CICC has released a research report stating that its review of the power equipment sector in the third quarter shows strong momentum in ultra-high-voltage (UHV) construction, with overseas business deliveries expected to accelerate in the fourth quarter.
Third-quarter revenue was solid while profitability came under some pressure. In terms of year-on-year revenue growth by segment, primary equipment rose 19.7%, secondary equipment rose 12.5%, grid digitalization rose 1.3%, and smart power distribution and consumption fell 6.3%.
The report notes that domestic UHV construction is accelerating and the overseas expansion boom continues. In the first nine months, national grid project investment completed rose 5% year on year; this year's UHV approvals covered "three direct current and four alternating current" projects, and State Grid's power distribution and consumption tendering improved. Overseas grid demand remains robust, with China's transformer export value rising 25% year on year in the first nine months, and the bank is bullish on Chinese power equipment companies accelerating their global footprint.
The bank maintained its earnings forecasts, ratings, and target prices for all covered companies unchanged.
