What Grandblue Environment does

One of China's largest waste-to-energy and water-treatment operators, running municipal incineration and treatment plants nationwide.

Is paid by local governments for the waste it burns, usually a fee per tonne, and sells the electricity the plants generate to the grid, under long-term concessions to build and operate plants. Water treatment earns per-tonne fees in the same way. Payment depends on municipal budgets.

In one line: A large Chinese Covanta/American Water hybrid for waste and water utilities.

Is Grandblue Environment expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 11.0× against a peer median of 14.9×, 5th cheapest of 17 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -5% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +13%, so the hurdle is -18 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Grandblue Environment stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -3.5% against -9.9% for the median peer; over one year +8.0%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
