Title: Lightening the Load, Chasing the Light: A Strategic Pivot to High-Value Space PV and Global Expansion

Executive Summary

Junda Shares released its 2025 Annual Report on March 30, 2026, marking a pivotal transition year for the company. While the headline financials reflect a challenging operating environment—with full-year revenue declining 23.36% YoY to CNY 7.63 billion and a net loss of CNY 1.42 billion—the underlying narrative is one of strategic cleansing and future-oriented positioning. The significant loss in 2025 was primarily driven by a one-off asset impairment charge of CNY 440 million, specifically targeting older TOPCon production lines and peripheral facilities. This "big bath" accounting move effectively clears the balance sheet of legacy depreciation burdens, positioning the company for improved cost structures and profitability starting in 2026.

Our investment thesis rests on three core pillars:
1. Financial De-leveraging & Cost Optimization: The substantial impairments in 2025 reduce future depreciation pressures, directly enhancing gross margins in subsequent years. Combined with ongoing efficiency gains in non-silicon costs, the manufacturing base is becoming leaner and more competitive.
2. Global Market Dominance & Premium Pricing: Junda has successfully pivoted towards high-margin overseas markets, with overseas revenue contributing 50.66% of total sales in 2025 (a +26.81 percentage point increase YoY). The company holds leading market shares in India, Turkey, and Europe. With European energy prices remaining elevated, the premium for exported solar cells is expected to drive a rapid recovery in overall profitability.
3. Next-Generation Technology Moat (Space PV): Beyond terrestrial applications, Junda is pioneering the commercialization of space-based photovoltaics. Through a strategic partnership with Shangyi Optoelectronics (spun out from the Chinese Academy of Sciences), the company is validating flexible perovskite technologies for space environments. This positions Junda to capture high-barrier, high-value opportunities in the emerging commercial aerospace sector, diversifying its revenue streams beyond the cyclical terrestrial solar market.

We forecast a robust turnaround in 2026, with projected net profit attributable to shareholders reaching CNY 755 million, followed by steady growth to CNY 940 million in 2027 and CNY 1.32 billion in 2028. We maintain our BUY rating, viewing the current valuation as an attractive entry point for investors seeking exposure to both the cyclical recovery of global solar demand and the secular growth of space infrastructure.

Key Takeaways

1. Financial Performance Review: The "Clean Slate" of 2025

The 2025 fiscal year was characterized by top-line contraction and bottom-line pressure, largely due to macroeconomic headwinds in the solar industry and deliberate strategic write-downs.

• Revenue Contraction: Full-year 2025 revenue stood at CNY 7.627 billion, a decline of 23.36% compared to 2024. This follows a 46.66% decline in 2024, indicating that while the rate of contraction is slowing, the market remains in a consolidation phase.
• Profitability Impact: The company reported a net loss attributable to shareholders of CNY 1.416 billion. In Q4 2025 alone, the net loss widened to CNY 997 million,环比 (quarter-on-quarter) deteriorating from previous quarters.
• Impairment Analysis: The primary driver of the Q4 and full-year loss was the recognition of CNY 440 million in credit and asset impairment losses.
  • Inventory Impairment: CNY 120 million.
  • Fixed Asset Impairment: CNY 270 million.
  • Strategic Rationale: These impairments were concentrated on older TOPCon battery equipment and auxiliary factory facilities. By writing down these assets, Junda is reducing the future depreciation expense burden. This is a critical operational lever; lower depreciation translates directly to lower unit production costs, thereby improving gross margins in 2026 and beyond.

The negative gross margin in 2025 (-1.3%) highlights the severity of the price war in the terrestrial solar cell market during the period. However, the sequential improvement in operational efficiency and the removal of impaired assets set the stage for a return to positive gross margins in 2026, projected at 8.9%.

2. Operational Highlights: Technological Leadership & Cost Reduction

Despite the financial headwinds, Junda has maintained its technological edge, particularly in N-type cell technologies which are becoming the industry standard.

A. TOPCon Efficiency and Cost Leadership

• Conversion Efficiency: In 2025, Junda’s mass-produced TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) cells achieved an average conversion efficiency exceeding 26%. This places the company at the forefront of the industry, where every 0.1% gain in efficiency translates to significant Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) advantages for downstream module manufacturers.
• Non-Silicon Cost Reduction: The company has successfully driven down non-silicon costs per watt. This is achieved through process optimization, higher yield rates, and economies of scale in its newer, more efficient production lines. As the impaired older lines are taken offline or upgraded, the average cost structure of the remaining fleet improves.

B. Next-Gen Tech: TBC and Perovskite Tandem

• TBC (TOPCon Back Contact) Progress: Junda is actively preparing for the mass production of TBC cells. Pilot line efficiencies have reached approximately 26.6%. TBC technology combines the benefits of TOPCon passivation with back-contact architecture, offering higher aesthetic appeal and efficiency potential. The steady progress in量产 (mass production) preparation suggests that TBC could become a significant revenue contributor by late 2026 or 2027.
• Perovskite Tandem Breakthrough: In the realm of next-generation photovoltaics, Junda’s small-area perovskite/silicon tandem cells have achieved a conversion efficiency of 33.53%. This milestone confirms the technical feasibility of the technology. While still in the verification stage, this efficiency level is well above the theoretical limit of single-junction silicon cells (~29%), positioning Junda as a leader in the post-silicon era.

C. Manufacturing Footprint Optimization

The impairment of fixed assets (CNY 270 million) indicates a strategic shift away from legacy capacity. By retiring or writing down less efficient equipment, Junda is optimizing its asset base. This "lightening of the load" ensures that the company’s capital expenditure in 2026-2028 is directed towards high-efficiency lines rather than maintaining obsolete infrastructure.

3. Geographic Diversification: The Overseas Growth Engine

A defining feature of Junda’s 2025 performance was the dramatic shift in its revenue geography. The company has successfully mitigated domestic oversupply risks by expanding into high-margin international markets.

• Overseas Revenue Surge: Overseas sales accounted for 50.66% of total revenue in 2025, a substantial increase of 26.81 percentage points year-over-year. This shift is not merely quantitative but qualitative, as overseas markets generally offer better pricing power and profitability compared to the hyper-competitive domestic Chinese market.
• Key Markets:
  • Europe: The region remains a cornerstone of Junda’s export strategy. With oil and gas prices in Europe remaining structurally higher than pre-2022 levels, the economic case for solar energy remains strong. Consequently, solar product prices in Europe have stayed elevated, allowing exporters like Junda to command a premium.
  • India & Turkey: Junda has secured leading market shares in these emerging solar hubs. India’s aggressive renewable energy targets and Turkey’s strategic location as an energy bridge provide sustained demand.
• Profitability Implication: The mix shift towards overseas sales is a primary driver for the projected margin expansion in 2026. Exported battery cells typically enjoy a price premium over domestic sales due to logistics, tariffs, and localized supply constraints. As the proportion of overseas sales stabilizes above 50%, the company’s blended average selling price (ASP) and gross margin are expected to rise significantly.

Note: 2024 shares are estimated based on the reported YoY change in overseas share.

4. Strategic Frontier: Space-Based Photovoltaics

Perhaps the most compelling long-term catalyst for Junda is its entry into the space photovoltaics sector. This move aligns with China’s national strategy for aerospace strength and opens up a entirely new, high-barrier market segment.

• Strategic Partnership: On December 21, 2025, Junda signed a 《Strategic Cooperation Agreement》 with Shangyi Optoelectronics.
• Partner Profile: Shangyi Optoelectronics originates from the technical system of the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIOM-CAS). This pedigree provides unparalleled scientific credibility and access to cutting-edge research.
• Technology Focus: The collaboration focuses on flexible perovskite photovoltaic technology for space applications.
  • First-Principles Verification: Shangyi has already completed first-principles verification of perovskite materials in space environments.
  • Exclusive Advantages: The partner possesses exclusive technical advantages in formula design for extreme space environments and anti-radiation structural design. Space-grade PV modules must withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, high-energy particle radiation, and vacuum conditions, requiring specialized material science that terrestrial PV does not.
• Commercial Potential:
  • High Barrier to Entry: The technical requirements for space PV create a significant moat, limiting competition to a few specialized players.
  • High Value: Space applications are less price-sensitive and more performance/reliability-sensitive, implying significantly higher margins than terrestrial solar.
  • Market Timing: With the rapid development of low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations and space infrastructure, demand for lightweight, high-efficiency, and flexible power sources is exploding. Junda’s early mover advantage, backed by CAS technology, positions it to be a primary supplier in this nascent but high-growth sector.

This initiative transforms Junda from a pure-play terrestrial solar manufacturer into a dual-engine technology company, reducing its correlation with the cyclical terrestrial solar market.

Risks / Headwinds

While the outlook is positive, investors must consider several key risks that could impact the realization of our forecasts.

1. Supply Chain Price Volatility

• Silicon Material Prices: Although non-silicon costs are decreasing, the price of polysilicon and wafers remains a major component of COGS. Significant fluctuations in upstream raw material prices can squeeze margins if the company cannot pass these costs downstream quickly enough.
• Inventory Valuation: Given the history of impairment in 2025, any further sharp declines in silicon or cell prices could necessitate additional inventory write-downs, impacting short-term profitability.

2. Intensifying Industry Competition

• Capacity Oversupply: The global solar manufacturing capacity, particularly in China, continues to expand. If demand growth fails to keep pace with capacity additions, price wars may persist, eroding the pricing power of even efficient producers like Junda.
• Technological Obsolescence: The rapid evolution from PERC to TOPCon, and now to TBC and HJT (Heterojunction), requires continuous capital expenditure. Failure to keep pace with the latest efficiency benchmarks could result in loss of market share.

3. International Trade and Geopolitical Risks

• Tariffs and Trade Barriers: With over 50% of revenue coming from overseas, Junda is highly exposed to trade policies.
  • Europe: Potential anti-subsidy investigations or carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAM) could increase costs or restrict access.
  • USA: Continued exclusion from the US market due to UFLPA (Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act) or other trade restrictions limits the total addressable market.
  • India/Turkey: Local content requirements (LCR) in India or changing import duties in Turkey could impact competitiveness.
• Geopolitical Tensions: Escalating tensions between China and Western nations could lead to broader decoupling efforts, affecting supply chains and customer relationships.

4. Commercial Aerospace Execution Risk

• Technology Commercialization: While the technical verification of space perovskite cells is promising, the path to large-scale commercial deployment is complex. Issues related to long-term reliability in orbit, manufacturing scalability, and certification delays could push back revenue recognition from this segment.
• Market Adoption Rate: The growth of the satellite constellation market may be slower than anticipated due to regulatory hurdles, launch capacity constraints, or funding issues in the private space sector.

5. Financial Leverage and Liquidity

• Debt Levels: As seen in the balance sheet, the company carries significant short-term and long-term debt. While the net debt-to-equity ratio is projected to improve, rising interest rates or tightening credit conditions could increase financial expenses.
• Cash Flow Volatility: The negative operating cash flow in 2025 (CNY -486 million) highlights the working capital challenges during the downturn. A sustained recovery in operating cash flow is critical to fund R&D and capex without excessive reliance on external financing.

Rating / Sector Outlook

Sector Outlook: Consolidation and Differentiation

The global photovoltaic sector is undergoing a profound consolidation phase. The era of indiscriminate capacity expansion is giving way to a period where technology leadership, cost efficiency, and market diversification are the key differentiators.

1. Terrestrial Solar: The market is maturing. Growth rates are stabilizing, and profitability is increasingly determined by who can produce the highest efficiency cells at the lowest non-silicon cost. N-type technologies (TOPCon, HJT, BC) are rapidly replacing P-type PERC. Companies that fail to transition will face existential threats. Junda’s focus on TOPCon and TBC places it firmly in the winner’s circle of this transition.
2. Global Trade Dynamics: The fragmentation of global trade means that manufacturers with a diversified geographic footprint are better insulated from regional shocks. Junda’s strong presence in Europe, India, and Turkey provides a hedge against domestic Chinese oversupply.
3. New Frontiers: The intersection of energy and aerospace is creating new investment themes. Space-based solar power and satellite power systems represent a high-growth, high-margin niche that is largely untapped by traditional solar manufacturers. Junda’s early entry into this space via its partnership with Shangyi Optoelectronics gives it a unique "option value" that is not yet fully reflected in its valuation.

Investment Rating: BUY

We maintain our BUY rating on Junda Shares.

• Valuation Appeal: At a current price of CNY 72.61, the stock trades at a forward P/E of approximately 29.95x for 2026E earnings. While this may appear elevated compared to historical averages for mature manufacturing firms, it is justified by:
  1. The high growth trajectory of earnings (153% YoY growth expected in 2026).
  2. The superior quality of earnings driven by overseas premiums.
  3. The embedded optionality of the space PV business, which commands a higher multiple.
• Peer Comparison: Compared to peers who are still struggling with legacy PERC assets or lack significant overseas exposure, Junda’s cleaned-up balance sheet and diversified revenue base warrant a premium valuation.
• Consensus View: Market sentiment is strongly positive, with a consensus rating of 1.00 (Buy) based on recent analyst reports. There are no "Hold" or "Sell" ratings in the recent coverage, indicating strong institutional confidence in the turnaround story.

Investment View

Core Investment Logic

Our investment recommendation is underpinned by a "Three-Stage Recovery and Growth" model:

Stage 1: Balance Sheet Repair & Cost Reset (2025-2026)

The heavy impairments taken in 2025 are a short-term pain for long-term gain. By writing off CNY 440 million in assets, Junda has effectively lowered its break-even point.
* Depreciation Relief: The reduction in the fixed asset base means lower annual depreciation charges. In manufacturing, depreciation is a fixed cost; lowering it directly boosts operating leverage. As utilization rates recover in 2026, the profit margin expansion will be amplified.
* Inventory Normalization: The inventory impairment suggests that the company has cleared out older, lower-value stock. Future sales will be drawn from newer, higher-efficiency production, supporting better ASPs.

Stage 2: Margin Expansion via Geographic Arbitrage (2026-2027)

The shift to >50% overseas revenue is a structural change, not a temporary fluctuation.
* Premium Pricing: European and Indian markets offer higher margins than China. As Junda solidifies its position in these regions, its blended gross margin is expected to expand from the negative territory of 2025 to nearly 9% in 2026 and over 10% in 2027.
* Currency Benefits: A significant portion of overseas sales is denominated in USD or EUR. Depending on exchange rate movements, this can provide additional tailwinds to reported earnings in CNY terms.

Stage 3: Valuation Re-rating via Space PV Optionality (2027-2028+)

The partnership with Shangyi Optoelectronics is a game-changer for Junda’s long-term valuation framework.
* From Cyclical to Secular: Traditional solar stocks are valued as cyclical commodities. Space technology stocks are valued as growth/tech companies. By successfully commercializing space PV, Junda can attract a new cohort of investors willing to pay a higher multiple for secular growth.
* First-Mover Advantage: Being one of the first terrestrial solar manufacturers to validate space-grade perovskite technology gives Junda a significant head start. As the commercial space economy grows, Junda could become a critical infrastructure provider, akin to how certain semiconductor firms became essential to the smartphone boom.

Financial Forecast Analysis

We project a strong V-shaped recovery in profitability.

Table 4: Profit & Loss Forecast (2024-2028E)

Source: Guojin Securities Institute Estimates

Key Assumptions Behind the Forecast:

1. Revenue Rebound (2026): We forecast a 73.2% increase in revenue for 2026. This is driven by:

   • Volume Growth: Increased utilization of new, high-efficiency lines.
   • Price Stabilization: Stabilization of cell prices after the 2024-2025 crash.
   • Overseas Expansion: Continued penetration in Europe and India, where demand is robust.
   • New Products: Initial contributions from TBC and potentially early-stage space PV contracts.

2. Margin Expansion:

   • Gross Margin: Projected to jump to 8.9% in 2026. This assumes the elimination of negative-margin legacy sales and the full benefit of lower depreciation from the 2025 impairments.
   • Operating Expenses: SG&A and R&D expenses are expected to grow at a slower rate than revenue, leading to operating leverage. R&D remains robust (approx. 1.3% of sales) to support TBC and Perovskite development.

3. Profitability Recovery:

   • Net Profit: The swing from a CNY 1.42 billion loss to a CNY 755 million profit in 2026 is primarily due to the non-recurring nature of the 2025 impairments and the operational improvements mentioned above.
   • Tax Rate: We assume a normalized effective tax rate, noting that tax benefits from losses carried forward may initially suppress the tax expense, boosting net income in the early recovery years.

4. Long-Term Stability (2027-2028):

   • Revenue growth moderates to 16.9% in 2027 and 1.7% in 2028, reflecting a maturing market.
   • However, Net Margins continue to expand to 8.4% by 2028, driven by the higher-margin space PV business and optimized terrestrial operations. This demonstrates a shift from volume-driven growth to quality-driven profitability.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Health

Table 5: Cash Flow & Balance Sheet Highlights (2024-2028E)

Note: Negative Net Debt/Equity indicates a net cash position.

• Cash Flow Turnaround: After a negative operating cash flow in 2025, we project a strong recovery to CNY 1.93 billion in 2026. This is driven by improved profitability and better working capital management (reduction in receivables and optimized inventory).
• Capital Discipline: CapEx is kept moderate (CNY 290-300 million annually), focusing on efficiency upgrades rather than massive capacity expansion. This disciplined approach supports strong Free Cash Flow generation.
• Strong Liquidity: The company is projected to move into a net cash position by 2026, with Net Debt/Equity turning negative. This provides financial flexibility to invest in R&D for space PV or pursue strategic M&A without stressing the balance sheet.

Valuation Methodology

We employ a combination of Relative Valuation (P/E) and Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis to derive our target view.

1. Relative Valuation (P/E):

   • Given the turnaround nature of the stock, forward P/E is the most relevant metric.
   • 2026E P/E: ~29.95x.
   • 2027E P/E: ~24.03x.
   • 2028E P/E: ~17.17x.
   • Compared to the broader renewable energy equipment sector, which often trades at 15-20x P/E during stable periods, Junda commands a premium due to its higher growth rate (153% earnings growth in 2026) and the unique space PV optionality. A P/E of 30x for a company transitioning from loss to significant profit with a new high-tech vertical is reasonable.

2. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF):

   • Using a WACC of 8.5% and a terminal growth rate of 2.5%, our DCF model supports a fair value range consistent with the current market price, assuming the successful commercialization of space PV contributes to cash flows from 2027 onwards.

Investment Strategy & Catalysts

Recommended Strategy

• Accumulate on Weakness: Given the volatility inherent in the solar sector, investors should consider building positions on any short-term dips caused by broader market sentiment or temporary supply chain news.
• Long-Term Hold: The investment thesis plays out over 2-3 years. Investors should hold through the 2026 recovery phase to capture the full benefit of margin expansion and the eventual re-rating from the space PV business.

Key Catalysts to Monitor

1. Quarterly Margin Improvement: Watch for consecutive quarters of expanding gross margins in 2026, confirming the success of the cost-reset strategy.
2. Overseas Order Book: Announcements of large-scale contracts in Europe or India will validate the demand strength and pricing power.
3. Space PV Milestones:
   • Successful orbital testing of flexible perovskite modules.
   • Signing of commercial supply agreements with satellite operators or aerospace agencies.
   • Any spin-off or separate funding round for the space PV division could unlock value.
4. TBC Mass Production: Official announcement of TBC mass production and initial customer adoption rates.

Conclusion

Junda Shares stands at a inflection point. The painful but necessary financial restructuring of 2025 has cleared the deck for a robust recovery. The company is no longer just a participant in the crowded terrestrial solar market; it is emerging as a global leader with a diversified geographic footprint and a pioneering role in the next frontier of energy: space.

The combination of immediate financial relief (via impairments), medium-term margin expansion (via overseas sales), and long-term growth optionality (via space PV) creates a compelling risk-reward profile. We believe the market has not yet fully priced in the sustainability of the overseas margin premium nor the potential value of the space photovoltaics business.

Therefore, we maintain our BUY rating. Investors looking for exposure to the renewable energy sector’s recovery, combined with a high-growth tech upside, should consider Junda Shares a core holding.

Deep Dive: Strategic Implications of the Space PV Partnership

To further elucidate the investment thesis, we provide a deeper analysis of the strategic partnership with Shangyi Optoelectronics, as this represents the most significant deviation from Junda's traditional business model and offers the highest potential for alpha generation.

1. The Space PV Market Opportunity

The commercial space sector is experiencing exponential growth, driven by the deployment of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations for communication (e.g., Starlink, Guowang), earth observation, and scientific research.
* Power Demand: Satellites require reliable, lightweight, and high-efficiency power sources. Traditional rigid silicon panels are heavy and fragile. Flexible thin-film technologies, particularly perovskites, offer a superior power-to-weight ratio.
* Market Size: While currently niche, the market for space-grade PV is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 15% in the next decade, reaching billions of dollars as mega-constellations expand.
* Barriers to Entry: The space environment poses extreme challenges:
* Radiation: High-energy particles degrade standard solar cells rapidly.
* Thermal Cycling: Temperatures can swing from -150°C to +120°C in each orbit.
* Vacuum: Materials must not outgas or degrade in a vacuum.
* Launch Vibration: Modules must withstand intense mechanical stress during launch.

Shangyi Optoelectronics’ expertise in "anti-radiation structural design" and "extreme environment formulas" directly addresses these barriers. Junda’s manufacturing scale and engineering capability complement Shangyi’s R&D, creating a synergistic partnership capable of industrializing this technology.

2. Competitive Landscape

Currently, the space PV market is dominated by specialized firms using III-V compound semiconductors (e.g., Gallium Arsenide), which are highly efficient but extremely expensive.
* Cost Advantage: Perovskite cells, if successfully stabilized, can be produced at a fraction of the cost of III-V cells using solution-processing techniques compatible with existing solar manufacturing infrastructure.
* Junda’s Edge: By leveraging its existing supply chain and manufacturing know-how, Junda can potentially bring space-grade perovskite modules to market at a significantly lower cost than incumbent suppliers, disrupting the status quo.

3. Financial Impact Modeling (Long-Term)

While space PV revenue is not expected to be material in 2026, its impact on valuation is immediate due to the "option value."
* 2026-2027: Minimal revenue contribution. Focus is on R&D and pilot testing.
* 2028-2030: Potential for initial commercial contracts. Given the high margins (estimated >40% for space-grade products), even small revenues can significantly boost overall profitability.
* Valuation Multiple Expansion: As the space business becomes tangible, analysts may begin to sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) value Junda, assigning a higher multiple (e.g., 40-50x P/E) to the space division, while keeping the terrestrial business at a standard manufacturing multiple (15-20x). This structural re-rating could drive significant share price appreciation independent of earnings growth.

Conclusion on Strategic Pivot

Junda’s decision to "travel light" (impair assets) and "chase the light" (invest in space PV) is a masterclass in strategic adaptation. The company is shedding the weight of the past to sprint towards the future. For institutional investors, this offers a rare combination: a near-term cyclical recovery play with a long-term secular growth option. The risks are real, but the potential rewards, particularly from the space PV initiative, justify a proactive investment stance.
