Prudent Provisions Set the Stage for a Recovery
发布时间:2026-05-29 来源:华泰证券
C&D Inc. reported 2025 and 1Q26 results. In 2025, revenue reached RMB671.3bn (-4.28% YoY), and attributable net loss was RMB10.8bn, versus attributable NP of RMB2.9bn in 2024. Due to a significant impact from impairments, results were slightly below the lower end of the range guided in its profit alert, which indicated an attributable net loss of RMB5.2-10.0bn. Ex-nonrecurring net profit was -RMB5.7bn, versus net profit of RMB1.9bn in 2024. The company proposed a full-year dividend of RMB7 per 10 shares. In 1Q26, revenue was RMB140.1bn (-2.53% YoY), attributable NP was RMB701mn (+20.06% YoY), and ex-nonrecurring net profit was RMB623mn (+537.46% YoY). The 2025 earnings decline was mainly dragged by the home furnishing and real estate businesses. Fair value changes and impairment losses in the home furnishing business totaled RMB27.3bn. Real estate was also affected by the settlement mix and impairments, while the supply-chain business developed steadily. In 1Q26, the impairment impact from the home furnishing business narrowed, supporting earnings recovery. From a long-term perspective, we are positive on the company's financing advantages, high-quality land bank, and turnover capability. In particular, continued improvement in real estate product strength may unlock future upside. Maintain BUY.
Supply chain: healthy 2025 volume; pulp weighed on 1Q26
In 2025, the supply-chain operations business generated revenue of RMB508.3bn (-0.12% YoY), and attributable NP was RMB3.3bn (-7% YoY). Operating volume of major commodities reached 230mn tonnes in 2025 (+3% YoY). Steel and agricultural products reached 75mn tonnes (+7% YoY) and 38mn tonnes (+13% YoY), respectively. In 1Q26, the supply-chain operations business generated revenue of RMB131.9bn (+1.98% YoY, +68.3% QoQ), and attributable NP was RMB756mn (-10.9% YoY, -18.1% QoQ). YoY growth in core volume supported revenue improvement, while attributable NP was under pressure mainly due to fluctuations in the pulp market. Looking ahead, we believe the supply-chain business may stabilize and improve, supported by stabilization in the property cycle and continued profitability improvement in upstream industries driven by anti-involution efforts.
Clear financing advantages; maintain BUY
The combination of the firm’s SOE status and its dual core businesses strengthens its financing advantages. In 2025 and 1Q26, C&D Inc. issued RMB12.3bn and RMB5.6bn of public bonds, respectively, with average interest rates of only 2.03% and 1.89%. The 2025 dividend yield reached 7.4%, based on the share price on April 29. As the property cycle is still bottoming, property sales and the profitability of off-balance-sheet projects have declined. We therefore revise down our 2026-2027 attributable NP forecasts. We expect attributable NP of RMB1.7bn, RMB2.5bn, and RMB3.3bn in 2026, 2027, and 2028, down 37.85% and 20.43% from our previous 2026 and 2027 estimates. We forecast BPS of RMB21.05, RMB21.22, and RMB21.64. Comparable companies are trading at an average of 0.59x 2026E PB, based on Wind consensus. The company has made prudent asset impairment provisions. Hence, we apply a multiple of 0.59x 2026E PB and derive a target price of RMB12.42 (previously RMB13.82 based on 0.55x 2026E PB). Maintain BUY.
Risks: Downside risk to real estate sales, downside risk to home furnishing market demand, commodity price volatility.
