What CRRC does

World's largest maker of railway rolling stock — locomotives, high-speed trains and metro cars.

Sells trains mainly through tenders run by the state railway operator and city metro systems, so orders follow the railway investment plan and fleet replacement schedule. It was formed in 2015 by merging the two state rolling-stock makers CSR and CNR, and maintenance and overhaul of trains in service gives it a second revenue line.

In one line: China's Alstom/Wabtec, at much larger scale.

Questions

Who are CRRC's main competitors?
Named competitors: Alstom (ALO.PA), Siemens Mobility (SIE.DE), Wabtec (WAB), Hyundai Rotem (064350.KS). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Epiroc (EPI-A.ST), Sany Heavy Industry (600031.SS), Komatsu (6301.T), Doosan Enerbility (034020.KS), Hd Hyundai Heavy Industries (329180.KS), China CSSC (600150.SS).
Is CRRC expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 13.0× against a peer median of 15.1×, 8th cheapest of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -6% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +4%, so the hurdle is -10 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has CRRC stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +9.7% against -10.3% for the median peer; over one year -17.9%.

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.
