1Q26 Impairment Drag; Silicone Margins Further Expanding
发布时间:2026-05-29 来源:华泰证券
Hoshine Silicon Industry reported 1Q26 revenue of RMB5.0bn,-4%YoY/-5%QoQ.,attributable NP of RMB77.3mn,-70%YoY/+103%QoQ,and ex-nonrecurring net profit of-RMB49.1mn,-123%YoY/+98%QoQ.Considering that the company is aleader in silicon chemicals and has advantages in scale in industrial silicon and silicone,we maintain OVERWEIGHT.
1Q26 silicone ASP+YoY/QoQ,impairments weigh on profit
For industrial silicon,1Q26 sales volume rose by+31%YoY/+20%QoQ to 340kt,driven by higher utilization in downstream polysilicon and silicone.However,the industrial silicon ASP declined,-16%YoY/-4%QoQ to RMB7,900/t.Revenue increased by+10%YoY/+16%QoQ to RMB2.7bn.For silicone,1Q26 silicone rubber sales volume fell by 24%YoY/39%QoQ to 130kt.Benefiting from anti-involution measures across the silicone industry,such as production cuts and price stabilization,the average silicone rubber price rose by+6%YoY/+21%QoQ to RMB12,600/t.Revenue declined by-20%YoY/-27%QoQ to RMB1.7bn.The company recognized asset impairment losses of RMB160mn in 1Q26 and obtained debt restructuring gains of RMB130mn,which were included in non-recurring gains and losses.Benefiting from improved silicone profitability,the company's blended gross margin increased by+4.5pp YoY/+14pp QoQ to 19.1%in 1Q26.The period expense ratio was+3.3pp YoY/-4.8pp QoQ to 12.2%.
Sustained DMC recovery with strengthened balance sheet
According to Baiinfo,the prices of silicon metal 421,silicon metal 553,and silicone DMC were RMB9,700/t,RMB8,800/t,and RMB14,800/t,respectively,on April 24.These were+0%,+0%,and+6%versus end-March.The spreads of silicon metal and silicone DMC were RMB422/t and RMB6,888/t,respectively,up by RMB15/t and RMB636/t versus end-March.We believe competition in the silicon chemical industry is normalizing under anti-involution guidance,which may gradually improve prices and profit.According to the announcement on April 28,the company's RMB5.8bn private placement application was accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange.The proceeds are intended for the Shanshan base 4×75MW thermal power unit project and working capital replenishment.The company continues to optimize its asset-liability structure and is committed to further improving industrial silicon costs.We await abottom-up recovery in the industrial silicon and polysilicon industries.
Earnings forecast and valuation
Considering that impairment for the company's PV-related assets may decline going forward,we largely maintain our previous forecasts.We expect attributable NP of RMB1.4bn,RMB1.7bn,and RMB1.9bn in 2026-2028.Our previous forecasts were RMB1.5bn,RMB1.8bn,and RMB2.0bn,implying cuts of 5%,4%,and 4%.This corresponds to EPS of RMB1.18,RMB1.43,and RMB1.64,and BVPS of RMB25.92,RMB27.25,and RMB28.79.Combining the comparable-company average of 2.03x 2026E PB under Wind consensus,we apply amultiple of 2.03x 2026E PB and derive atarget price of RMB52.62(previously RMB52.22,based on 2.01x 2026E PB).Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Risks:continued weakness in downstream silicon demand;fundraising progress missing our expectations.
