A股上市和提高分紅比例:光大環境(0257.HK)2025年報背後的估值修復邏輯

香港2026年3月23日 /美通社/ -- 2026年3月中旬,全國兩會勝利閉幕,綠色燃料首次被寫入政府工作報告,標誌著獨立自主的能源戰略已上升至國家戰略高度。此外,國家能源局最新數據顯示,2025年我國原油對外依存度升至73%,同比再增0.7個百分點,能源自主可控的壓力持續加大。疊加近期國際地緣政治風險,全球各國正重新審視能源獨立的戰略重要性。在此背景下,可再生能源產業勢必將迎來全球性的高速增長需求,垃圾發電在其中或將佔有重要的一席之地。生活垃圾發電,已是城市不可或缺的「清道夫」和「能量補充站」,並成為城市環境管理及能源基礎設施的剛需組成部分。這種價值也獲得了政策層面的高度認可,國家發展改革委和能源局將生活垃圾焚燒發電納入可再生能源綠色電力證書(「綠證」)的核發範圍。在日益注重環保和可持續發展的當下,行業龍頭企業將是最大的受益者之一。

作為全球最大垃圾發電投資運營商,光大環境(0257.HK)就是其中的佼佼者。近期,光大環境公佈2025年全年業績。以公司環保能源板塊為例,2025年,該板塊為集團貢獻淨盈利為港幣約45億元,較2024年同比增長17%。其中,累計投資落實項目284個,總投資約人民幣1014億元,另承接各類輕資產業務。這些項目設計規模年處理生活垃圾逾5500萬噸、年上網電量逾190億千瓦時、年處理餐廚及廚餘垃圾逾300萬噸以及年供熱供汽近200萬噸。

報告期內,公司堅持「內外並舉」, 增量空間持續打開。於境內鞏固優勢、拓展ToB新賽道。中標海南三亞垃圾發電項目五期,落地首個生物質天然氣項目,供熱供汽量同比增長;於境外在中亞突破、東南亞深耕。在烏茲別克斯坦有2個垃圾發電項目落地(3,000噸/日),中標泰國、馬來西亞設備供貨項目;設立越南、印尼、中亞代表處。全年新簽項目總投資超人民幣30億元,輕資產業務合同總額近13億元,國際化佈局從「點狀突破」轉向「區域深耕」。

環保水務板塊,即在新加坡和香港兩地上市的光大水務(U9E.SG及1857.HK),在2025年為集團貢獻淨盈利為港幣約6億元,較2024年同比下降26%。聚焦的「泛水」領域,共投資落實項目172個,總投資近人民幣 319億元,另承接各類輕資產業務。這些項目設計規模(含委託運營處理規模)為年處理污水約23.5億立方米、年供中水近1.2億立方米、年供水約3.1億立方米。

綠色環保板塊,即在香港主板上市的光大綠色環保(1257.HK)在2025年為集團貢獻淨盈利港幣約8700萬元,由2024年的淨虧損狀態轉為淨盈利。截至2025年12月31日,光大綠色環保共投資落實項目143個,總投資近人民幣307億元,設計規模為年處理生物質原材料近826萬噸、年處理生活垃圾逾400萬噸、年處置危固廢逾200萬噸,年供熱供汽逾600萬噸。

作為世界知名環境集團,整體來看,公司2025年創造收入約港幣275萬元,同比降9%,權益持有人應占盈利約港幣39億元,同比增長16%。從股價觀察,此前公司在5港元附近盤整近半年,市盈率(動)估值為6.93倍,對應股息率4.82%,屬低估高息狀態。去年11月,公司發佈公告啟動「回A上市」,此舉一方面可以拓寬融資渠道,另一方面可以提高公司估值水平。相較於港股的較低估值,A股垃圾發電板塊平均市盈率約為20倍,溢價率為185%,估值差價明顯,相信後市對港股估值有一定的帶動作用。

此外,光銀國際證券預測公司2025年資本開支縮減至35-45億水平,低於市場預期,而「國補」資金又回收加速,預計2025年經營現金流為港幣101億元,較2024的77.5億提升30%,將進一步提升公司的分紅派息比例,加強投資者回報。評級「買入」,目標價5.77港元。綜合來看,公司股價具備一定的估值修復空間。

Everest Medicines Enters into Asset Purchase Agreement with Corxel Pharmaceuticals to Develop and Commercialize CARDAMYST™ (Etripamil) Nasal Spray in Greater China

SHANGHAI, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, "Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced that it has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Corxel Pharmaceuticals Hong Kong Limited ("CORXEL"). Under the agreement, the Company has acquired the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) nasal spray in Greater China, including Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan region.

Under the terms of the agreement, Everest will pay CORXEL an upfront payment of US$30 million (equivalent to approximately RMB344,895,000), as well as potential development milestone payments of up to US$20 million (equivalent to approximately RMB137,958,000). As part of this agreement, Everest will be assigned and transferred rights, interests, claims, duties, obligations and liabilities (other than certain excluded liabilities) under the Milestone License Agreement entered into by CORXEL in May 2021 and certain related ancillary agreements.

CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) nasal spray is a novel, rapid-acting calcium channel blocker as administered as needed via a convenient, portable nasal spray. It offers rapid onset of action, favorable tolerability, and the potential for at-home self-administration, enhancing patient accessibility. In December 2025, CARDAMYST was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), becoming the first and only self-administered nasal spray in more than 30 years capable of converting paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to sinus rhythm in adults. As a rapid-acting treatment option, CARDAMYST can be self-administered outside the emergency department or other healthcare settings, enabling patients to actively manage episodes and gain greater control over their condition. In addition to its approved indication for PSVT, etripamil nasal spray is also under clinical development for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (AFib-RVR). Phase II trials have shown encouraging results, and Phase III trials are planned, with the potential to further extend its therapeutic impact to a broader patient population.

In China, the New Drug Application (NDA) for etripamil nasal spray was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on January 17, 2025 and is expected to receive approval in the third quarter of 2026.

PSVT is characterized by abnormalities in the heart's electrical system that cause sudden unexpected and often severely symptomatic episodes of rapid heart rate. There are currently no approved self-administered, fast-acting, non-injectable therapies for acute PSVT, leaving patients with limited treatment options beyond emergency care. Approximately 2.3 to 4 per 1,000 individuals are affected by PSVT, representing an estimated 3 to 6 million patients in China.

AFib-RVR is a type of irregular heart rhythm, characterized by an irregular and elevated heart rate. Its onset is typically gradual, episodes are less likely to terminate spontaneously, and the condition tends to recur, significantly increasing the risk of thromboembolism and serious complications such as stroke and heart failure. In China, atrial fibrillation affects an estimated 1.6% of the population, representing nearly 20 million patients, and is expected to increase with an aging population. Both PSVT and AFib-RVR are associated with a loss of control and a significant psychological burden for patients.

Driven by its 2030 Strategy, and led by Mr. Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board, Everest is accelerating growth through a dual-engine approach that combines strategic business development partnerships with in-house R&D. This transaction further strengthens Everest's expanding cardiovascular franchise, building on recent strategic initiatives and reinforcing the Company's disciplined approach to constructing focused therapeutic verticals with meaningful lifecycle expansion potential. Through continued advancement of its pipeline and product portfolio globally, Everest aims to deliver innovative therapies to more patients, create sustainable long-term value, and advance its position to become a leading global biopharmaceutical company.

"We are pleased to collaborate with CORXEL, this agreement marks an important step in our continued expansion in the cardiovascular field and a meaningful milestone in advancing our growth 2030 strategy," said Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. "PSVT is a large and significantly underserved market in China, with no fast-acting, non-injectable, self-administered therapies approved for the acute treatment of PSVT. CARDAMYST provides an innovative on-demand treatment option that empowers patients to manage episodes anytime and anywhere. It is currently the only therapy designed for at-home self-administration to enable the acute termination of PSVT and AFib-RVR episodes, addressing a significant unmet medical need among patients in China. We will leverage our clinical development expertise and established commercialization platform to accelerate its advancement and future launch in Greater China, while further strengthening our cardiovascular franchise and unlocking its broader potential across atrial arrhythmias."

"Since acquiring the rights to develop and commercialize etripamil nasal spray in 2021 in Greater China, CORXEL has quickly rolled out its clinical development program and submitted its NDA application following positive topline data from the China Phase 3 trial for treating PSVT. This demonstrates CORXEL's strong execution capability in developing innovative medicines with speed and quality," said Ms. Sandy Mou, Board Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of CORXEL. "We are pleased with the purchase agreement with Everest Medicines,and are confident that Everest, with its deep expertise in cardiovascular therapeutics and strong commercialization capabilities, is the ideal partner to successfully bring etripamil nasal spray to clinical practice and benefit patients in China. This agreement also allows CORXEL to further focus its resources on advancing the global development of its core pipeline."

The NDA for etripamil nasal spray was accepted by the NMPA based on data from the pivotal global Phase 3 RAPID study and the China Phase 3 JX02002 study. Both trials met their primary endpoints. In the JX02002 study, a greater number of patients receiving etripamil achieved the conversion to sinus rate within 30 minutes, compared with placebo (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.02; p=0.0005). Overall, the treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were comparable between the etripamil and placebo groups. Notably, no serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported within 24 hours of etripamil administration in either Phase 3 trial. 

The FDA approval of CARDAMYST was supported by a robust clinical program that included safety data from more than 1,800 participants across more than 2,000 PSVT episodes. This included the Phase 3 RAPID trial, a global, randomized, double-blind comparison of etripamil versus placebo, published in The Lancet in 2023. The RAPID trial achieved its primary endpoint, with 64% of participants who self-administered etripamil (N=99) converting from supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) to sinus rhythm within 30 minutes compared with 31% on placebo (N=85) (HR = 2.62; p<0.001). The median time to conversion was 17 minutes (95% CI: 13.4, 26.5) for etripamil versus 54 minutes (95% CI: 38.7, 87.3) for placebo. The most common adverse events (≥5%) were generally mild-to-moderate and transient in nature, including local-site nasal discomfort, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, throat irritation, and epistaxis. Fewer than 2% of participants discontinued therapy due to adverse events. 

Etripamil nasal spray is also under clinical development for AFib-RVR. In the randomized, controlled Phase 2 ReVeRA study, etripamil demonstrated rapid and significant reduction in ventricular rate in patients with AFib‑RVR, achieving its primary endpoint. A greater number of patients receiving etripamil achieved a ventricular rate of less than 100 bpm (58.3%) than those receiving placebo (4%). The safety profile was consistent with previous studies.

About CARDAMYST™(etripamil) Nasal Spray

Etripamil is a novel calcium channel blocker developed by Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: MIST). It is designed as a rapid-response therapy for episodic cardiovascular conditions. As a self-administered nasal spray, etripamil has the potential to shift treatment from emergency department-based care to a patient-managed setting. In May 2021, JIXING (now CORXEL) and Milestone entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development and commercialization of investigational drug etripamil for PSVT and other cardiovascular indications in Greater China ("Milestone License Agreement").

Innovent Announces First Participant Dosed of IBI128 (Tigulixostat, XOI) in Phase 3 Clinical Study

SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovent Biologics, Inc. ("Innovent", HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and commercializes high quality medicines for the treatment of oncology, cardiovascular and metabolic, autoimmune, ophthalmology and other major diseases, announced that the xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) Tigulixostat(R&D code: IBI128) have the first participant dosed in a Phase 3 clinical study in head-to-head comparison of febuxostat, aiming to provide a better treatment option for Chinese gout patients. In a previous Phase 2 clinical study, tigulixostat showed a more significant urate-lowering effect and a good safety profile compared with the febuxostat group. The Phase 2 clinical data were published at the Asia-Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) conference in 2025.

This study adopts a randomized, double-blind, multi-center Phase 3 design, and plans to enroll 600 Chinese patients who meet the 2015 ACR/EULAR gout diagnostic criteria, and randomize them in a 1:1 ratio to receive tigulixostat 100 mg or febuxostat 40 mg for 24 weeks. The treatment period of the trial was one year. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with serum uric acid (sUA) < 360 μmol/L at week 24.

The Principal Investigator of the Study, Professor Zou Hejian from Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, said: "Current gout treatment has dual challenges of drug safety concerns and insufficient efficacy. The Phase 2 data of IBI128 have shown significant advantages in lowering uric acid. This Phase 3 study, through head-to-head design and long-term observation, is expected to provide high-level evidence-based evidence for clinical practice. As a metabolic disease with the fastest growth rate in prevalence in China, gout also has multiple unmet medical needs, including the safety risks of existing drugs, such as cardiovascular risks, hypersensitivity reactions limiting clinical application, and the risk of acute kidney injury caused by excessive uric acid excretion load; the lack of efficacy, such as insufficient drug compliance rate and medication restrictions for patients with renal impairment. Tigulixostat is expected to provide a new treatment option to better meet the above needs. As a new-generation highly selective XOI, the 100 mg dose group in the Phase 2 study (CIBI128A201) had a sUA compliance rate (< 360 μmol/L) of 81% at 16 weeks, which was significantly better than that in the febuxostat 40 mg group. In addition, it showed good safety characteristics in previous clinical studies, with good renal and cardiovascular safety. This Phase 3 study will further verify its long-term therapeutic benefits and fill the unmet medical needs. "

Dr. Lei Qian, Chief R&D Officer of General Biomedicine of Innovent Biologics, stated, "Gout is one of the largest chronic diseases in China, which has long brought a sustained health burden to millions of patients. However, compared with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, the current therapeutic options are still relatively limited. Gout patients urgently need innovative drugs that have potent uric acid-lowering effects and good safety, and the development of IBI128 reflects Innovent Biologics' proactive response, as an innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company, to address this significant unmet medical need. At the same time, Innovent has established a systematic pipeline strategy in the field of gout and hyperuricemia. In addition to IBI128, the company is advancing multiple innovative programs, including IBI3011, an IL-1RAP monoclonal antibody designed to control acute gout flares, as well as mazdutide, a globally innovative GCG/GLP-1 dual receptor agonist that may provide therapeutic benefits for patients with obesity complicated by hyperuricemia. By building a product portfolio covering different disease stages and patient needs, Innovent Biologics is expected to significantly enhance its comprehensive competitiveness in this therapeutic field and provide patients with a more comprehensive and personalized treatment option. "

About Tigulixostat (IBI128)

IBI128 (tigulixostat) is a novel non-purine selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) for the treatment of hyperuricemia associated with gout.[1] Preclinical studies have confirmed its unique mechanism of action, while early clinical trials (including Phase 1 and Phase 2) have shown significant urate-lowering efficacy and good safety, and the Phase 2 results have actively promoted the initiation of Phase 3 studies. 

In December 2022, Innovent Biologics entered a strategic collaboration with LG Chem, in-licensing exclusive development and commercialization rights for tigulixostat in China.

About Gout

The prevalence of gout is increasing rapidly worldwide and in China, with prominent characteristics of younger age. According to the latest research, the overall prevalence of hyperuricemia in China is 17.7%, and the prevalence of gout is 3.2%. The patient base is large, with approximately 177 million people in hyperuricemia, including more than tens of millions of patients with gout.[4] The young population has become a high-incidence population: nearly 60% of the patients are between the ages of 18 and 35 years, and the average age of onset has decreased to 48.28 years, which is closely related to high-purine diet, intake of sugar-containing beverages, and sedentary lifestyle. The harm of gout far exceeds that of joint pain, and it has been identified as a systemic disease. Long-term uncontrolled gout can lead to irreversible organ damage and serious complications, including joint and motor function damage, kidney and metabolic system risks, socioeconomic burden, etc.[1,2,4], which may lead to a decline in the quality of life of patients, as well as negative effects such as labor loss.
