Half‑Year Profit of C¥49.6m After Prior Loss

• For 1H 2025, net income excluding extra items came in at C¥49.6 million, compared with a net loss of C¥363.2 million in 1H 2024, while revenue over the same halves moved from C¥2,832.3 million to C¥2,502.6 million.
• What stands out for a bullish view is that this swing into profit in the latest half sits alongside trailing 12 month figures that still show a net loss of C¥120.6 million, which means:
  • Supporters who focus on improving half year profitability can point to the C¥412.8 million shift in net income from 1H 2024 to 1H 2025, even as the longer period remains loss making.
  • Skeptics can respond that the trailing 12 month loss shows the business is not yet consistently profitable, so the recent half year profit on its own does not settle the bullish argument.

Bulls and bears are drawing very different lessons from this swing into profit in the latest half, and the full community view helps you see both sides of that debate in one place. 📊 Read the what the Community is saying about Shandong Hi-Speed Holdings Group.

Trailing 12 Month Loss Still C¥120.6m

• Across the latest trailing 12 months, net income excluding extra items is a loss of C¥120.6 million on C¥5,027.4 million of revenue, with basic EPS at C¥0.008956 for the earlier 2024 2H snapshot but C¥0.0893 loss per share in the most recent 2025 2H figure.
• Critics who take a bearish stance focus on this continuing loss profile and see tension with the recent profitable half, because:
  • The C¥423.7 million net income in 2H 2024 contrasts sharply with the trailing 12 month loss, which suggests that positive periods have been offset by weaker ones rather than a clean break into sustained profitability.
  • The shift from C¥466.7 million net income in the earlier trailing 12 month snapshot to a C¥120.6 million loss in the latest set of trailing 12 month data underlines that earnings have moved around quite a bit, which feeds into the bearish concern about earnings durability.

DCF Fair Value Sits 76% Above Share Price

• The current share price of HK$1.44 compares with a DCF fair value of HK$2.54, implying the stock trades about 43.2% below that DCF estimate, while the P/S ratio of 1.5x stands above the Hong Kong renewable energy industry average of 0.8x and is in line with peers at 1.5x.
• Supporters of a bullish case lean on this valuation gap, yet the numbers also bring out trade offs that matter for you as a shareholder:
  • The roughly 43.2% discount to the DCF fair value suggests the market price is materially lower than that modelled cash flow value, which is the core of the bullish argument.
  • At the same time, paying a P/S of 1.5x when the broader industry averages 0.8x shows the market already values each unit of revenue more highly than many peers, which tempers how strong that DCF upside may look when set against current profitability and sector pricing.
