Chinese Power Utilities Offer Unattractive Valuations, Limited Growth Upside -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-09 16:30

0830 GMT - Chinese power utilities' valuations look unattractive and investors should wait for better entry points, Morningstar director Chokwai Lee says in a note. Shares of Chinese utilities companies covered by Morningstar have fallen by about 3% on average since late October following third-quarter earnings declines. Lee notes that weaker power tariffs will likely offset benefits from faster subsidy collections, which may or may not continue into 2026. While AI adoption is expected to increase power demand, gains will likely be offset by declining tariffs and power curtailment risks stemming from grid constraints, with any earnings upside likely limited. Morningstar prefers China Longyuan for its leadership position in the renewables segment, and says China Resources Power and Xinyi Energy offer decent dividend yields of about 5%-6%.
