Investment Rating - The report maintains an "Outperform" rating for the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry, indicating expected performance above the market average [2][7]. Core Insights - The demand for SAF is primarily driven by policy initiatives, particularly in the EU, which mandates a 2% blending ratio by 2025, with a long-term goal of 70% by 2050. The IATA projects that SAF demand could reach 358 million tons by 2050, indicating significant growth potential [3][11]. - There is a notable supply-demand gap in the European SAF market, with consumption expected to reach 1.9 million tons this year against a production capacity of only 1 million tons. This gap is likely to be filled by producers in the Asia-Pacific region, including China, which has the potential to significantly increase its SAF production capacity [3][13]. - The high cost of SAF compared to traditional jet fuel has led to a general reluctance among airlines to adopt it. However, the EU's stringent blending requirements are pushing airlines to increase their SAF procurement, resulting in a rapid price increase for SAF [4][18]. - The report recommends investing in "Zhuoyue New Energy" and related SAF companies, highlighting Zhuoyue as a leading domestic biodiesel producer with significant SAF production capacity planned [4][26]. Summary by Sections Market Dynamics - As of September 17, the price of high-end SAF in China reached $2,480 per ton, a 55% increase from $1,800 per ton at the beginning of the year. This price surge is attributed to the scarcity of SAF raw materials and the unchanged mandatory blending targets [3][21]. - The European market is experiencing a significant increase in SAF consumption, with a projected 216% year-on-year growth, while the production capacity remains limited [13][18]. Policy Framework - The EU has established comprehensive SAF application targets and carbon reduction goals, with regulations mandating a 2% SAF blend starting in 2025 and a long-term goal of 70% by 2050 [5][10]. - Other countries, including the UK, the US, Japan, and South Korea, are also implementing policies to promote SAF usage, with specific blending targets set for the coming years [6][8][9]. Production Capacity - China is expected to play a crucial role in filling the SAF production gap in Europe, with domestic companies planning to establish over 1 million tons of SAF production capacity by the end of 2024 [3][13]. - The report outlines various projects across China, detailing planned and existing SAF production capacities, indicating a robust growth trajectory for the industry [14][17].

Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Index Dividend Points Estimation Model **Model Construction Idea**: This model aims to estimate the dividend points of stock indices to account for the impact of constituent stock dividends on index futures' premium/discount levels. It is essential for accurately calculating the basis and premium/discount levels of index futures contracts[11][44][47] **Model Construction Process**: 1. **Formula**: Dividend Points = $ \sum_{n=1}^{N} \frac{\text{Dividend Amount of Constituent Stock}}{\text{Total Market Value of Constituent Stock}} \times \text{Constituent Stock Weight} \times \text{Index Closing Price} $ - \( N \): Number of constituent stocks - Dividend amounts are considered only if the ex-dividend date falls between the current date (\( t \)) and the contract expiration date (\( T \))[44] 2. **Steps**: - Obtain constituent stock weights and index closing prices - For stocks with announced dividend amounts and ex-dividend dates, use the provided data - For stocks without announced data, estimate dividend amounts based on historical net profit and payout ratios, and predict ex-dividend dates using historical patterns[45][47] **Model Evaluation**: The model demonstrates high accuracy for indices like the SSE 50 and CSI 300, with prediction errors around 5 points. However, the accuracy for the CSI 500 index is slightly lower, with errors around 10 points[64] - **Model Name**: Dynamic Prediction of Net Profit **Model Construction Idea**: This model predicts annual net profit for constituent stocks based on historical profit distribution patterns, enabling the estimation of dividend amounts for stocks without disclosed data[50][53] **Model Construction Process**: 1. Classify companies into two categories: stable and unstable profit distribution 2. For stable companies, predict based on historical profit distribution patterns 3. For unstable companies, use the previous year's corresponding period profit as the prediction value[53][55] **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively captures profit trends for stable companies but may face challenges with companies exhibiting irregular profit patterns[53] - **Model Name**: Historical Dividend Payout Ratio Estimation **Model Construction Idea**: This model estimates the dividend payout ratio for constituent stocks based on historical averages, assuming stability in payout ratios for companies with consistent operations[54] **Model Construction Process**: 1. If the company paid dividends last year, use the previous year's payout ratio 2. If no dividends were paid last year, use the average payout ratio of the past three years 3. If the company has never paid dividends, assume no dividends for the current year 4. Cap the payout ratio at 100% to avoid unrealistic estimates[56] **Model Evaluation**: The model is suitable for companies with stable operations but may not be accurate for firms with volatile financial policies[54] - **Model Name**: Ex-Dividend Date Prediction Model **Model Construction Idea**: This model predicts the ex-dividend dates of constituent stocks based on historical intervals between announcement and ex-dividend dates[54][59] **Model Construction Process**: 1. If the ex-dividend date is announced, use the provided date 2. If not, estimate based on historical intervals between announcement and ex-dividend dates 3. Default dates are used for companies with no historical data or when historical dates are deemed unreliable[59] **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively predicts ex-dividend dates for most companies, with approximately 90% of firms completing dividends by the end of July[59] Model Backtesting Results - **Index Dividend Points Estimation Model**: - SSE 50 Index: Prediction error ~5 points[64] - CSI 300 Index: Prediction error ~5 points[64] - CSI 500 Index: Prediction error ~10 points[64] Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods - **Factor Name**: Constituent Stock Weight Adjustment Factor **Factor Construction Idea**: Adjust constituent stock weights dynamically to reflect daily changes in stock prices and corporate actions[48][49] **Factor Construction Process**: 1. Formula: $ W_{n,t} = \frac{w_{n0} \times (1 + r_{n})}{\sum_{i=1}^{N} w_{i0} \times (1 + r_{i})} $ - \( w_{n0} \): Weight of stock \( n \) at the last disclosed date - \( r_{n} \): Non-adjusted return of stock \( n \) since the last disclosed date 2. Use daily disclosed weights from the China Securities Index Company to ensure accuracy[48][49] **Factor Evaluation**: This factor improves the precision of weight adjustments, especially during periods of corporate actions like stock splits or rights issues[49] Factor Backtesting Results - **Constituent Stock Weight Adjustment Factor**: - Daily weight adjustments align closely with disclosed weights, ensuring high accuracy in index calculations[49]
