Wind Installations & Offshore Tenders to Drive Earnings Recovery
发布时间:2026-09-29 来源:华泰证券
We expect a recovery in wind-power installations to support the company’s earnings. Monthly new installations remained elevated from June through August, while turbine tenders continued in Guangdong, Liaoning, and other provinces, pointing to a potential recovery in turbine demand. In 1H26, lower deliveries of wind-power castings and forgings weighed on revenue, which decreased to RMB2.323bn (-8.36% YoY). The attributable NP was RMB12mn (-93.33% YoY), and the ex-nonrecurring attributable NP was RMB11mn (-93.67% YoY). Lower capacity utilization raised fixed costs per unit, putting near-term earnings under pressure. We expect earnings to recover as offshore wind developments move into construction and equipment tendering and the company advances its high-end product strategy. Maintain BUY.
Wind-demand recovery could support orders
We expect an incremental improvement in wind-power demand to benefit the company. According to the National Energy Administration, China’s cumulative installed wind-power capacity reached 693GW in August, up by 19.6% YoY. In the development pipeline, the EPC contract award results for Huaneng’s Yingkou Y1 and Y2 offshore wind projects were announced on 15 September. Once the projects are operational, they are set to generate approximately 2.4bn kWh of clean electricity annually, with full-scale construction scheduled to begin in 4Q26. Guangdong also launched competitive allocations for offshore wind projects in Yangjiang, Shanwei and other areas in July 2026, totaling 11.2GW. This points to faster implementation of large-scale deep-water offshore wind projects under the 15th Five-Year Plan. As offshore wind developments enter construction and equipment tendering, the company—one of China’s few suppliers covering the full wind-power casting and forging value chain—could benefit from a recovery in downstream orders.
Maintain BUY
We lower our volume and gross margin assumptions for advanced basic materials and wind-power mechanical components to reflect weaker downstream demand, fewer wind-power orders, and the gross margin drag from lower capacity utilization. We now estimate attributable NPs of RMB30mn, RMB73mn, and RMB115mn for 2026, 2027, and 2028, down by 88.8%, 78.8%, and 73.8% from our previous estimates, respectively. Our corresponding BVPS estimates are RMB16.93, RMB17.16, and RMB17.49. With earnings near a cyclical trough, we think that book value better reflects the company’s value and switch to a PB-based valuation. Peers trade at an average of 1.08x 2026E PB on iFinD consensus; applying 1.08x 2026E PB yields our target price of RMB18.36 (previously RMB22.94, based on 23.9x 2026E PE). The stock’s current PB is at the 15th percentile of its range over the past five years. The recovery in wind installations from June through August and continued tendering for large offshore wind developments could signal a turning point in downstream demand. Over the longer term, rising volumes of high-end products such as specialty alloys and nuclear-power rotors could support a higher PB valuation anchor as earnings recover. Maintain BUY.
Risks: commodity price volatility, weaker policy implementation than we expect, weaker downstream demand than we expect.
