LONGi's H1 loss deepens, but policy and new tech offer hope

H1 loss forecast LONGi expects a first-half loss of 3.4–3.8 billion yuan, part of a sector-wide loss exceeding 13 billion yuan. This confirms the industry's severe oversupply and price wars, weighing on the stock.
Directly explains the company's weak financial performance and negative sentiment.
Excise tax on solar cells China will impose a 2% excise tax on solar cells from April 2027, rising to 4% in 2028. The tax aims to curb overproduction and price wars, which could help LONGi by reducing industry oversupply.
New regulation that could improve industry dynamics and benefit LONGi.
Mandatory standards and anti-cutthroat policies Three mandatory national standards for solar products take effect in January 2027, accelerating the exit of outdated capacity. Combined with anti-cutthroat competition policies, this may lead to a policy bottom and market bottom, supporting LONGi's long-term recovery.
Shows regulatory efforts to rebalance supply and demand, a key driver for LONGi's future profitability.
Perovskite investment LONGi plans to invest 203 million yuan in a 100MW perovskite tandem cell pilot line. This next-generation technology could enhance efficiency and open new markets like space photovoltaics, positioning LONGi for future growth.
Highlights LONGi's innovation and capital allocation to advanced technology, a potential long-term catalyst.

Shanghai Electric: profit growth, record orders, new financing

Profit growth confirmed by interim results First-half net profit rose 18.18% to 970 million yuan on revenue up 16.63%, and operating cash flow more than doubled. Stronger earnings and cash generation support the share price because they show the core business is improving, not just one-off gains.
The interim report confirms the earlier profit forecast and is the clearest evidence of improving fundamentals.
Record new orders, led by energy equipment New orders hit 100.39 billion yuan in the first half, with energy equipment at 64.24 billion. Overseas wins include Dubai elevators, Finland data-center switchgear and UK storage. A large order backlog points to future revenue and supports the stock.
Order intake is the main forward-looking driver of revenue and shows demand strength across segments.
First overseas heavy-duty gas turbine order Shanghai Electric won a 500 MW Malaysia gas turbine project with a 25-year service contract, its first such overseas order. Developers in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam are also interested, opening a new export market for high-value equipment.
This is a new market breakthrough that can add long-term overseas revenue and service income.
New financing: offshore bonds and planned A-share sale The company issued the world's first corporate free-trade-zone offshore bond (1.5 billion yuan at 1.8%) and a green bond, broadening cheap funding. It also plans a private A-share placement, which could dilute existing holders and is still uncertain.
Funding supports growth but the potential share issuance is a real counterweight for investors.
