Xinjiang Goldwind Science &amp; Technology H (2208 HK) is a prime candidate to benefit from the growth in demand for wind power installation and generation in China's "Dual Carbon" policy.
It has healthy order backlog equals to 1.3x FY20 sales, potential for better margin from business mix and product upgrade and sustained wind power capacity growth with solid construction pipeline.
Goldwind is a laggard in YTD performance, and trading on undemanding multiples relative to peers. We also see room for narrowing its underperformance against its A-share in next year.


2022 High Conviction: Xinjiang Goldwind (2208 HK) - Riding The "Dual Carbon" Tailwinds

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-longyuan-power-group-corp-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14215:1" rel="noopener">China Longyuan Power Group Corp (916 HK)</a> achieved a 13.2% YoY growth in power generation for Oct, with wind power generation up by 11.2%. We consider this as a healthy pace as we calculated that the CAGR in wind power is still growing at a CAGR of 12.6% vs. Oct 2019, while it is just 5.6% for coal-fired generation. An earlier-and-colder winter, increase in capacity and lower curtailment are factors driving the 4Q21 outlook, in our view.   In the 3Q21 post-result call, Longyuan indicated that all major operating indicators are performing well - utilisation hours increased, curtailment rate dropped and on-grid tariff improved. While margin has contracted marginally, this is mostly the result from the coal segment, as depreciation and repair and maintenance costs for wind power are just growing in line with capacity. We think these takeaways are positive.

China Longyuan (916 HK): Gathering Pace in 4Q21

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-power-international" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15548:1" rel="noopener">China Power International (2380 HK)</a> (CPI) thinks that power storage in China will stay on in the near term, as supply-side structural issues are further exacerbated by cyclical demand issues. That said, the reform in power tariff will be a major policy direction in the future and will lead to a more market driven power sector in China. In our view, new/renewable energy sub-segment is likely to better place in the industry and we still prefer <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-longyuan-power-group-corp-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14215:1" rel="noopener">China Longyuan Power Group Corp (916 HK)</a>.However, we think CPI is more interesting than many power conglomerates. It has the highest proportion of clean/renewable installed capacity (47.1%) when compared with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-resources-power-holdings-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5385:1" rel="noopener">China Resources Power (836 HK)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/datang-international-power-generation-company-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:3664:1" rel="noopener">Datang International (991 HK)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/huaneng-power-intl-inc-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28:1" rel="noopener">Huaneng Power Intl (902 HK)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/huadian-power-intl-corp-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:2506:1" rel="noopener">Huadian Power Intl (1071 HK)</a>, and this has also protected its 1H21 profit. Its plan to speed up disposal of coal-fired power plants also adds justification to its valuations. Relative to new energy plays' average of 18x PER and 2.1x P/B FY21F, CPI's 11.9x and 0.9x are clearly not expensive.
