Dongfang Electric (1072 HK)'s recent rally following the Yarlung Zangbo hydropower project announcement appears overdone, as it now trades more than 3SD above average. 
We estimate that, even with generous assumptions, the project will add 11.5% of revenue of its annual revenue. This seems unmatched with the 52.7% share price jump.
1Q25 has performed well and deserves a re-rating, but the current extent is excessive. Fair value for the next three years is HK$18-22.8, at best.
