The investment income from the joint venture and joint venture company becomes positive, and the company's joint venture thermal power company and Guodian United Power Technology Company are expected to reverse losses.
In recent years, the company's investment income from joint ventures and joint ventures has been negative for a long time, mainly due to the sustained losses of Jiangsu Nantong Power Generation and Guodian United Power Technology Co., Ltd. in the first three quarters of 2003, the company's investment income from joint ventures and joint ventures was 8 million yuan, of which 69 million yuan in the third quarter was the highest for the company since 2000. The two major loss-making equity companies are expected to reverse their losses.
The announcement intends to buy back no more than 10% of the shares in Hong Kong, demonstrating the major shareholders' recognition of the value of the company. The company announced in September that it intends to buy back no more than 10% of its shares in Hong Kong stocks. against the background of the global carbon neutralization trend, we analyze that this buyback demonstrates the major shareholders' recognition of the value of the company on the one hand, and on the other hand, we analyze that the company's recent stock price correction is related to the lack of liquidity in the Hong Kong stock market. Major shareholder buybacks will inject liquidity into the company's Hong Kong shares.
Profit forecast and rating: combined with the results of the three quarterly reports in 2003, we maintain the company's home net profit forecast of 78.9,90.0 and 10.116 billion yuan respectively in 2003-05, with the current share price corresponding to 8 times, 7 times and 6 times of PE. We believe that the company's current share price has a high margin of safety and maintains a "buy" rating.
Risk hint: the wind condition is not as good as expected, and the rate of return of the new project is not as expected.
