LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

Xinyi Solar’s multiples trail peers by a significant margin despite a strong position in solar glass and an extremely profitable solar farm business where proving business models in a grid parity environment could mean slightly lower margins but vastly expanded TAM.

Xinyi Solar – Putting Its Balance Sheet to Work Could Generate Significant Upside

Xinyi Solar Holdings is one of the largest solar glass producers in the world. This year has been a breakthrough year for solar industry in China since solar has achieved grid parity in China. In 2021, this is the first year in which all newly completed utility scale and commercial distributed PV generation projects in China are operated on a grid-parity basis. This should have a significantly positive impact on major solar players such as Xinyi Solar. The following are the key catalysts for Xinyi Solar:1) Ambitious Plans to Increase Renewables &amp; Decrease Coal Announced at COP262) Higher Insider Purchase3) Accelerating Sales &amp; Profit Margins4) A likely upcoming inclusion of Xinyi Solar (968 HK) into the Hang Seng China Enterprises IndexValuation - Xinyi Solar is trading at EV/EBITDA multiples of 16.4x in 2021 and 14.6x in 2022. The comps are trading at an average EV/EBITDA of 20.1x in 2021 and 18.3x in 2022. However, Xinyi Solar has better metrics than its peers in terms of net margins, ROE, and sales growth. Therefore, we would argue that Xinyi Solar is undervalued and that it deserves to trade at higher valuation multiples.
