China Longyuan Power (916 HK) will see accelerating earnings momentum in the rest of the year - after a weak start due to high base for YoY comparison.
We believe the combination of increase in utilisation hours, growth in installed capacity, improvement in power tariff and better cash flow and cost performance are the major drivers.
Share price has been weak in this year, and has returned the stock to less demanding level of 13.3x FY22 PER which we think cannot adequately reflects earnings prospects.
