发布时间:2026-05-20 来源:华泰证券
For 2025,Jiayou International’s(Jiayou)revenue was RMB8,377mn(-4.3%YoY);the attributable net profit(NP)was RMB1,141mn(-10.6%YoY),in line with our estimate of RMB1,122mn.For 4Q25,revenue was RMB1,806mn(-18.3%YoY,-27.4%QoQ);the attributable NP was RMB267mn(+42.2%YoY,-14.7%QoQ).Looking to 2026,we are optimistic that the company can leverage its high-quality port resources,key accounts(KAs),and cross-border land transport track records.The China-Mongolia logistics and trading segment could benefit from earnings upside potential driven by the recovery of Mongolian coking coal import demand,and ongoing Central Africa projects could unlock asecond earnings growth driver.Maintain BUY.
China-Mongolia trade:coking coal prices under pressure
For 2025,cross-border multimodal logistics service revenue/gross profit were RMB2,396/641mn(-2.1/-14.4%YoY),with aGPM of 26.73%(-3.9pp YoY).Supply chain trading service revenue/gross profit were RMB5,174/542mn(-10.1/-29.0%YoY),with aGPM of 10.47%(-2.8pp YoY).The YoY declines in revenue and gross profit of cross-border multimodal transport and supply chain trading segments were mainly due to weak demand and prices for Mongolian coking coal.According to the General Administration of Customs,in 2025,China imported 60.07mn tonnes of coking coal from Mongolia(+5.8%YoY),but the average import price fell by 40.8%YoY.Especially in 1H25,persistent declines in coking coal prices suppressed demand for Mongolian coal imports,and China’s imports of primary coking coal from Mongolia fell by 16.2%YoY.Despite significant fluctuations in primary coking coal prices and demand,Jiayou handled 7mn tonnes of proprietary primary coking coal trading and provided integrated logistics services for nearly 8mn tonnes of primary coking coal,copper concentrate,equipment,and materials for other clients in Mongolia,demonstrating the operational resilience of its core port asset-based model along the China-Mongolia border.
1Q26:coking coal prices stabilized QoQ
Since 3Q25,domestic coking coal prices have rebounded,driving up both the volume and price of Mongolian coal imports.According to the General Administration of Customs,for 4Q25/1Q26,total coking coal imports from Mongolia were 18.33/18.71mn tonnes(+37.0/+72.2%YoY),with the average price of coking coal imported from Mongolia rising by 7.8/2.1%QoQ.Looking to 2026,we expect the company to maintain its port market share and benefit from the recovery in volume and price of Mongolian coal imports on the back of its high-quality port resources,KA resources,and cross-border logistics operation capabilities.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Given that:1)Mongolian coking coal import demand has resumed strong YoY growth;2)coking coal prices have rebounded QoQ;and 3)The China-Mongolia logistics and trading segment could recover YoY,we raise our 2026/2027 attributable NP forecasts by 25/17%to RMB1,498/1,648mn and add our 2028 attributable NP forecast of RMB1,802mn,with 2026/2027/2028 EPS of RMB1.09/1.20/1.32.We value the stock at 17.2x 2026E PE(previous:21.7x 2025E PE),a 30%premium over its peers’average of 13.2x on Wind consensus.We raise our valuation premium from the previous 20%,considering that:1)as the China-Mongolia trade recovers and African projects gradually contribute stable earnings,the company’s valuation anchor shifts from‘cyclical trading’to‘high-ROE channel-based assets’,which commands an upward revision to its valuation;and 2)the company’s 2021-2025 average ROE was 17.9%,significantly outperforming its peers.Our target price is RMB18.79(previous:RMB17.78).Maintain BUY.
Risks:weaker demand for Mongolian coal than we expect;geopolitical uncertainties;infrastructure construction missing our expectations.
