Investment Rating - The investment rating for the company is "Buy" and is maintained [8] Core Viewpoints - The company's controlled nuclear power generation capacity is expected to achieve a total output of 200.8 billion kWh in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 9.66%. However, factors such as declining market transaction prices in some provinces and increased taxes for certain nuclear companies may limit the growth of the nuclear power sector's performance [5][12] - The continuous expansion of renewable energy installations is projected to drive a 31.29% year-on-year increase in renewable energy generation to 43.6 billion kWh by 2025. However, this expansion also leads to significant increases in depreciation and other costs, and the weak pricing of renewable energy, along with a reduced stake in China Nuclear Huineng after capital increase, is expected to continue to pressure the performance contribution from the renewable energy sector [12][12] - Overall, while both nuclear and renewable energy sectors show good performance in terms of generation, the company's annual performance outlook remains stable due to the impacts of electricity prices and taxes [12] Summary by Relevant Sections Event Description - As of December 31, 2025, the company's cumulative operational generation for the year is 244.43 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 12.98%. The target for 2026 is set at 259.2 billion kWh, with nuclear power planned at 210 billion kWh and renewable energy at 49.2 billion kWh [5] Event Commentary - In the fourth quarter, the controlled nuclear power generation reached 49.799 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 4.88%. The growth rate slowed due to maintenance schedules. Excluding the contribution from the newly commissioned Zhangzhou Unit 1, the fourth-quarter nuclear generation saw a slight decline of 0.41% year-on-year. The overall nuclear generation for 2025 is 200.807 billion kWh, achieving a 9.66% increase and meeting the annual generation plan [12] - The company has a strong reserve of nuclear projects, with 18 units under construction or approved, totaling 20.647 million kW, ensuring substantial growth potential in the long term [12] - The earnings forecast for the company has been adjusted, with expected EPS for 2025-2027 at 0.44 yuan, 0.42 yuan, and 0.48 yuan, corresponding to PE ratios of 20.42x, 21.31x, and 18.75x respectively, maintaining a "Buy" rating [12]
