PETALING JAYA: Solarvest Holdings Bhd
is poised to chart another record showing for its financial year 2026 ending March 31 (FY26), due to, among other things, its strong engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) order book.
Phillip Research said it expects FY26 to be another record earnings year for the company supported by its robust RM1.2bil outstanding EPCC order book, comprising RM486mil worth of Corporate Green Power Programme projects, RM504mil in the fifth phase of the government’s Large-Scale Solar (LSS5) projects, as well as RM252mil in residential, commercial and industrial projects.
In a recent meeting, the research house said the company’s management remained committed to further growing its order book to surpass RM2bil in FY26, underpinned by replenishment opportunities arising from LSS5, LSS5+ and the rolling out of battery energy storage systems.
Solarvest has already secured a 30% share of the total two gigawatt (GW) capacity under LSS5 and is currently in active negotiations to finalise additional EPCC contracts by the third quarter of this financial year (3Q25), which could potentially lift its share to between 40% and 50%, the research house added.
“Looking ahead, the upcoming LSS5+ project is expected to introduce a further two GW of quota into the market, with bid finalisation anticipated by July 25, and EPCC contract awards commencing in 1Q26.
“Backed by a strong track record for execution in the LSS programme and robust bidding advisory capabilities, we anticipate Solarvest to maintain its 30% market share in LSS5+.”
This includes the group’s newly secured LSS5 projects and its Brunei solar venture, said the research house.
“The group now has a 334 megawatt pipeline of solar assets, targeted to be operational by FY28,” the research house said.
Maintaining a “buy” call on Solarvest with a higher target price of RM3.05, Phillip Research said it continues to like the company for its leading position in the solar-energy sector and for being a key beneficiary of the nation’s energy-transition goals.
Key downside risks include changes in the government’s renewable-energy policy, project execution delays, intense market competition, and volatility in solar module prices.
