China Power International (2380 HK): Firing on All Cylinders

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • China Power International (2380 HK) kicked off FY24 with an impressive 51.5% surge in 1H24 net profit. All business segments improved YoY, with hydropower being the best. 
  • Both volume growth and cost reduction are the key drivers, supporting a 7.2pp gross margin expansion. The 5pp increase in the proportion of hydropower sold also lifted profitability.
  • CPI will grow its capacity to 52GW by end FY24, a 15.5% YoY and 7.8% HoH increase. Moreover, the upside will come from more asset injection from its parent.
