Guangdong Electric Power Hits Day High with 3.52% Surge in Stock Price

Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. has experienced a notable increase of 3.52% on May 25, 2026, reaching an intraday high of CNY 6.78. This performance stands out against the backdrop of the China Shanghai Composite, which rose by 0.96% on the same day. Over the past year, Guangdong Electric Power has demonstrated a significant return of 56.84%, outperforming the Shanghai Composite's 24.02%. Year-to-date, the stock has also shown strong performance with a gain of 52.94%. However, the company has faced challenges in the longer term, with a three-year performance decline of 2.03% compared to the Shanghai Composite's 29.72% growth. Despite its recent gains, Guangdong Electric Power's long-term fundamentals indicate a weak position, highlighted by an average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 2.71% and a Return on Equity (ROE) of 2.38%. The company remains net-debt free, but its operating profit has declined by 9.85% over the last five years, raising questions about its growth trajectory.
