Sineng(SZ:300827) Xin Lang Zheng Quan·2025-11-25 10:24Core Viewpoint - The company, Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd., has received approval for a private placement to raise 1.65 billion yuan, which will be used for the industrialization of photovoltaic inverters and energy storage converters, but the reduction in fundraising and project scope raises concerns about the rationality of the expansion plan [1][5][12]. Financial Performance - In the first three quarters of the year, the company reported a revenue of 3.565 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.15%, while the net profit attributable to shareholders was 311 million yuan, up 2.99%, indicating a significant slowdown in profit growth compared to revenue [13]. - The third quarter alone saw revenue of 1.38 billion yuan, with a year-on-year decline in net profit of 21.88% [13]. Debt and Financing Concerns - Despite multiple rounds of financing, the company's debt ratio remains above 70%, significantly higher than comparable companies, leading to skepticism about the true purpose of the fundraising efforts [2][8][12]. - The recent fundraising amount was reduced from 2.55 billion yuan to 1.65 billion yuan, a decrease of 35%, and the scope of the projects was also narrowed [5][12]. Production Capacity and Utilization - The company's production capacity utilization rates for distributed string inverters and energy storage converters are projected to drop dramatically from over 500% to below 50% after the expansion, indicating a potential oversupply situation [10][11]. - The planned capacity utilization rates for 2024 and the first half of 2025 are expected to be 370.53% and 536.55% for distributed string inverters, and 666.26% and 272.79% for energy storage converters, respectively [10]. Cost and Margin Issues - The company's gross margin is consistently lower than that of comparable firms, and rising sales and financial expenses, along with credit impairment losses, have negatively impacted profitability [3][15]. - The inventory impairment provision has been notably low, raising concerns about product competitiveness and the economic viability of the expansion projects [4][16].
