Citi's research report indicates that while coal prices have risen, China's coal-fired independent power producers (IPPs) saw a 20% increase in share prices over the past three months. However, Citi forecasts that margins will narrow due to higher coal costs, leading to weaker performance. The bank assigned Sell ratings to HUANENG POWER, CHINA RES POWER, and HUADIAN POWER, citing a focus on company fundamentals and the impact of the upcoming ex-dividend period.

Citi Expects Power Stocks to Underperform on Rising Coal Costs Squeezing Margins

As of the close on May 8, Huaneng Power confirmed a bullish signal on the MACD daily line above the zero axis, indicating that the foundation for a medium-term upward trend remains solid, with buying power dominating in the short term. The trading volume that day was approximately HKD 230 million, with decent volume support, and investor attention on the power sector remains high. As a large state-owned enterprise driven by both thermal and renewable energy generation, Huaneng's technical performance reflects, to some extent, the market's recognition of the defensive value of the public utility sector. On the news front, ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East continue to push energy prices higher, with Brent crude oil returning to USD 101 per barrel. Although high oil prices may increase fuel costs for thermal power in the short term, the market-oriented reform of electricity pricing has made the price transmission mechanism smoother, and the continuous increase in the proportion of renewable energy installations effectively hedges against cost pressures. Additionally, the summer peak electricity demand is approaching, and market preference for the performance certainty of power stocks has significantly increased in the context of geopolitical uncertainty. Datang Power, another company in the sector, experienced a correction today due to previous large gains, but Huaneng Power has received better capital support due to its reasonable valuation. From a technical perspective, the moving average system maintains a bullish arrangement, with the 5-day moving average providing effective support during short-term pullbacks. Power stocks typically have lower volatility, and once a trend is established, it tends to be strong and persistent. Future observations should focus on whether the volume supports this trend and whether the sector as a whole can maintain its strength. The short-term trend is biased towards bullishness, with defensive attributes and performance certainty being the core logic for current capital allocation in power stocks
