Domestic Onshore Wind Turbine Profitability to Improve
发布时间:2026-09-09 来源:华泰证券
The company has announced 1H26 earnings: revenue came in at RMB17.04bn (-0.6% YoY), and the attributable net profit (NP) was RMB110mn (-81.8% YoY). For 2Q26, revenue was RMB8.37bn (-11.3/-3.3% YoY/QoQ), and the attributable NP came in at RMB90mn (-71.9/+250.9% YoY/QoQ). The company’s 1H26 earnings were within its profit alert range. We attribute the YoY pressure mainly to slower progress in power station transfers and a rise in the expense ratio amid business expansion. We are positive on GPM improvement in China’s onshore wind turbine business, which should support sustained overall earnings recovery. Overseas offshore wind and space-based PV are also likely to open up growth headroom. Maintain BUY.
Wind turbine GPM recovered in 1H26
For 1H26, revenue from wind turbines and related components increased by 28.6% YoY to RMB16.05bn, with the GPM at 10.3% (+4.8pp YoY). External sales of wind turbines reached 8.90GW, including 7.82GW of onshore wind turbines and 1.08GW of offshore wind turbines. We estimate that the wind turbine GPM reached 12.5% in 2Q26 (+4.3pp QoQ), mainly because deliveries of price-hiked onshore wind turbine orders in China effectively offset the increase in raw material costs. Looking to 2H26, we expect deliveries of price-hiked onshore wind turbine orders, along with a higher shipment share from offshore wind and overseas markets, to support a QoQ improvement in the wind turbine GPM.
Domestic/overseas offshore wind turbine orders to contribute
In China, Guangdong was the first province to launch competitive allocation for offshore wind in July 2026, covering Yangjiang/Shanwei/Jiangmen/Zhanjiang, with a total scale of 11.2GW. As Guangdong is the company’s core market, where it has a leading market share, we expect related orders to be released. Overseas, the company has deepened its overseas industry presence, with faster localization in Europe. It has joined offshore wind associations in Germany and Norway and hired several former executives from European energy companies. In South Korea, the company provided a RMB156mn guarantee for its subsidiary Mingyang Korea in August 2026. Mingyang Korea is to act as a subcontractor to UNISON, the EPC contractor for the Gochang offshore wind project in South Korea, and be responsible for key work including wind turbine supply, central monitoring system supply, technical guidance on turbine assembly, and on-site equipment commissioning. We think that this should help the company expand in the South Korean market.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering the pressure on power station generation profitability and slower progress in power station transfers, we lower our 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP forecasts by 9.07/6.88/7.01% to RMB1,366/2,055/3,099mn, with a three-year CAGR of 67.47% and EPS of RMB0.60/0.91/1.37. To reflect the company’s leadership in China’s wind turbine market, as well as the medium- to long-term growth headroom from overseas offshore wind turbines and space-based PV, we value the stock at 21x 2026E PE, above its peers’ average of 13.45x on Wind consensus. We lower our target price to RMB12.60 (previous: RMB17.16, based on 26x 2026E PE), mainly due to the valuation decline of comparable companies. Maintain BUY.
Risks: intensified competition, offshore wind turbine installations falling short of expectations, market expansion falling short of expectations, and slower-than- expected progress in revenue recognition from power station transfers.
