New energy valuation recovery—watch for divergence among market’s top-performing stocks tomorrow!

On the market front, low-valued new energy stocks led gains. The wind power equipment sector topped all sectors for the day: Haili Wind Power and TianShun Wind Energy hit涨停 (trading limit up); Jinlei Shares and Taisheng Wind Energy rose over 10%; Shuangyi Technology, Riyue Shares, and Zhenjiang Shares followed with strong gains. Photovoltaic (PV)概念股 (concept stocks) strengthened after noon: Haiyou New Materials, FOLATE, JunDa Shares, Tongwei Shares, and TCL Zhonghuan all hit涨停. On the news front: First, on October 14, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association convened a special symposium in Shanghai with 16 PV enterprises to prevent vicious, 'internally competitive' overcapacity-driven price wars. On October 18, the Association issued an official WeMedia notice titled “Current Cost Analysis of PV Modules: Bidding Below Cost and Winning Contracts May Violate Laws,” and published its calculation of the minimum tax-inclusive cost for PV modules in October 2024: RMB 0.68 per watt (W). According to Caixin Media, the U.S. Department of Commerce plans to partially revoke anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese PV cells. From a fundamentals perspective, global PV demand continued growing in the first half of 2024—with China’s market standing out notably. Per data released by China’s National Energy Administration, cumulative new PV installations in China from January to July 2024 reached 123.53 GW, up 27.1% year-on-year. According to Infolink, China’s PV module exports totaled 131.9 GW in H1 2024, up 24% year-on-year. Another notable feature of China’s PV market in H1 2024 was the rising share of distributed PV installations. Data shows that centralized PV installations amounted to 49.6 GW (48.4% of total), while distributed PV installations reached 52.88 GW (51.6%).

Stock valuation issues?

• Customer Concentration: Backed by China State Railway Group and CRRC Group, yet actively expanding into diversified customers (e.g., BAIC and SAIC in the new-energy vehicle sector), thereby reducing dependency. • Supply Chain: IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturing) model ensures autonomous chip supply; stable collaboration with Tianyue Advanced on silicon carbide (SiC) materials. • External Risks: Benefits from infrastructure policy support (e.g., railway equipment renewal subsidies), but intensifying competition in the semiconductor industry may compress gross margins. Operational Stability Score: 9/10 Rationale: Dual-business synergy smooths cyclical fluctuations; R&D and capacity expansion enhance risk resilience; SOE background provides resource assurance. III. Pricing Power and Types of Pricing Power Pricing Power Advantages: • Technological Barriers: IGBT chips and sensors certified for automotive-grade applications; SiC modules demonstrate internationally leading performance; traction systems have broken foreign monopolies. • Cost Control: IDM model reduces foundry costs; gross margin improved to 33.5% in Q1 2025. • Brand & Market Share: >50% market share in rail transit traction systems; second-ranked in NEV IGBT market share. Pricing Power Sources: • Belongs to Category b (strong industrial-chain position) and Category d (cost advantage via vertical integration): – Upstream: Strong bargaining power via large-scale procurement and vertical integration. – Downstream: High irreplaceability of premium products (e.g., high-voltage IGBTs for grid and rail transit). Customer Stickiness: • High repeat purchase rate among rail transit clients (due to rigid maintenance-and-repair demand); strong binding with leading NEV clients such as BYD and Hozon—indicating robust stickiness. Pricing Power Score: 9/10 Rationale: Technological leadership and full-industry-chain layout confer strong pricing power, though international competition in semiconductors requires continuous response. IV. Growth Analysis Past Growth Drivers: Reliant on Factor a (industry growth) and Factor b (market share gain): • Rail Transit: Benefited from increased railway investment and release of maintenance demand. • Emerging Businesses: Explosive growth in the new-energy sector drove semiconductor business (2023 installation volume up 49%). Future Growth Sustainability: • Growth Sustainability Coefficient (CZ): 0.7 Basis: Historical profit CAGR = 6.82%; broker consensus forecasts average net profit growth of 18–20% over next three years—but intensifying industry competition may suppress upside, warranting a conservative coefficient. • Capacity & Orders: – Yixing IGBT production line achieved full capacity in 2024; Phase III semiconductor capacity reaches 5 million units/year. – In H1 2025, secured 20 new orders (for NEV electric drive systems). – Contract liabilities not explicitly disclosed, but recent wins include 20 GW of PV inverters and the company’s first EROV order for offshore engineering equipment—signaling robust demand. • Capacity–Cycle Alignment: Semiconductor capacity expansion aligns well with rising NEV demand, though price-war risks require vigilance. • Profit Ceiling: Broker consensus forecasts net profit of RMB 5.35 billion in 2027; discounted at perpetual growth rate of 3%, terminal profit estimated at ~RMB 4.5–5.0 billion. Growth Score: 8/10 Rationale: Emerging businesses offer vast potential, but fierce semiconductor competition implies future growth rates may fall short of historical levels. V. Industry Competition Intensity Porter’s Five Forces Analysis: • Rivalry Among Existing Competitors: Highly concentrated in rail transit (CR > 50%); semiconductor segment faces competition from StarPower Semiconductor and Silan Microelectronics. • Threat of New Entrants: High technological barriers in rail transit; semiconductor entry requires massive capital—moderate threat. • Threat of Substitutes: SiC replacing silicon-based IGBTs is an established tech trend—the company has already deployed accordingly. • Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Chip substrates and other key inputs rely on external procurement, yet long-term partnerships (e.g., with Tianyue Advanced) ensure stable supply. • Bargaining Power of Buyers: Strong pricing power vis-à-vis rail transit clients; must collaborate closely with NEV industry giants when negotiating with new-energy vehicle clients.
