1Q26: Revenue Inflection Emerged
发布时间:2026-06-01 来源:华泰证券
MayAir Technology's (MayAir) 2025 revenue was RMB1,929mn (+11.97% YoY); the recurring net profit (NP) was RMB86.90mn (-51.09% YoY); the attributable NP fell by 36.93% YoY to RMB121mn, missing our estimate of RMB233mn, mainly because the downstream semiconductor industry's capex entered a weak short-term cycle, competition intensified, and the recognition of revenue from some terminal exhaust treatment equipment was sluggish. These negative factors led to slower-than-expected revenue growth and weaker profitability. For 4Q25, revenue was RMB443mn (-14.98% YoY, -19.74% QoQ), and the attributable NP was -RMB19.79mn (-145.57% YoY, -146.17% QoQ). As domestic semiconductor and panel companies launched tenders in 4Q25 and the company’s overseas business continued to make inroads, we expect order fulfillment and revenue recognition progress to recover in 2026. Maintain BUY.
Downstream investment slowdown dented FFU revenue/GPM
In 2025, revenue from cleanroom products such as fan filter units (FFUs) was RMB1,590mn (+4.86% YoY), with a GPM of 27.8% (-2.46pp YoY). CM Hi-Tech Cleanroom was consolidated at the beginning of 2025, contributing RMB350mn to revenue and RMB51mn to profit. Excluding CM Hi-Tech Cleanroom, organic FFU product revenue dropped by approximately 18% YoY, mainly as short-term uncertainties over foreign trade slowed the tendering and bidding progress across downstream semiconductor and panel companies and intensified competition weighed on profit. Revenue from other equipment rose by 64.25% YoY to RMB339mn, mainly because the company provided supporting explosion-proof removal systems and terminal exhaust treatment solutions for leading lithium-ion battery companies’ exported products. Its GPM fell by 7.82pp YoY to 17.08%, mainly due to delayed revenue recognition caused by factors such as overseas transportation and non-standard products.
Cash flow showed healthy improvements in 2025
In 2025, the company accelerated its overseas market penetration and entered the core global semiconductor supply chain. Overseas revenue climbed by 37.15% YoY to RMB312mn. In 2025, overall expenses rose by 31.8% YoY to RMB366mn, and the overall expense ratio increased by 2.85pp YoY to 19.0%. Specifically, sales expenses increased on rigid expense growth resulting from customer development in the early stage of overseas expansion. The increases in administrative and R&D expenses were mainly due to equity incentive expenses. In 2025, the net operating cash flow was RMB303mn, an improvement of RMB508mn YoY and turning from cash outflow to inflow, mainly because the company strengthened its accounts-receivable management.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering the rapid tendering and bidding progress for plant construction in semiconductor, new energy, and panel industries in 1Q26, we raise our 2026/2027 attributable NP forecasts by 5.93/9.45% to RMB314/417mn and add our 2028 forecast of RMB542mn (three-year CAGR: 64.76%), with 2026/2027/2028 EPS of RMB2.32/3.09/4.00. Considering MayAir’s positioning as a scarce air purification equipment name in China, its proactive overseas expansion, and its solid earnings growth potential driven by the capex boom in advanced industries both domestically and internationally, we value the stock at 35x 2026E PE, above its peers’ average of 25x on Wind/Bloomberg consensus. Our target price is RMB81.26 (previous: RMB61.75, based on 28x 2026E PE).
Risks: Intensified global trade frictions; steeper capex cuts than we expect; prolonged client payment cycles.
