Summary of Jefferies Equity Research Report: China Alternative Energy (SNEC 2025 Day 1)
Market Sentiment and Key Developments
- General sentiment is cautious due to domestic demand plummeting after a rush-to-installation phase before May 31. Forward prices face pressure from demand decline, but companies with overseas exposure fare better.
- Factors include ongoing power market reforms, regional disparities in energy development, and increased RE consumption targets. Despite challenges from Notice 136, long-term RE growth (>13.5tn kWh by 2030) supports development, with green hydrogen stimulating installations. Thermal power deceleration and grid-related policies ease installation burdens for utility PV projects.
Power Trading and Regional Insights
- Experts highlight significant provincial variations in PV installation and electricity mechanisms. For instance, Guangdong's spot tariffs in peak hours (up to RMB0.6/kWh) improve IRR for PV projects, while the additionality of mechanism electricity volume varies.
- Guangdong may cancel peak-valley tariff policies at user end, potentially widening daily tariff differences and boosting ESS IRR. Annual 2026 tariff expectations in Guangdong are pessimistic, with a potential decrease to RMB0.372/kWh.
Solar Materials Supply Chain
- Benchmark prices from SMM for N-type poly (CPIA) are RMB36-37/kg and RMB0.701/W, with tight supply leading to reduced inventories. Output quotas and inventories are monitored closely, with risks of price declines due to elevated inventories.
- Wafer sector faces issues like lower utilizations and production adjustments, particularly with technologies like M10L being reduced, opting for G12R instead.
- SMM forecasts lower PV installations this year (245-260GW) compared to prior estimates, with weak 4Q demand due to tariff uncertainties outweighing price cuts.
ESS Demand and Dynamics
- Global ESS demand is strong, with China, US, and EU leading markets. EU's variable tariffs and power outages fuel C&I ESS uptake, while US grid issues drive utility ESS demand, expected to remain strong for at least three years.
- China's potential high peak-valley tariffs (e.g., RMB0.6/kWh) can yield decent ESS IRR, maintaining market appeal.
Notable Companies
- Drinda (002865 CH): Strategic international expansions planned to address US trade barriers, while cautious domestic conditions lead to phasing out underperformers. Overseas markets (India, Turkey) account for major shipments.
- Jinko Solar (JKS US, Buy): Targets capacity upgrades (40-50GW by YE25) with advanced tech, aiming higher efficiency and IRR. US shipments face tariff risks, prompting capacity discussions abroad.
- Daqo (DQ US, Buy): Maintains high poly output with inflated inventories impacting prices. Wafer underutilizations signal potential production adjustments and risks for tier-1 players.
- HZ First (603806 CH, Buy): Overseas growth accelerates, with higher margins and PV film market share increases. Upside from emerging markets counters US installation risks.
Valuation and Risks
- JinkoSolar: Fair value estimate of USD62.01 based on 7x FY26 PE, reflecting normalized NPM. Risks include NYSE volatility, upstream price hikes, installation declines, and trade barriers.
- Daqo New Energy: Base case price target RMB29.96 on 10x FY25 PE, contingent on poly price normalization. Downstream utilizations and installation shortfalls are key risks.
- Overall equity risks include supply chain margins, market sentiment shifts, and currency exposures in overseas operations.
