Morgan Stanley has issued a research report indicating that Xinyi Glass (00868) recorded a net profit of RMB 2.7 billion for 2025, a 19% year-on-year decline, which aligns with the institution's projections. The decrease is primarily attributed to reduced profit contributions from the float glass and architectural glass segments, although automotive glass earnings saw a slight increase. The overall gross profit margin dropped from 32% in 2024 to 31% in 2025. The report notes that while overall production capacity has recently decreased, float glass prices remain under pressure due to weak demand from property developers. It is anticipated that the completion rate will again experience a double-digit decline this year, and the continued weakness in float glass and architectural glass performance is expected to further drag on the company's profitability. Morgan Stanley has set a target price of HK$7.1 for Xinyi Glass alongside an "Underweight" rating.
