24H1 revenue/net profit ratio -2.5%/-0.6% YoY, A/H maintains “buying”

The company 24H1 achieved revenue/net profit due to net profit deducted from mother of 3574/11.4/10.6 billion yuan, -2.5%/-0.6%/-3.0% YoY, 24Q2 achieved revenue of 180.5 billion yuan, -5.0% YoY, net profit/net profit deducted from non-mother of 5.26/4.52 billion yuan, -10.6%/-18.0% YoY, net profit to mother was lower than our expectations (5.8 billion yuan), mainly due to slow investment implementation in the first half of the year . We maintain the company's 24-26 net profit forecast of 25.9/28/30 billion yuan. A/H shares are comparable to the company's 24-year wind consensus average of 5/3xPE. Considering that the company's domestic business focuses on urban renewal, overseas business growth, and strong operational resilience, A/H shares were given 7/4xPE in 24, adjusted the target price for A/H shares to HK$11.13/HK$6.97 (previous value: 14.31/HK$7.01), and maintained the “buy” rating for A/H shares.
