Earnings momentum is well supported by ongoing CGPP and LSS5 projects

Solarvest’s outstanding EPCC order book stands at RM1.2bn, anchored by CGPP (RM414m), LSS5 (RM504m), residential and C&I (RM245m) projects. The earnings recognition for CGPP projects is expected to peak in 3QFY26 before easing in 4QFY26, while the LSS5 project should begin its contribution from 4QFY26, extending revenue visibility into FY27-28E. With several LSS5 contracts at the final negotiation and financial close stage, Solarvest is on track to achieve its RM2bn order book target by end-CY25. Management addressed concerns over the expiry of the NEM scheme, noting that the group can sustain RM200m in annual rooftop solar replenishment, with a new programme likely to be rolled out.

More contracts to come

We expect a strong replenishment catalyst ahead, driven by 2GW-capacity LSS5+ and MyBeST (400MW/1600MWh) tenders in 2HCY25, which are expected to generate RM8bn EPCC opportunities, with contract rollout slated for CY26. We expect Solarvest to sustain its 30% market share in LSS5 and stands a good chance of securing 1 project (100MW/400MWh) under MyBeST. Additional upside could arise from LSS6 tenders, expected in 4QCY25, with at least another 2GW capacity and likely mandatory battery energy storage system (BESS) integration. Meanwhile, the ongoing review of the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) may lower system access charges (SAC), further enhancing project feasibility and accelerating adoption.

Maintain BUY with TP of RM3.05

We reiterate our BUY rating with an unchanged SOP-derived target price of RM3.05. We continue to like Solarvest for its leading position in the solar renewable energy sector and for being a key beneficiary of the nation’s energy transition goals. Key downside risks include government RE policy changes, project execution delays, intense market competition, and volatility in solar module prices.
