
For 2025,gross margin was 23.6%,+0.68pp YoY.Attributable net margin edged down YoY to 8.2%,mainly reflecting ahigher selling expense ratio from overseas market expansion,as well as ahigher finance expense ratio due to FX volatility in the US and India markets.The 2025 selling/administrative/R&D/finance expense ratios were 4.42/2.23/5.82/1.78%,shifting+0.43/+0.06/-0.25/+1.35pp YoY.The company's string PV inverters cover the full 3-465kW power range,while its energy storage inverters span 100-2,000kW,enabling applications across utility-scale,commercial&industrial,and residential scenarios.
Strong PV inverter&energy storage PCS overseas shipments
In 2025,PV inverter and energy storage revenue reached RMB3.48bn and RMB2.04bn,+26.3%and+5.6%YoY,with gross margins of 22.8%and 23.28%,+0.25pp and+1.3pp YoY,driven largely by expansion into high-margin overseas markets.1)PV inverters:2025 shipments totaled~37GW.We estimate domestic shipments of 25GW(16GW utility-scale+9GW distributed)and overseas shipments of 12GW(8GW India+4GW Middle East&Africa).2)Energy storage inverters:2025 shipments totaled~15GW.We estimate domestic shipments of 12GW and overseas shipments of 3GW(mainly from Europe,the US,India,the Middle East,and Africa).The company sees further growth potential in overseas PV and energy storage inverter sales in 2026.
Overseas expansion on track
Overseas revenue reached RMB2.07bn in 2025,+78%YoY,accounting for 37%of total revenue.Sineng is accelerating its overseas push,with aregional footprint beginning to take shape.In Australia,product certification is underway;in Europe,standardized product specifications are helping Sineng expand coverage across multiple countries.The company adopts differentiated partnership models based on regional market structures and project characteristics:in India,it focuses on direct PCS sales to project owners(bypassing integrators,with tenders by product category);in Europe,the Middle East,Southeast Asia,and Latin America,it employs adiversified model combining both owner-direct and integrator channels—steadily deepening overseas market penetration.
Target price of RMB45.88;maintain BUY
We raise our 2026/2027 attributable net profit forecasts to RMB0.75/0.97bn(previous:RMB0.66/0.82bn,+13/18%),reflecting higher overseas inverter and energy storage shipment assumptions based on 2025 results and industry conditions.We also introduce 2028E attributable net profit of RMB1.20bn,implying 2026/2027/2028 EPS of RMB1.48/1.92/2.37.Based on Wind consensus,comparable companies trade at an average 2026E PE of 26x.Given the company is in the early stages of overseas expansion with rapid shipment growth,we assign a2026E PE of 31x(20%valuation premium;previous:2026E 30x PE),yielding atarget price of RMB45.88(previous:RMB39.30).Maintain BUY.
Risks:Slower industry development than we expect,intensifying market competition,larger upstream raw material price increases than we expect.
