New nuclear approvals lift pipeline, but first-half profit drops sharply

This is the main new positive force expanding the company's growth pipeline.
10.3 billion yuan procurement for high-temperature reactor project A subsidiary plans to buy contracting services for the Jiangsu Xuwei nuclear heating and power plant's high-temperature reactor phase one.

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.
