Hongqiao Holdings’ net profit came in at RMB15.6bn (up 77% YoY) in 1H26, inline with the profit alert announced in Jul. The results imply 1.2x YoY growth ofnet profit in 2Q26. The earnings growth in 1H26 was much higher than that ofChina Hongqiao (1378 HK, BUY), as (1) Hongqiao Holdings’ expense growthwas less than that of China Hongqiao, and (2) Hongqiao Holdings does not ownbauxite asset (weak bauxite price in 1H26). We revise up our 2026E/27E/28Eearnings forecasts by 7%/4%/4%, mainly due to lower minority interestassumptions, which offset the lower forecast on alumina profit. Our TP is slightlylowered to RMB28, based on 12x 2026E P/E, equivalent to unchanged 20%premium to our target multiple (10x) for China Hongqiao (previously RMB29, aswe trimmed our target P/E of China Hongqiao).
