MayAir has released its 1H26 results:revenue rose 15.46%YoY to RMB1,079mn,attributable net profit fell 14.93%YoY to RMB83mn,and recurring net profit rose 11.07%YoY to RMB83mn.2Q26 revenue was RMB621mn,up 0.55%YoY/35.60%QoQ;attributable net profit was RMB52mn,down 7.85%YoY/up 63.13%QoQ,broadly in line with our estimate of RMB50mn.As domestic semiconductor and panel project tenders are awarded and overseas business keeps breaking through,we expect order intake and revenue recognition to recover in 2026.Maintain BUY.
2Q26 gross margin improved
In 1H26,FFU/other equipment revenue came in at RMB796/284mn,-5.6/+208.9%YoY.Exhaust treatment equipment grew rapidly on customer expansion and lithium battery overseas projects.1H26 blended gross margin was 28.35%,up 0.71pp YoY.FFU/other equipment gross margins were 31.4/19.8%,+3.1/-1.9pp YoY.The FFU margin improvement likely reflects active domestic semiconductor investment in 1H26,which drove strong tendering and abetter competitive environment,plus ahigher mix of consumables,which carry higher margins.2Q26 gross margin was 29.67%,up 3.17pp YoY/3.11pp QoQ.
Expense ratios fell,FX and credit impairment dragged profit
For 1H26,expenses rose 10.77%YoY to RMB177mn,while the expense ratio fell 0.69pp YoY to 16.35%,as scale effects kicked in.The selling/administrative/R&D expense ratios fell 0.77/0.34/0.24pp YoY,while the financial expense ratio rose 0.67pp YoY,mainly because FX movements swung from again ayear ago to aloss this period.1H26 recurring net profit rose 11.07%YoY,with recurring net margin at 7.70%,down 0.3pp YoY.The decline mainly reflected credit impairment losses of RMB18mn,up by RMB18mn YoY,which we attribute to higher short-term receivables as the business scaled up.1H26 operating cash flow was RMB37mn,down 47.67%YoY,mainly on slower collections during the period.
Overseas expansion advances
In 1H26,revenue from the Chinese mainland/outside mainland was RMB923/157mn,+20.9/-8.7%YoY.We attribute the overseas decline to geopolitical disruptions to equipment shipping and delivery cycles,and we expect this to improve as overseas production bases ramp up.MayAir has been pushing its globalization strategy,accelerating penetration in Southeast Asia,South Asia,North America,and Europe.It has entered the global core semiconductor supply chain and passed supplier qualification at several leading international wafer fabs,new energy companies,PV module makers,and premium air-conditioner brands,with commercial operations now underway.It is also expanding into incremental markets such as solid-state batteries,which we expect to gradually raise its revenue growth ceiling over the long term.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We maintain our 2026/27/28 attributable net profit forecasts at RMB314/417/542mn,a 3Y CAGR of 64.76%,implying EPS of RMB2.32/3.09/4.00.Peers trade at an average 2026E PE of 30x(on Wind/Bloomberg consensus).As ascarce domestic air purification equipment play for semiconductor cleanrooms that is also expanding overseas,we expect the company to outgrow peers amid the capex upcycle in new quality productive forces at home and abroad.We assign a2026E PE of 35x and maintain our target price of RMB81.26.
Risks:intensifying global trade frictions,sharper decline in industrial investment than we expect,and longer customer settlement cycles
