Xinyi Energy Remains Undervalued Despite Near-Term Challenges
Business Strategy and Outlook
Xinyi Energy Holdings is the solar farm operation unit of its holding company Xinyi Solar, a leading solar glass manufacturer and solar farm developer in China. Unlike most solar power suppliers with integrated upstream solar project development, Xinyi Energy mainly acquires utility-scale ground-mounted solar projects and focuses on downstream solar farm operations. The company's unique business model largely shields it from construction risks and regulatory risks such as project approvals, leading to a more stable returns profile. Previously, the company aimed to distribute not less than 90% of its distributable income annually. However, Xinyi Energy changed its dividend policy in 2023—it now considers the firm’s financial resources and funding needs, with no fixed payout ratio.
