China Longyuan's 3Q Earnings Miss Unlikely to Be a Big Concern -- Market Talk

Dow Jones Newswires ·  Oct 28, 2021 03:49

0749 GMT - China Longyuan Power's weaker-than-expected 3Q earnings aren't likely to raise big concerns about the renewable-energy company's fundamental operations, Citi says. The company's 3Q net profit fell 7.6%, missing investor hopes, mainly due to lower wind-farm utilization amid unfavorable weather conditions, as well as losses in its coal-fired power plants due to sharply higher coal prices. Citi reckons both factors are temporary, as weather could improve next year and coal-fired power generation isn't Longyuan's main business. Citi also sees positive sentiment from the upcoming A-share listing of Longyuan, which could raise the stock's overall valuations. Shares are down 2.6% at HK$18.02. (yifan.wang@wsj.com)
