TBEA released its 1Q26 results, reporting revenue of RMB24.96bn (+6.8% YoY) and attributable net profit of RMB1.82bn (+13.4% YoY), showing robust growth in both the top and bottom line. We believe the company's multiple business segments are entering an upcycle in 2026. We expect: 1) power transmission to benefit from global high-voltage equipment shortages amid accelerated overseas expansion; 2) volume and price upside in gold operations; and 3) polysilicon business to see a turnaround. We anticipate strong earnings momentum through 2026-2027 and maintain our BUY rating on the shares.
NPM and GPM rising steadily; overall expense ratio stable
TBEA reported 1Q26 recurring net profit of RMB1.46bn (-3.8% YoY). Non-recurring gains totaled RMB354mn, mainly from RMB379mn combined impact of fair-value gains on China Southern Power Grid Energy shares and futures closing gains/losses that did not qualify for hedge accounting. Gross/net margin in 1Q26 was 21.12/8.58% (+0.53/1.49pp YoY), demonstrating robust profitability improvement. The operating expense ratio stood at 10.28% (+0.40pp YoY), with the sales/ administrative/financing/R&D expense ratio at 2.95/3.84/1.91/1.60% (-0.10/+0.41/ +0.54/-0.44pp YoY), largely stable.
Operating resilience
TBEA's power transmission business focused on existing markets while expanding into new segments like data centers, and extending into high-value-added areas such as bushings, GIS, capacitors and reactors. The company secured domestic contracts worth RMB56.2bn (+14.47% YoY) in 2025, enhancing full-industry-chain synergies. In new energy, TBEA implemented self-disciplined polysilicon production control, optimized wind and solar power plant layouts, and participated in desert-based mega projects, completing 2.74GW of power plant installations for the year. Its inverters and energy storage products won batch tenders, achieving key breakthroughs in UHVDC flexible transmission. The energy segment stabilized outbound markets by optimizing logistics channels, maintaining steady coal sales volume in 2025. Thermal power operations engaged in deep peak regulation and spot trading, steadily improving comprehensive benefits. The new materials business pursued differentiated marketing, with sales volumes reaching 55,300 tonnes of high-purity aluminum, 22,600 tonnes of electronic aluminum foil, 19.11mn sqm of formed foil, 153,400 tonnes of alloys and 38,900 tonnes of aluminum products, continuously optimizing the business mix.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We maintain our 2026/2027/2028 attributable net profit forecast at RMB7,012/9,601/10,739mn. In our SOTP valuation, we apply a 2026E PE of 33/13/14x (in line with the peer average) to the electrical equipment/coal and thermal power/gold business’ net profit forecast of RMB3.13/2.64/1.14bn. For the new energy business, as we expect it to remain near breakeven in 2026, we use our 2027E net profit forecast of RMB750mn and apply a 2027E PE of 21x, referencing its peers' average 2027E PE of 26x (on Wind consensus) and accounting for factors such as the H-share listing discount (altogether a 15% discount). We derive a 2026E target valuation of RMB13.4bn for this segment. Our total target valuation is RMB167.9bn, with a target price of RMB33.23, implying 23.9x 2026E PE (previous: RMB33.54, 24.2x 2026E PE). Maintain BUY.
Risks: Slower grid investment than we expect, intensifying industry competition, rising raw-material costs.

TBEA has reported 2025 revenue of RMB97.32bn (-0.6% YoY) and an attributable net profit of RMB5.95bn (+44.01% YoY), missing our prior estimates of RMB102.81/6.74bn, owing to weaker performance than we expected in power cables & new energy revenues and coal & new energy gross margins. We think that several business segments should enter an upcycle in 2026. We expect: 1) power transmission to benefit from global high-voltage equipment shortages amid its overseas expansion; 2) volume and price upside in gold operations; 3) polysilicon business to see a positive inflection point. We expect strong earnings momentum through 2026-2027 and maintain BUY.
Strong 2025 profit growth with margin expansion
TBEA delivered an attributable net profit of RMB5.95bn (+44.01% YoY) and a recurring net profit of RMB4.55bn (+15.64% YoY) for 2025, driven by: 1) reduced losses in polysilicon operations; 2) profit growth in power transmission and gold businesses; and 3) RMB1.49bn of fair-value gains from Huadian New Energy’s IPO. The gross/net margins were 18.88%/6.17% (+0.68/2.49pp YoY), showing steady profitability improvement. The operating expense ratio was 10.65% (+0.92pp YoY), with the sales/administrative/financing/R&D expense ratios at 3.42/3.85/1.61/1.78% (+0.24/0.14/0.15/0.40pp YoY), maintaining overall cost discipline.
Polysilicon loss narrowed, power transmission/gold profits grew
Electrical equipment recorded 2025 revenue of RMB26.76bn (+19.66% YoY) with a gross margin at 19.81% (+2.23pp YoY), benefiting from capacity expansion, intensified domestic & international market development, product-mix optimization and enhanced cost control. Power cables revenue reached RMB15.57bn (-0.78% YoY). Power transmission systems generated revenue of RMB4.93bn (-0.93% YoY). New energy products and engineering revenue declined by 26.85% YoY to RMB13.56bn due to decreased polysilicon sales volumes. Power generation revenue grew by 28.20% YoY to RMB7.18bn on expanded installed capacity. Coal operations reported RMB16.97bn of revenue (-11.93% YoY) with the margin contracting by 10.03pp to 22.39% due to falling average selling prices. Gold revenue jumped by 106.86% YoY to RMB2.47bn with the margin expanding by 3.53pp to 57.23% due to increased concentrate sales volumes and rising gold prices.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering the lower 2025 revenue than we expected from power cables and new energy businesses, we cut our 2026/2027 revenue forecasts. Based on the 2025 price and cost conditions, we reduce our 2026/2027 gross margin assumptions for the coal and new energy businesses. Meanwhile, due to higher 2025 expense ratios than we expected, we raise our 2026-2027 expense ratio forecasts. We revise down our 2026/2027 attributable net profit forecasts to RMB7.01/9.60bn (-8.10%/-8.27% vs our prior estimates of RMB7.63/10.47bn) and introduce our new 2028 forecast of RMB10.74bn. We maintain our SOTP valuation. For the electrical equipment/coal and thermal power/gold businesses, we apply 2026E PEs of 35x/12x/15x (in line with their peers’ averages on Wind consensus, same below) on our net profit forecasts of RMB3.13/2.64/1.14bn. For the new energy business, as we expect it to remain near breakeven in 2026, we use our 2027E net profit forecast of RMB750mn, reference its peers’ average 2027E PE of 20x, account for factors such as the H-share listing discount for subsidiary Xinte Energy, and apply a 2027E PE of 16x. We discount this by 15% to derive our 2026E target valuation of RMB10.2bn. Our total target valuation is RMB169.5bn, equivalent to 24x 2026E PE. We revise our target price to RMB33.54 (previous: RMB33.31, based on 22x 2026E PE). Maintain BUY.
Risks: slower grid investment than we expect; intensifying industry competition; rising raw-material costs.

Initiate coverage of TBEA at BUY,for our target price of RMB33.31,translating to 2026E PE of 22x.We believe the company will likely enter an upcycle across multiple business segments in 2026,with its power transmission&transformation(PTT)business likely to benefit from global high-voltage equipment shortages and accelerate overseas expansion.Moreover,TBEA sees both volume and price growth in its gold business,while turnaround for its coal and polysilicon businesses emerges.We thus expect TBEA to demonstrate strong earnings growth momentum during 2026-2027.
PTT:global expansion likely to pace up amid domestic upcycle
The company is aleading domestic private manufacturer of main transformers and one of the few enterprises in China with integrated service capabilities covering"high-voltage cables+accessories+construction".Overseas,the global high-voltage power equipment market remains undersupplied,with AIDC further widening the S/D gap,ushering in anew era of globalization for domestic high-voltage power equipment companies.TBEA has seen rapid growth in overseas orders,securing contracts exceeding USD700mn in 2023,USD1.2bn in 2024,and USD1.12bn in 1H25(+65.9%YoY).As of 1H25,the company's international EPC projects in PTT had an outstanding contract value exceeding USD5bn.In August 2025,it won aSaudi framework tender worth approximately RMB16.4bn.With the rising proportion of high-margin overseas revenue and potential further price increases amid tight supply,TBEA's transformer business exhibits significant profit upside.Domestically,we expect grid investment during the 15th FYP to rise 47%vs the 14th FYP,with robust main grid tendering and the company's increasing bid win rates likely driving sustained rapid order growth.
Resource products:promising earnings upside on ample reserve
1)Gold:TBEA's gold mine is currently in aphase of rapid capacity expansion,accompanied by both volume and price growth in its gold business thanks to surging gold prices.We estimate production in 2024/2025/2026/2027 at 2.2/2.5/3.0/3.6 tonnes,generating revenue of RMB1.98/3.59/4.64bn in 2025/2026/2027,up 65.9/81.4/29.2%YoY.The company's potential reserves could exceed 100 tonnes,laying asolid foundation for sustained profit contributions going forward.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We forecast TBEA's attributable NP for 2025/2026/2027 at RMB6,737/7,630/10,466mn,representing YoY growth of 62.9/13.3/37.2%,with EPS of RMB1.33/1.51/2.07.Our SOTP-based valuation implies atarget market cap of RMB168.3bn,corresponding to atarget price of RMB33.31,representing 22X 2026 PE.BUY.
