Stable volumes&higher ASP;cost control underpins earnings
The coal business generated revenue of RMB70.7bn in 1H26,accounting for 89.64%of total revenue.Coal production reached 91.17mn tonnes,+4.32%YoY,while sales volume was 122.92mn tonnes,-2.44%YoY.The company’s coal ASP was RMB483.96/t in 1H26,+10.07%YoY.ASP of purchased coal was RMB498.38/t,+5.29%YoY,while that of self-produced coal was RMB477.13/t,+13.49%YoY.The unit all-in cost of raw coal was RMB282.84/tonne,+1.01%YoY.The company delivered effective cost control despite tighter mine-safety inspections,providing asolid cost cushion for earnings.Gross margin in the coal business reached 41.56%in 1H26,+5.24pp YoY,offsetting the impact of a13.74pp YoY decline in the power business’s gross margin.
Safety inspections&Indo policy support thermal coal prices
National raw coal output fell 2.9%YoY on acumulative basis in Jan-Jul 2026,with Shanxi down 10.2%YoY.As of Aug 12,71.9mt of capacity in Shanxi remained suspended,and output at mines that had resumed production averaged 34%below pre-suspension levels.The shutdown of concealed working faces,the removal of outsourced labor,and frequent supervisory inspections are constraining production,leaving limited room for anear-term supply recovery.In Jan-Jun,China imported 89.62mt of thermal coal from Indonesia,accounting for 58.5%of total imports over the period and 4.39%of China's total thermal coal consumption;Indonesia's coal export control policy,effective Sep 1,could bring further import disruptions.Tight supply could push coal prices higher:as of Aug 26,port 5,500kcal,Shaanxi Yulin 5,800kcal and CCI imported 3,800kcal thermal coal prices stood at RMB869/774/612/t,+1.0%/+3.3%/+2.8%WoW and+23.4%/+41.0%/+42.2%YoY.
Quality resources÷nd commitment anchor LT value
The company sits on premium production areas such as northern Shaanxi and Binhuang,with over 97%of its coal resources located in high-quality mining areas,and manages 21 coal mines.In power,it operates large-capacity,high-parameter clean coal-fired units,with total controlled installed capacity of 20.18GW(10.86GW in operation,9.32GW under construction)across 11 managed/controlled power plants,building adual-driver model of"quality resources+clean power".On dividends,the company's payout ratio stood at 61.1%/60.0%/55.2%/58.5%/54.82%in 2021-25,consistently delivering generous shareholder returns and underscoring its dividend appeal.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Given that tight supply should drive coal prices higher and keep them elevated,we raise our ASP forecasts for self-produced coal in 2026–28 to RMB501/t from RMB492/t for each year.We also raise our 2026–28 investment income forecasts,as the company’s investment income increased by 188%YoY in 1H26.Accordingly,we raise our 2026–28 attributable NP forecasts to RMB22.09bn/RMB22.37bn/RMB22.98bn,increases of 9%/7%/7%from our previous estimates,with EPS of RMB2.28/RMB2.31/RMB2.37.Based on the iFinD consensus average of 13.66x 2026E PE for comparable companies,we apply 13.66x 2026E PE to earnings(14.76x previously),and derive our target price of RMB31.13(previously RMB30.80).Maintain BUY.
