On June 16, CR Power (China Resources Power) fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at HKD 19.16/share, with turnover of HKD 187 million. The decline was driven by a combination of weakening earnings at its new energy subsidiary and broad-based selling across the independent power producer sector.
On the news front, CR New Energy — the subsidiary CR Power plans to spin off and list on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange — recently issued a profit warning showing Q1 net profit attributable to shareholders declined 31.07% year-over-year, with revenue down 2.81% to RMB 6.211 billion. The company cited declining grid-connected electricity tariffs, reduced power generation utilization hours, subsidy adjustments, and rising costs from capacity expansion as key factors compressing overall gross margin to 46.68%.
The broader sector saw synchronized declines, with CGN New Energy down 3.86%, Huaneng Power down 3.54%, China Power down 3.12%, Datang Power down 3.05%, and CGN Power down 2.01%. Daiwa maintained a Hold rating on CR Power, noting that while the IPO spinoff progress is a positive catalyst, market focus has shifted to electricity tariff trends and earnings visibility.
