EB ENVIRONMENT is a prominent domestic waste-to-energy enterprise. Its 2024 annual report reveals it is China's largest environmental company and the world's largest investor and operator in waste-to-power. Citigroup issued a research report reiterating its "Buy" rating on EB ENVIRONMENT. The rating is based on expectations that the company achieved positive free cash flow growth last year, which is for the first time sufficient to cover financing costs and dividend payments, thereby supporting sustained dividend growth; more prudent capital expenditures, primarily directed towards overseas projects with returns higher than domestic projects; and the catalyst of a potential A-share dual listing, which is expected to drive a re-rating of the H-share value. The bank believes that the company's profit growth this year is expected to accelerate year-on-year.
