1. Core Summary

China XD Electric achieved operating revenue of RMB 12.213 billion in the first half of 2026, up 8.07% year-on-year; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was RMB 688 million, up 15.03% year-on-year; net profit attributable to shareholders after deducting non-recurring gains and losses increased 20.74% year-on-year; gross margin was approximately 24.5%. Profit growth exceeded revenue growth, continuing the improvement trend in gross margin from 17.57% in 2023 to 22.57% in 2025. However, net cash flow from operating activities during the same period was -RMB 297 million, significantly deteriorating from approximately -RMB 29 million in the same period last year, and a gap remains between performance growth and cash collection.

The company's core business is concentrated in UHV AC/DC primary equipment. In 2025, transformers and reactors, together with high-voltage switchgear, accounted for approximately 80% of main business revenue, of which high-voltage switchgear had a gross margin of 27.32% and R&D and testing had a gross margin of 56.06%, serving as important support for the improvement in profit structure. In 2025, overseas revenue increased 54.04% year-on-year, but the overseas gross margin was only 11.96%, lower than domestic business, and the profit quality of overseas scale expansion still needs verification.

The company operates in the power transmission and distribution equipment industry, supported by demand related to power grid investment, cross-regional transmission of new energy, and the construction of new-type power systems. It has advantages including full AC/DC voltage-level product coverage, complete-set delivery for major projects, testing and inspection capabilities, and central state-owned enterprise customer resources. The Chongqing High-Voltage Switchgear Smart Factory project plans to invest RMB 680 million, with China XD Electric holding 55%, but as of the disclosure date of the semi-annual report, no major operating results from it had been seen; no specific asset injection or restructuring plan has yet been disclosed for resolving intra-industry competition.

As of September 11, 2026, the company's share price closed at RMB 12.31, down approximately 8.88% over the past 20 trading days, below MA5, MA10, and MA20, while MACD remained below the zero axis, indicating a weak short-term technical picture; at the same time, the TTM P/E ratio was approximately 46.41x, placing valuation at a relatively high level. Institutions' average forecasts for net profit attributable to shareholders for 2026–2028 are RMB 1.568 billion, RMB 1.928 billion, and RMB 2.322 billion, and market pricing already incorporates relatively high performance growth expectations.

2.3 Position in the Industry Chain Upstream and Downstream, and Cost-Profit Structure

China XD Electric occupies a mid-to-high-end position in the power transmission and transformation industry chain. Its core business is the manufacture of high-voltage, extra-high-voltage, and UHV AC/DC primary equipment, and it extends into system solutions through complete equipment sets, testing services, and engineering contracting. The company has full AC/DC voltage-level product coverage, complete-set delivery capability for major projects, and participation in overseas EPC projects, but overall profitability is still affected by bulk material costs, tender prices, and the performance quality of overseas projects.

• Transformers and reactors mainly require oriented silicon steel sheets, copper conductors, transformer oil, insulating paperboard and other insulating materials, steel structural parts, and supporting accessories.
• High-voltage switchgear and GIS mainly require structural steel, conductive components, contacts, insulating parts, sealing parts, operating mechanisms, and related gas insulation materials.
• Power electronic devices mainly require power semiconductors, electronic components, valve assemblies, control systems, and heat dissipation structural parts.
• Products such as insulators, bushings, surge arresters, and capacitors require insulating materials, metal parts, and electronic components.
• In 2025, the main business cost of the power transmission and transformation equipment manufacturing business was RMB 18.184 billion, of which raw material costs were RMB 15.137 billion, accounting for 83.25% of main business cost; the company did not disclose the breakdown of costs for copper, silicon steel, steel, insulating materials, and electronic components.
• In 2025, procurement from the top five suppliers was RMB 4.877 billion, accounting for 29.94% of total annual procurement; of which related-party procurement was RMB 4.426 billion, accounting for 27.18% of total annual procurement. This data is based on the 2025 annual report; the minutes did not provide other independent sources for cross-verification.
• The company disclosed that there is no situation where procurement from a single supplier exceeds 50% or where it severely depends on a small number of suppliers; however, among the top five suppliers, the amount of related-party procurement is relatively high, and related-party transactions and internal industrial coordination have a certain impact on the supply chain structure.
• The company has a certain technical premium in UHV product technical standards, testing and inspection, and complete-set delivery, but it is generally a cost taker for standardized or bulk materials such as copper, silicon steel, and steel, and it is difficult to fully pass through material price fluctuations.
• Downstream customers include State Grid Corporation of China and its subsidiaries, China Southern Power Grid and related power investment and construction entities, power engineering construction enterprises such as China Energy Engineering Group, central power generation enterprises, local energy groups, overseas grid companies and transmission operators, and overseas EPC project companies.
• In 2025, sales to the top five customers were RMB 12.226 billion, accounting for 51.34% of total annual sales; of which related-party sales were RMB 953 million, accounting for 4.00% of total annual sales. This data was disclosed in the 2025 annual report; the minutes did not use other independent sources for complete cross-verification, and the specific customer composition should be based on the latest annual report.
• The company disclosed that there is no situation where sales to a single customer exceed 50% of total annual sales, nor severe dependence on a small number of customers; however, the top five customers accounted for more than 50%, and customer concentration remains relatively high.
• In the domestic power grid equipment industry, downstream buyer concentration is relatively high, and core orders are usually formed through tendered procurement by State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, and large energy engineering systems. Large buyers have strong creditworthiness and project continuity, but suppliers have limited bargaining power regarding price, delivery, quality, and warranty responsibilities.
• In 2025, the company's domestic main business revenue was RMB 19.131 billion, accounting for approximately 81.5%, with a gross margin of 24.98%; overseas revenue was RMB 4.352 billion, accounting for approximately 18.5%, up 54.04% year-on-year, but the overseas gross margin was 11.96%, lower than domestic business.
• Overseas business is affected by factors such as project performance, overseas engineering costs, exchange rates, local compliance, and after-sales service systems; overseas order growth has been rapid, but profit quality still needs attention.
• As of December 31, 2025, the company's accounts receivable were RMB 9.654 billion, accounting for approximately 40.6% of 2025 operating revenue of RMB 23.756 billion, and approximately 6.39x the 2025 net profit of RMB 1.511 billion; prepayments were RMB 1.312 billion, inventory book balance was RMB 5.385 billion with book value of RMB 5.280 billion, and accounts payable were RMB 9.272 billion. In 2025, net cash flow from operating activities was RMB 2.740 billion, lower than RMB 3.499 billion in 2024. Accounts receivable, work in progress, and finished goods occupy relatively high amounts, reflecting the characteristics of project-based production, settlement with major customers, and phased acceptance; relatively high accounts payable can partially offset working capital occupation.
• Regarding customer concentration, sales to the top five customers in 2025 accounted for 51.34% of total annual sales; regarding supplier concentration, procurement from the top five suppliers in 2025 accounted for 29.94% of total annual procurement. The above ratios are all disclosed in the 2025 annual report; the minutes did not provide other independent sources for cross-verification; the company disclosed that there is no situation where sales to a single customer exceed 50% or procurement from a single supplier exceeds 50%. Because information on the complete composition of the top five customers and suppliers and historical year-by-year comparisons is incomplete, specific details should be based on the latest annual report.

China XD Electric is located in the mid-to-high-end segment of the power transmission and transformation industry chain. It is neither an upstream resource-based enterprise nor a brand enterprise directly facing end consumers; its profitability level lies between midstream equipment manufacturing and high-tech services. Further improving profit margin mainly depends on increasing the share of high-gross-margin products such as high-end switchgear, UHV transformers, converter valves, and testing services, centralized procurement and material cost control, efficiency improvements from intelligent manufacturing, and improving the profit quality of overseas projects, rather than simply expanding the scale of low-gross-margin orders.

5. Share Price Trend and Technical Analysis

5.1 Price Overview

5.2 Technical Indicators

As of September 11, 2026, China XD Electric closed at RMB 12.31, down approximately 2.30% and 8.88% cumulatively over the past 5 and 20 trading days, respectively. The share price retreated after a 20-trading-day high of RMB 14.16 and is in a clear correction phase. Technical indicators show that the share price is below MA5, MA10, and MA20, MACD is below the zero axis and DIF is below DEA, indicating a weak short-term trend; at the same time, RSI6 is 28.9 and the share price is close to the Bollinger lower band, leaving room for a technical rebound after oversold conditions, but RSI12, RSI24, and MACD have not yet jointly confirmed a medium-term trend reversal. Recent turnover has mainly been in the approximately RMB 610 million to RMB 900 million range; on September 11, turnover was RMB 830 million and the volume ratio was approximately 0.88, with no obvious volume expansion and stabilization yet; main capital recorded an overall net outflow over the past 10 trading days, and capital conditions have not yet improved.

5.3 Short-Term Outlook (Next Week, Scenario Projection, for Reference Only)

⚠️ Risk warning: The following content is only a subjective scenario projection based on the closing data of September 11, 2026, historical prices, and technical indicators. It does not constitute investment advice and does not represent a deterministic price forecast.

① Key Technical Levels

② Next-Week Scenarios (Subjective Weights, Not Statistical Probabilities)

• Consolidation and sideways trading (relatively high subjective heuristic weight, approximately 50% to 60%; this weight is based on current technical indicators, price volatility, and capital flow, and is not a statistical probability or model backtest result): reference price range is RMB 12.10–12.60. Trigger conditions are that the share price holds support near RMB 12.10 but cannot break through RMB 12.50–12.60 on increased volume; turnover continues to remain at approximately RMB 600 million to RMB 900 million, and the scale of main capital net outflow narrows. RSI6 is close to the oversold range, leaving room for a technical rebound or sideways repair, but MACD remains below the zero axis and the share price is below MA20, so the focus of observation remains weak consolidation rather than a trend reversal.
• Weaker downside (moderate subjective heuristic weight, approximately 30%; this weight is based on current technical indicators, price volatility, and capital flow, and is not a statistical probability or model backtest result): reference price range is RMB 11.70–12.10. Trigger conditions are that the share price effectively breaks below RMB 12.00–12.10, single-day turnover clearly expands to above RMB 1.0 billion, and main capital continues to record net outflows. If the Bollinger lower band is lost, short-term correction room may expand; if turnover rapidly shrinks after the breakdown, it is necessary to distinguish between a trend breakdown and a brief dip under low liquidity.
• Rebound and strengthening (relatively low subjective heuristic weight, approximately 10% to 20%; this weight is based on current technical indicators, price volatility, and capital flow, and is not a statistical probability or model backtest result): reference price range is RMB 12.60–13.20. Trigger conditions are that the share price regains RMB 12.60 and further breaks through the MA20/Bollinger middle band area of RMB 12.75–12.90; at the same time, turnover continuously expands to above RMB 1.0 billion, main capital turns to consecutive net inflows, and the power grid equipment sector strengthens in tandem. Only when price, turnover, and capital flow improve simultaneously is the short-term rebound closer to trend repair; if only price rebounds while turnover is insufficient, it may still be a technical rebound after oversold conditions.

③ Capital and Liquidity Background

As of September 11, 2026, the turnover rate was approximately 1.32%, and turnover was RMB 830 million; average turnover over the past 10 trading days was approximately RMB 800 million, and excluding the high-volume day of RMB 1.351 billion on September 4, most trading days were concentrated in the approximately RMB 610 million to RMB 900 million range. The top ten tradable shareholders collectively held approximately 63.08% of tradable shares, based on data as of March 31, 2026; China Electrical Equipment Group Co., Ltd. held approximately 2.659 billion shares, accounting for approximately 51.87% of tradable shares. The top ten tradable shareholders also include Stock Connect, ETFs, and index funds, but public data cannot be used to judge whether they still maintained the same holdings on September 11, 2026. The latest shareholder count data was as of June 30, 2026, at approximately 557,300 households, a decrease of 682 from March 31, 2026, or approximately 0.12%. Because top ten tradable shareholder data lags by at least one quarter, the actual structure may already have changed. Combined with turnover rate and turnover data, recent price changes more reflect stock capital gaming; when turnover is insufficient, prices are relatively sensitive to marginal capital, and liquidity changes may amplify price volatility, but the minutes did not provide order book depth or bid-ask spread data, so order book thickness cannot be further confirmed.

A checkable volume confirmation signal is: if turnover reaches or exceeds RMB 1.0 billion for two consecutive trading days while the share price simultaneously stands above RMB 12.60 and main capital records consecutive net inflows, this can be regarded as a clear increase in short-term capital participation; a one-day isolated volume expansion is not sufficient to confirm a trend reversal.

④ Points to Watch (Observation Ideas Only, Not Trading Instructions)

• Observe whether effective support appears at RMB 12.00–12.10, and whether a breakdown is accompanied by turnover expansion. The above are observation ideas, not trading instructions.
• Observe whether the RMB 12.45–12.60 resistance area can be broken with the support of increased turnover. The above are observation ideas, not trading instructions.
• Observe whether the share price regains the MA20 and Bollinger middle band area of RMB 12.75–12.90, and judge the nature of the rebound together with the performance of the power grid equipment sector. The above are observation ideas, not trading instructions.
• Observe whether turnover can reach above RMB 1.0 billion for two consecutive trading days and whether this is accompanied by main capital turning to consecutive net inflows; also pay attention to the next update of top ten tradable shareholder data. The above are observation ideas, not trading instructions.

The above scenario projection is based on the closing data of September 11, 2026 and historical prices and technical indicator calculations. Short-term share prices will also be disturbed by multiple factors such as news, capital conditions, and the broader market environment. Technical indicators themselves have lag and limitations, do not guarantee actual future trends, and do not constitute buy or sell recommendations. Please make independent judgments based on the latest market information and bear investment risks yourself.

• Power grid investment and cross-regional transmission of new energy are important sources of demand. In 2025, completed investment in national power grid engineering construction was RMB 639.5 billion, up 5.1% year-on-year; during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, State Grid fixed asset investment is expected to be approximately RMB 4 trillion, an increase of 40% over the "14th Five-Year Plan." The above data comes from the company's annual report citing industry materials and is not China XD Electric's own forecast.
• Competition in domestic main grid equipment is relatively concentrated, with large state-owned electrical equipment enterprises occupying important positions; participants in distribution networks, smart distribution, and overseas markets are more dispersed, and price, delivery speed, and overseas channel capabilities are relatively important.
• State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, and large energy engineering enterprises usually adopt tendered procurement, and suppliers need to balance price, technology, delivery time, quality assurance, and project services. Technical barriers help increase the probability of qualification and product premium, but do not mean suppliers have complete independent pricing power.
• Industry profits show clear differences in product structure. In 2025, China XD Electric's switchgear products had a gross margin of 27.32%, and R&D and testing had a gross margin of 56.06%, higher than transformers at 18.43% and power electronic devices at 16.49%.
• From 2023 to 2025, China XD Electric's main business gross margin rose from 17.57% to 22.57%, and net margin rose from approximately 4.85% to approximately 6.36%. Profit improvement mainly came from product structure upgrades, improved profitability of transformers and switchgear, contributions from testing services, and material cost control.
• There were adjustments to business classifications from 2023 to 2025. In 2025, the classification adopted was "switchgear, transformers, power electronic devices, R&D and testing," while historical years had classifications such as "electronic power, engineering trade" and "R&D and testing and secondary equipment." Horizontal comparison by business segment should take note of changes in statistical basis.

6.3 Major Competitors

China XD Electric's comprehensive competitive advantages are concentrated in AC/DC UHV primary equipment, a complete product system, complete-set delivery for major projects, testing and inspection capabilities, and central state-owned enterprise customer resources; Pinggao Electric has a relatively high degree of overlap in high-voltage switchgear, TBEA has transformers and power transmission and transformation engineering plus diversified businesses, XJ Electric and NARI Technology are more focused on DC transmission control and protection and secondary equipment, and Sieyuan Electric is more flexible in private mechanisms, conventional high voltage, distribution networks, and overseas markets. China XD Electric's room for profit improvement mainly depends on high-end product mix, tender price management, material cost control, production line efficiency, and the profit quality of overseas projects.

7. Risk Warnings

• Operating cash flow and collection risk: In the first half of 2026, net cash flow from operating activities was -RMB 297 million, clearly deteriorating from the same period last year; as of the end of 2025, accounts receivable were RMB 9.654 billion and inventory book value was RMB 5.280 billion. If project acceptance, settlement, or collection pace for large power grid customers slows, capital occupation and impairment pressure may increase.
• Customer concentration risk: In 2025, sales to the top five customers accounted for 51.34% of total annual sales. The company's main customers are concentrated in State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, and large energy engineering systems. Under the tendered procurement model, its bargaining power regarding price, delivery, quality, and warranty responsibilities is limited, and changes in core customer order pace or tender prices may affect revenue and profit.
• Raw material cost risk: In 2025, raw material costs for the power transmission and transformation equipment manufacturing business were RMB 15.137 billion, accounting for 83.25% of main business cost. The company is generally a cost taker for bulk materials such as copper, silicon steel, and steel. If material prices rise while tender prices and contract terms cannot pass through in a timely manner, gross margin improvement may come under pressure.
• Overseas business profitability and performance risk: In 2025, overseas revenue increased 54.04% year-on-year, but the overseas gross margin was only 11.96%, lower than domestic business; overseas projects also face uncertainties such as engineering costs, exchange rates, local compliance, after-sales service, and performance quality. Overseas scale growth may not necessarily translate into profit growth at the same pace.
• Valuation drawdown risk: As of September 11, 2026, the company's share price was RMB 12.31, with TTM P/E at approximately 46.41x, and the average institutional forecast still implies a 2026 dynamic P/E of approximately 40x; if actual revenue, profit, or gross margin falls below institutional forecasts, the relatively high valuation may amplify share price volatility.
• Weak technical picture risk: The share price fell approximately 8.88% cumulatively over the past 20 trading days, is below MA5, MA10, and MA20, MACD is below the zero axis, and main capital recorded a total net outflow of approximately RMB 144 million over the past 10 trading days; if support near RMB 12.00–12.10 is lost and accompanied by turnover expansion, short-term correction pressure may further increase.
• Project investment and related-party transaction risk: Chongqing XD High Voltage Switchgear Co., Ltd. plans to invest RMB 680 million, with China XD Electric planning to contribute RMB 374 million and hold 55%, with the partner being China Electrical Equipment Group Southwest Co., Ltd.; as of the disclosure date of the semi-annual report, the project had not produced major operating results, and there are subsequent risks that construction progress, capacity ramp-up, market development, and related-party transaction management may fall short of expectations.
• Uncertainty in intra-industry competition integration: The commitment of the company's controlling shareholder China Electrical Equipment Group to resolve internal intra-industry competition has not yet disclosed specific asset injection, business integration, or major restructuring plans, and there remains uncertainty regarding future integration progress, plans, and their impact on the company's business boundaries and resource allocation.

8. Conclusion and Outlook

China XD Electric's growth logic mainly comes from UHV and new-type power system construction demand, product structure upgrades in transformers and high-voltage switchgear, contributions from testing services, and improvements in material cost control and manufacturing efficiency. First-half 2026 profit growth, gross margin, and deducted non-recurring profit performance show that profit improvement is still continuing; in the future, matters such as the Chongqing High-Voltage Switchgear Smart Factory, the wire company capital increase, and overseas localized manufacturing may provide support for capacity layout and business expansion, but order conversion, capacity utilization, and profit contribution of the related projects still need verification through subsequent disclosures.

Whether the company can subsequently deliver on institutional earnings forecasts for 2026–2028 depends mainly on whether revenue growth can continue, whether the share of high-gross-margin businesses such as switchgear and high-end transformers can increase, whether material prices and tender prices remain favorable, and whether overseas business can improve profit quality. In 2025, the top five customers accounted for 51.34% of sales, accounts receivable were approximately RMB 9.654 billion, more than 6x that year's net profit attributable to parent, and operating cash flow turned negative in the first half of 2026. Collection and working capital management will be important observation points for profit realization.

The company has established annual and interim dividend arrangements, and the 2026 interim plan is to distribute RMB 0.55 per 10 shares, but both current valuation and technical conditions show that the market has relatively fully priced in growth expectations, and the share price is still in a correction phase. In the future, comprehensive attention should be paid to orders and project execution, operating cash flow, overseas business gross margin, major related-party transactions, and progress in resolving intra-industry competition. Long-term operating performance should not be judged solely based on industry policies or short-term profit growth.
