Huangma Technology(Huangma)reported 2025 and 1Q26 results.In 2025,the company achieved revenue of RMB2.4bn(+3.06%YoY),attributable NP of RMB437mn(+9.76%YoY),and ex-nonrecurring net profit of RMB402mn(+6.75%YoY).In 4Q25,revenue was RMB585mn(-4.27%YoY,-6.55%QoQ),and attributable NP was RMB99.2mn(-11.58%YoY,-16.46%QoQ).In 1Q26,the company achieved revenue of RMB657mn,+8.88%YoY and+12.37%QoQ,and attributable NP of RMB112mn,+10.47%YoY and+13.33%QoQ.The company's 1Q26 net profit was below our expectation of RMB130mn,mainly because the Chinese New Year holiday led to lower-than-expected production and sales growth.Considering the company's product mix optimization,new business expansion,and subsequent capacity ramp-up,we expect its profitability to grow steadily.We maintain our 2026-2027 attributable NP forecasts and maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Volume growth and margin expansion driving 2025 net profit
In 2025,the company continued to deepen its presence in specialty surfactants and high-end functional new materials,while actively expanding into strategic emerging industries.In 2025,the company's sales volume of specialty functional and polymer material surfactants was 195k tonnes,up by 9%YoY,corresponding to revenue of RMB2.4bn,up by 3%YoY.Within this,the strategic emerging segment achieved sales volume of 59.4k tonnes,up by 22%YoY,corresponding to revenue of RMB689mn,up by 13%YoY.Benefiting from lower raw material costs and product mix optimization,full-year gross margin increased by 1.22ppYoY to 26.2%.Due to increases in G&A and R&D expenses,the period expense ratio rose by 1.2pp YoY to 7.3%.
1Q26 NP+YoY/QoQ on favorable mix and capacity ramp
In 1Q26,sales volume of specialty functional and polymer material surfactants was 53.5 tonnes,+13%YoY and+9%QoQ,corresponding to revenue of RMB657mn,+9%YoY and+12%QoQ.Within this,the strategic emerging segment achieved sales volume of 13.6k tonnes,-1%YoY and-3%QoQ,corresponding to revenue of RMB158mn,-5%YoY and+2%QoQ.1Q26 gross margin stood at 28.41%,up by 1.73pp YoY and 2.67pp QoQ.The company is developing growth products in strategic emerging industries,represented by new materials,high-end functional electronic chemicals,new energy,wind power,solar power,and energy storage.With continuous product mix optimization,innovation and expansion of segment products,and the accelerated ramp-up of new capacity at Kaimeike,we expect the company's profitability to achieve steady growth.
Earnings forecast and valuation
Considering subsequent product mix optimization and the launch of new capacity,we maintain our 2026 and 2027 attributable NP forecasts of RMB550mn and RMB630mn,and expect 2028 attributable NP of RMB680mn,implying YoY growth of 26.52%,13.96%,and 8.59%.This corresponds to EPS of RMB0.94,RMB1.07,and RMB1.16.Combining the average 2026E PE of 24x based on Wind consensus for comparable companies,we assign the company 24x 2026E PE,corresponding to atarget price of RMB22.56(previously RMB18.80,which was based on 21x 2025E PE).Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:Downstream demand falls short of our expectations,raw material prices fluctuate,and project progress falls short of our expectations.
