Citigroup has issued a research report projecting that Huaneng Power International's earnings per share and dividends will decline between 2026 and 2027, diminishing its appeal as an income stock. The firm reiterated its "Sell" rating on Huaneng Power with a target price of HK$4.6. In the first quarter, Huaneng's net profit fell 9.8% year-on-year to 4.483 billion yuan. Contributions from its wind and solar power plants decreased, with pre-tax profit from wind power operations dropping 19.7% to 1.808 billion yuan and solar power profit plunging 58.7% to 233 million yuan. These declines were not fully offset by a 9% increase in profit from coal-fired power plants, which reached 4.341 billion yuan. During the period, the company's electricity sales in China decreased by 4.8% year-on-year, while the average selling price fell 5.6% to 460.73 yuan per megawatt-hour.
