The release of FY2025 results by Chinese independent power producers (IPPs) confirmed BofA Securities’ concerns regarding declining feed-in tariffs (FITs) and utilization hours, according to BofA Securities' research report. The broker favored hydropower > nuclear power > wind/solar > thermal IPPs, and downgraded HUADIAN POWER (01071.HK) to Underperform due to higher coal costs.

The wind power supply chain continued to benefit from growth in high-margin export business, thereby supporting BofA Securities’ Buy rating on ORIENT WIRES & CABLES (603606.SH) and its recent upgrade of GOLDWIND (02208.HK) to Buy.

The broker also reiterated ratings at Buy on EB ENVIRONMENT (00257.HK) and GUANGDONG INV (00270.HK) following their better-than-expected results. BofA Securities adjusted target prices for several stocks in the sector, as detailed below:
