Thesis
China Shenhua (601088.SH / 1088.HK) is an integrated coal–power–rail champion. 2025 revenue ¥294.916B (−13.2%), parent NI ¥52.849B (−5.3%). A-share ~¥45.7 / mkt ~¥991B.
Earnings softer but still high; core is dividend and cash defense.
Business
Model: Integrated coal mining–rail/port–thermal power. Earnings from coal spreads, transport tariffs, and generation; dividends are the shareholder return core.
Flagships: thermal coal, rail/port logistics, thermal power.
Competitiveness: integration dampens single-segment shocks; high payout and cash define the defensive style.
Strategy (12–24m): near term coal and utilization hours; long term manage demand mid-cycle decline under energy transition.
Value chain
Position: upstream coal + midstream transport + downstream power.
| Side | Counterparties | Dependence |
|---|---|---|
| Upstream | Mines, equipment, safety compliance | Capacity and safety constraints |
| Downstream | Utilities, industrials, rail customers | Power-coal demand and LT contracts |
Supply-chain risks: (1) rail capacity and contract delivery; (2) safety/carbon policy — echoed in Risks.
Price & valuation
~7/31 A-share ~¥45.7, mkt ~¥991B. Multiple tracks yield and coal-price expectations.
Financial trend (~24 months)
2025 soft YoY reflects coal prices; heating and power seasons drive some QoQ swings.

Competition
Peers: other thermal-coal majors and IPPs; on-site energy yield contrast CNOOC.
Strengths: coal–power–rail integration and dividend resilience. Weaknesses: NI plateau drifts lower with soft coal; transition narrative can keep a valuation discount.
