Investment Rating - The investment rating for Yanzhou Coal Mining Company (兖矿能源) is "Buy" and is maintained [9]. Core Views - The report highlights that Yanzhou Coal Mining Company is positioned to benefit from the recent stabilization of coal prices and the potential for price increases, driven by supply constraints in the coal market. The company exhibits both defensive and offensive characteristics, making it an attractive investment opportunity [2][6]. Summary by Sections Current Market Conditions - The report notes that the coal price has rebounded, with the port price for thermal coal reaching 688 RMB/ton as of August 12, an increase of 67 RMB/ton (+11%) since early July. This price recovery is attributed to ongoing supply tightening in the coal market [6]. Investment Logic - The investment logic for Yanzhou Coal Mining Company is based on several factors: 1. High proportion of spot sales allows the company to benefit significantly from price increases. 2. The company has a unique growth profile characterized by both organic growth and external acquisitions. 3. The significant discount of H-shares compared to A-shares enhances the investment value, particularly with a high dividend yield [2]. Sales and Profitability - Yanzhou Coal Mining Company has a high proportion of spot sales, with 52% of its self-produced coal sales being thermal coal, most of which is not under long-term contracts. This results in a higher earnings elasticity compared to other major coal producers. A 100 RMB/ton increase in thermal coal prices could potentially increase the company's earnings by approximately 5.3 billion RMB, representing a 56% increase in expected earnings for 2025 [12][14]. Growth Strategy - The company aims to achieve a coal production target of 300 million tons per year within 5-10 years. In 2024, the company produced 142 million tons of commodity coal, with plans for significant capacity expansions through both internal projects and acquisitions. The expected increase in coal production capacity is projected to be around 49.8 million tons per year [12][14]. Dividend Policy - Yanzhou Coal Mining Company has committed to a minimum dividend payout ratio of 60% from 2023 to 2025, with a projected dividend yield of 5.7% for H-shares in 2025. This high dividend yield is a key attraction for investors [12][17]. Financial Forecast - The company is expected to achieve a net profit of 9.5 billion RMB in 2025, translating to a price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 14.2x based on the closing price on August 12. The estimated dividend yield based on the 2024 payout ratio is 3.8% [12][25].
