2025 DPR reached 43%
For 2025,dividend per share(DPS)was RMB1.05(2024:RMB0.80,+31.25%YoY),and the dividend payout ratio(DPR)was 43.39%(2024:39.20%,+4.19pp YoY).Grandblue promised that even if the total share capital increases in 2026,it will stick to its shareholder return plan(DPS YoY growth of no less than 10%),demonstrating its determination to reward shareholders.On 24 April 2026,Grandblue announced that it plans to acquire 100%of the property shares of the high-quality fund through share issuance and cash payment,thereby obtaining a43.48%equity stake in Grandblue Foshan.It also plans to purchase a7.22%equity stake in Canvest held by Zhenda Development through share issuance and cash payment,and raise matching funds.If this transaction is successfully implemented,Grandblue will acquire a100%stake in Canvest.We believe that the 100%consolidation of Canvest could effectively boost Grandblue's earnings and cash flow.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We project 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP of RMB2,300/2,438/2,569mn(+1/+2/-%vs previous forecasts),implying EPS of RMB2.82/2.99/3.15.Considering the company's high-quality assets,growing earnings,synergy effects from the Canvest consolidation,and promised 2026 DPS growth of no less than 10%YoY,we value the stock at 15.2x 2026E PE,above its peers'average of 12.7x on Huatai estimates(previous:12.5x).Our target price is RMB42.98(previous:RMB41.70,based on 15.0x 2026E PE).Maintain BUY.
Risks:Weaker post-acquisition synergy than we expect,slower receivables collection than we expect,reduction or cessation of power tariff subsidies.
