Segment Performance

The company's unit sales outperformed nearly every on-road market category, with a 38% year-over-year increase in truck and bus engine unit sales. Off-road market unit sales increased by 17.5% year-over-year, driven by a 31.5% year-over-year increase in marine and power generation market sales. The company's on-highway engine business has a strong market share in China, driven by new customer wins from Tier 1 and Tier 2 OEMs, the introduction of new gas engines, and export growth.

Capacity Expansion and Component Supply

The company plans to increase capacity at its GYMCL entity by 30% by the end of 2025, but supply of components is the bottleneck. The company's research and development expenses increased by 21.1% to RMB 476.7 million (USD 66.6 million), representing 4.0% of revenue in the first half of 2025.

Valuation

The company's strong financial performance is reflected in its valuation metrics. With a P/E Ratio of 23.94, P/B Ratio of 0.84, and P/S Ratio of 0.4, the company's stock is trading at a premium. The company's dividend yield of 3.2% and ROE of 3.14% also suggest that the company is generating significant cash flow and profits. As the company continues to expand its business, particularly in the data center segment, investors may be willing to pay a premium for its stock.

Data Center Business

The company believes it can maintain its market share in long-bore engines for data centers, which is above 10% of the global market. The company may consider raising the average selling price for data center engines in the second half of 2025. The company's Yuchai brand has a capacity of 2,000 units, which is expected to increase by more than 30% by the end of the year.

Joint Venture and OEM Relationships

The company's JV profit is mainly driven by the MTU Yuchai joint venture, with another segment reaching breakeven. The company is working with OEMs to expand into overseas markets, including direct sales to overseas internet giants. As the company continues to strengthen its relationships with OEMs, it is likely to drive further growth in the future.
