CIMC Safeway released its 3Q26 results: 9M26 revenue was RMB2,464mn (+40.75% YoY), attributable NP was RMB93mn (-6.94% YoY), and recurring attributable NP was RMB84mn (+9.28% YoY). 3Q26 revenue was RMB1,008mn (+87.74% YoY, +12.17% QoQ), attributable NP was RMB47mn (+28.39% YoY, +111.40% QoQ), and recurring attributable NP was RMB43mn (+24.82% YoY, +112.69% QoQ). Revenue and profit recovered notably QoQ in 3Q26. By segment, 9M26 tank container revenue was RMB1,881mn (+43.25% YoY), medical equipment component revenue was RMB220mn (+21.36% YoY), and aftermarket revenue was RMB120mn (+7.13% YoY), with all three segments recording YoY growth. As chemical logistics demand recovers, we believe the company could be well-positioned to benefit as a global tank container leader. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
9M26 GPM down YoY; cost control optimized
9M26 gross margin was 11.67%, down 2.87pp YoY, as the industry remained in the early stages of a cyclical recovery with intense competition despite recovering tank container demand. 3Q26 gross margin was 11.09%, down 3.63pp YoY but up 0.02pp QoQ. 9M26 expense ratio was 6.52%, down 2.35pp YoY. Specifically, the sales expense ratio was 0.55%, down 0.36pp YoY; the administrative expense ratio was 2.93%, down 1.97pp YoY; the R&D expense ratio was 3.25%, down 0.64pp YoY; and the financial expense ratio was -0.22%, up 0.62pp YoY, due to lower interest income. We attribute overall improvement in expense ratio control to the recovery in revenue scale diluting overall expenses. The 3Q26 expense ratio was 5.89%, down 2.98pp YoY and 0.89pp QoQ. 9M26 net margin was 3.69%, down 2.06pp YoY.
Chemical logistics demand rebounded
As the domestic chemical industry drives recovery in chemical logistics demand, business demand from chemical logistics service providers and tank container lessors has grown, and tank container market demand has recovered. The government has been promoting specialized and containerized transportation of chemicals and the opening of coastal and inland logistics corridors. Tank containers, a multimodal transport vehicle for liquid cargo, may benefit accordingly. Tank containers face high requirements for safety, environmental protection, and global certification. Orders continue to concentrate among leading players. Newly signed orders in 9M26 reached RMB2,343mn (+45.29% YoY). As of end-September, orders on hand stood at RMB1,295mn (+50.82% YoY), down from RMB1,570mn at end-June, owing to fulfillment and delivery of earlier orders.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering that 9M26 gross margin declined 2.87pp YoY and attributable NP declined 6.94% YoY, with the pace of full-year earnings recovery slower than previously expected, owing to intense competition in the tank container industry and price pressure in the early stages of recovery, we lower our 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP forecasts to RMB142/194/310mn (previous: RMB263/383/514mn, down 46/49/40%), corresponding to BVPS of RMB7.68/7.83/8.18. The average 2027E PB of comparable companies on iFind consensus is 1.4x. Considering high YoY growth in newly signed orders and orders on hand in 9M26, and the formation of a second growth curve in the medical equipment components business, we assign the company a 2027E PB of 1.8x, with a target price of RMB14.09 (previous: RMB14.18, based on 1.8x 2026E PB).
Risks: Forex rate fluctuations, a weaker recovery in the chemical logistics sector than we expect, raw-material price volatility.
