Lixil New Energy surged in a straight line and hit the daily limit up within one minute, closing at 13.52 yuan per share with a total market value of 12.619 billion yuan. Earlier, Xinzhonggang and Chenzhou Electric Power International had already hit their daily limit up, while Huadian Liaoning Energy and GCL Energy rose in tandem. On the news front, the 2026 Green Computing and Artificial Intelligence Conference opened in Hohhot on August 22. Data showed that in 2025, electricity consumption by China's computing facilities reached 170 billion kilowatt-hours, up about 30 percent year on year. The National Energy Administration expects that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, national computing electricity consumption will increase by an average of more than 100 billion kilowatt-hours per year. Lixil New Energy mainly operates wind power and photovoltaic power generation. In the first half of the year, its operating revenue was 644 million yuan, up 29.75 percent year on year, and net profit was 73.0239 million yuan, up 715.75 percent year on year. The profit growth was mainly driven by the grid connection and operation of the Xinjiang power transmission project by an associated company and an increase in new energy subsidy payments received.

Lixinnengyuan released its 2026 interim report, with net profit attributable to the parent company of 73.0239 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 715.75%. Total operating revenue was 644 million yuan, up 29.75% year-on-year. Net cash inflow from operating activities was 284 million yuan, up 84.63% year-on-year, achieving growth for two consecutive years.

Lixinnengyuan has released its 2026 half-year report, showing recurring net profit jumped 1,568.33% year-on-year in the first half. The company achieved operating revenue of 644 million yuan, up 29.75% year-on-year; net profit attributable to shareholders of 73.02 million yuan, up 715.75%; and recurring net profit of 70.31 million yuan, landing in the higher range of its earnings forecast. The profit growth was mainly driven by increased investment income as the third channel project for transmitting Xinjiang power to other regions, in which an associated company participates, gradually connected to the grid, as well as a reduction in credit impairment losses due to higher collections of new energy subsidies. Following the earlier earnings forecast, the company's share price hit the daily upper limit seven times in nine trading sessions, surging nearly 120% cumulatively, with the latest total market capitalisation at approximately 12.3 billion yuan. The company also cautioned that the expansion of market-based electricity trading and declining electricity prices could affect future performance, and that as of the end of June, outstanding subsidy receivables stood at about 3.135 billion yuan, accounting for 95.38% of accounts receivable, posing a risk of further impairment provisions.

As of now, 22 companies in the Shenzhen-listed utilities sector have disclosed earnings forecasts. More than half reported year-on-year profit growth, and 10 saw net profit rise by over 50%, with overall profitability improving markedly.

Chuanneng Power expects net profit attributable to the parent of 650 million to 720 million yuan, up 112.41% to 135.29%, mainly driven by the commissioning of lithium mining and lithium salt projects and the grid connection of wind power projects. Fuchun Environmental Protection expects net profit attributable to the parent of 298 million to 335 million yuan, up 60% to 80%, with higher product prices in the non-ferrous metal resource recycling business as the main driver. Lixin Energy expects net profit attributable to the parent of 60 million to 80 million yuan, up 570.26% to 793.68%, as the grid connection of a joint venture's outbound power transmission project from Xinjiang led to a sharp increase in investment income. Changyuan Electric Power expects net profit attributable to the parent of 149 million to 215 million yuan, up 57.14% to 126.74%, benefiting from lower standard coal unit prices and higher average electricity selling prices. Hunan Development expects net profit attributable to the parent to rise 318.91% to 391.77% year on year, following the completion of a major asset restructuring that brought four hydropower companies into the consolidated financial statements and significantly expanded hydropower installed capacity. Overall, in the first half of 2026, the Shenzhen-listed utilities sector achieved broad-based growth across sub-sectors such as power, new energy, and environmental protection. Many companies benefited from multiple tailwinds including project commissioning, abundant water inflows, lower fuel costs, and asset restructurings, delivering relatively rapid profit growth.

The growth was mainly driven by an increase in investment income from the grid connection and commissioning of the third-channel power generation project under the Xinjiang Electricity Transmission initiative by an associated enterprise, as well as a significant reduction in credit impairment losses due to higher collections of new energy subsidies.

Lixiang New Energy hit its daily limit up in three minutes, with its share price reaching 8.27 yuan and its latest market capitalization at 7.7 billion yuan. It has now posted a straight-line daily limit up move for two consecutive days. Lixiang New Energy expects its attributable net profit for the first half of 2026 to be between 60 million and 80 million yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 570.26% to 793.68%. This is mainly due to increased investment income from the gradual grid connection and commissioning of the third-channel power generation project under the Xinjiang-to-other-provinces electricity transmission scheme, which belongs to its associate company Xinjiang Huadian Tianshan Power Generation, as well as an increase in the collection of new energy subsidies that reduced credit impairment losses. In terms of news, data from the National Energy Administration showed that total electricity consumption in June reached 898.1 billion kilowatt-hours, up 3.7% year on year. For the first six months, cumulative consumption reached 5.0999 trillion kilowatt-hours, up 5.3% year on year.

Lixiang New Energy disclosed its performance forecast, estimating net profit attributable to the parent company for the first half of 2026 at 60 million to 80 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 570.26% to 793.68%. Deducted non-recurring net profit is expected to be 57 million to 77 million yuan, up 1252.41% to 1726.94% year-on-year. Basic earnings per share are projected at 0.0643 to 0.0857 yuan per share. The performance growth is mainly due to increased investment income from the gradual grid connection and operation of the third channel power generation project under the associate company Xinjiang Huadian Tianshan Power Generation Company, which is part of the Xinjiang power transmission initiative, as well as a reduction in credit impairment losses due to higher collections of new energy subsidies.
