In particular, the positive performance of the IPO of CTGR is the most important factor, in our view. With potential further upside at CTGR in the near term, we believe Longyuan's strength will likely to hold as well.</p><p>SASAC's approval also marked an important step in Longyuan's proposed absorption and merger with Pingzhuang Energy, allowing it to access the liquidity in the domestic market. This adds to the continued solid wind and overall power generation in May, sustaining the encouraging trend of good underlying business momentum. With Longyuan currently trading on 13.5x FY21F PER, compared with CTGR's 19.5x, we believe its valuation is demanding at all. </p>
