About 002352
S.F.Holding provides express delivery, freight, cold-chain logistics and supply-chain services in China and overseas. FY2025 premium time-definite express supplied 42.5% of revenue and supply-chain/international services 23.7%.
- Physical Network Density
A directly operated pickup-to-delivery network, 111 all-cargo aircraft and the Ezhou hub support service control and hard-to-replicate coverage; the rating is capped because SF discloses no comparative unit cost, on-time rate or utilization advantage.
- Brand Trust
SF associates its premium brand with reliability, while its reported enterprise penetration supports repeat usage and contract continuity.
- Scale Economies Unit Cost
Scale and shared-network use can spread sorting and line-haul costs; 2025 economy express revenue rose 17.6% and SF reported a market-share gain.
- Switching Costs General
Supply-chain customers can integrate transport, customs, inventory and warehouse operations with SF systems, making a move costly.
- Sep 22, 2026
SF completed RMB10 billion of notes at 1.75% due 2029 and 1.85% due 2031 for refinancing and general corporate use, extending funding at fixed rates.

- Sep 18, 2026

SF cancelled 160.16 million repurchased A shares, reducing issued capital after the RMB6 billion buyback programme.

A directly operated pickup-to-delivery network, 111 all-cargo aircraft and the Ezhou hub support service control and hard-to-replicate coverage; the rating is capped because SF discloses no comparative unit cost, on-time rate or utilization advantage.

Supply-chain customers can integrate transport, customs, inventory and warehouse operations with SF systems, making a move costly. Case studies support operational integration, but the report does not disclose contract renewal rates or customer switching costs.
Q3 supply-chain and international revenue rose 19.7%, but renewal rates and measured switching costs remain undisclosed, so growth alone does not establish a widening integration moat.

Profile change log
- Nov 11, 2026 · analyst revision
Reviewed the dated 51.2% share against the explicitly modeled China mid/high-end economy-express market and retained that matching scope. Updated demand and cash-spending evidence without treating revenue growth as customer renewal or lower unit cost.

SF completed RMB10 billion of notes at 1.75% due 2029 and 1.85% due 2031 for refinancing and general corporate use, extending funding at fixed rates.

- Oct 9, 2026 · analyst revision
Four moat trajectories, operating indicators, management and the business debate now distinguish service reputation and network coverage from unverified retention, pricing and unit-cost advantages.
- Oct 9, 2026 · analyst revision
Revenue weights now use the FY2025 product table. Freight includes large parcels and full-truckload service; its China LTL-only market share and the international segment's China supply-chain-only share now appear as narrower KPIs rather than shares of their whole segments.
- Oct 9, 2026 · business change
SF completed the Fengwang disposal to J&T, exiting its low-price franchise express operation and concentrating on higher-value delivery.
- Oct 9, 2026 · business change

SF sold a 15.8636% Hive Box stake to its controlling shareholder for about CNY952 million, retaining a smaller stake and recording about CNY874 million of after-tax profit.
- Oct 9, 2026 · business change
SF regained full control of Cuiyu Holdings and Gute Development through a joint-venture reorganization, adding logistics property and a CNY1.233 billion bargain-purchase gain.
- Oct 9, 2026 · analyst revision
Operating indicator history now shows the 2021-2024 corporate customer base and product revenue, 2024 aircraft capacity and 2023 use of multiple services. The international market uses the global integrated-logistics ranking; cold-chain demand uses the newer 2031 service-revenue forecast.
- Oct 9, 2026 · analyst revision
The financial history now includes recoverable 2016-2017 research expense, older liquid investments, buybacks and depreciation. Share-payment figures now include cash-settled awards and reversals, which were omitted by the cash-flow add-back. The 2016 property bargain-purchase gain uses its exact non-operating amount. The A/H market value now uses the verified October 8 closing exchange rate. Aircraft-life estimates remain in reported profit; IR overview evidence is labeled as company material.
- Oct 9, 2026 · business change
SF bought 45.844 million H shares of SF Intra-city, raising its direct and indirect ownership to 63.4797% of issued shares including treasury. This increases its share of future subsidiary profit and uses capital without adding new consolidated revenue.

Drivers & risks
- Industrial supply chains and premium retail need reliable delivery windows and secure handling.
- Direct delivery to the recipient and faster service differentiate carriers from low-price parcel networks.
- High route density and air/ground coordination spread the cost of hubs and improve coverage.
- Automation can lower sorting and planning costs as parcel density rises.
- Weak consumption and manufacturing slow demand for premium shipments and leave fixed capacity underused.
- Higher jet fuel and labor costs hurt economics unless price or mix compensates.
- EMS and other integrated carriers can compete on important lanes despite nationwide scale barriers.
- Aviation slots, safety rules and customer-consent requirements can raise operating costs.
Bulls & bears
Can SF turn a richer parcel mix and international expansion into more cash after funding its network, without losing the volume needed to cover fixed costs?
Arguments
What to watch
- 1Express parcel volume and revenue per parcel on the same reporting basis
