Key Points and Arguments Onshore Wind Turbine Market - Onshore wind turbine delivery gross margins are expected to recover by 2026, with overseas exports contributing to higher gross margins and lower expense ratios, potentially leading to net profits exceeding expectations [1][2]. - The average price of wind turbines is projected to increase by 3-5% in 2025, with some private manufacturers reporting increases over 5% compared to 2024 [8][9]. - The recovery of gross margins is anticipated to be gradual, with an annual increase of 2-3% deemed reasonable and healthy [9]. Offshore Wind Power Development - The offshore wind power sector is expected to grow significantly, driven by the "14th Five-Year Plan," with an anticipated addition of approximately 20 GW annually, totaling 100 GW by the end of the plan [1][4]. - By the end of 2025, cumulative bidding for offshore wind power is expected to reach about 5.53 GW, despite a year-on-year decline [4][6]. - The UK, Denmark, and the Netherlands are leading the European offshore wind market, with increased policy support expected to sustain a compound annual growth rate of 28-29% in the coming years [5]. Market Dynamics and Trends - The cumulative bidding volume for the wind power industry as of September 2025 is 78.36 GW, reflecting a 23% year-on-year decline, with onshore wind down 22% and offshore wind down 34% [6]. - The impact of the 136 document on the wind power industry has led to market fluctuations, with a notable decrease in bidding volumes in June and July, followed by a recovery in August [7]. Company Performance Predictions - Major companies in the wind power sector are expected to report strong performance in Q3 2025, with core companies anticipating a year-on-year growth rate of around 100%, while others expect over 50% growth [11][12]. - Specific company forecasts include: - Goldwind (金风科技) is projected to achieve a profit of approximately 4.5 billion yuan in 2026, with a target market capitalization of around 67.5 billion yuan [14]. - Oriental Cable (东方电缆) is expected to report profits of 2.1-2.2 billion yuan in 2026, with a target market capitalization of over 50 billion yuan [15]. - Zhongtian Technology (中天科技) is forecasted to achieve profits of about 4.2 billion yuan in 2026, with a target market capitalization exceeding 70 billion yuan [16]. Future Outlook - The wind power industry has potential for further valuation increases, contingent on exceeding offshore wind planning volumes and breakthroughs in export orders, particularly high-value contracts [18]. - The overall sentiment is optimistic regarding the recovery and growth of the wind power sector, with expectations of improved profitability and market conditions in the coming years [1][12]. Additional Important Insights - The stability of pricing in the offshore wind market is noted, with prices for turbines ranging from 2,500 to 3,500 yuan depending on specifications [10]. - The focus on lifecycle return stability among owners is reducing the prevalence of lowest-bidder scenarios, indicating a shift in market dynamics [9].
