美银证券发表报告称，预期玖龙纸业(02689)将维持高于同业的美元计价利润，但进一步扩大此优势可 能面临挑战。该行微幅下调玖纸2026至2027财年预测，并同步下调目标价8%至6港元。重申"买入"评 级，因认为以7.4倍2026年预测市盈率计，估值具吸引力，且潜在需求加速可能推升利润率，成本优势 亦有助限制盈利下行风险。 美银证券与玖纸首席财务官张元福举行业绩后电话会议。玖纸2025财年下半年业绩超预期，主要归功于 自有纸浆供应带来的成本节省优于预期，而基础箱板纸市场表现持续温和。他粗略估算，2025财年下半 年实现的每吨净利润约129元人民币中，约有80元人民币来自此成本领导优势。 尽管玖纸自有纸浆产量将从2025财年的300万吨增至2026财年预估的470万吨，并于2027年后进一步提 升，但单位成本降低及利润率扩张的效应可能减弱。例如，原本利润最高的广西北海工厂的双胶纸产 品，因拥有新建自有纸浆产能的竞争对手降价、以及作为纸浆原料的国内木片价格从每吨1,000元人民 币涨至1,200元人民币，其每吨净利润已从800元人民币至1,000元人民币降至近期的500元人民币至600元 人民币。为应对潜在的木片短 ...
