Shanghai Tunnel Engineering has released its annual report.For 2025,revenue was RMB57,927mn(-15.82%YoY)and attributable net profit was RMB2,214mn(-22.07%YoY),below our estimate of RMB2,980mn,mainly due to the revenue decline and asharp YoY drop in investment income.For 4Q25,revenue was RMB23,532mn(-9.19%YoY,+90.17%QoQ)and attributable net profit was RMB1,004mn(-25.11%YoY,+108.03%QoQ).While 2025 was achallenging year operationally,the company maintains its resilience as aShanghai SOE with 87%of revenue concentrated in high-quality regions–the Yangtze River Delta,Guangdong,Hong Kong&Macau SARs,and Singapore.It is also pivoting toward an operation-driven model.On 22 April,the Dongfanghong Tunnel Engineering Expressway REIT was listed.The launch helps the company shift its infrastructure investment model from asset-heavy to asset-light,operating under aclosed loop of“investment–construction–operation–asset listing”.By monetizing assets,it can sustain steady growth in construction and investment scale,driving agradual improvement in the operating mix,in our view.Maintain BUY.

Earnings forecasts and valuation
Given the medium-to-long-term slowdown in construction investment and the company’s strategic pivot toward an operation-driven model,we lower our future traditional construction revenue estimates.We revise our 2026/2027 attributable net profit estimates to RMB2,293/2,361mn(-26.59%/-27.49%vs our prior estimates)and add our 2028 estimate of RMB2,422mn.Using asum-of-the-parts approach and based on peer-average valuation multiples,we assign 6.7/49/13x 2026E PE to the construction/information-based operations/asset-heavy operations segments(on our 2026E net profit estimates of RMB1.65/0.25/0.40bn).Our target price is to RMB9.04(previous:RMB10.30,on 2025E peer-average multiples of 8.5/32/13x PE).Maintain BUY.
