Core Viewpoint - The coal mining sector experienced a decline of 0.38% on December 25, with China Coal Energy leading the drop. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.47% and the Shenzhen Component Index increased by 0.33% [1]. Group 1: Market Performance - The coal mining sector's stocks showed mixed performance, with notable declines in major companies such as China Coal Energy, which fell by 1.40% to a closing price of 12.70 [2]. - The trading volume for China Coal Energy was 160,500 shares, with a transaction value of 205 million yuan [2]. - Other companies in the sector, like Jiangxi Tungsten Equipment and Jinko Energy, also saw declines of 1.17% and 0.97%, respectively [2].

Core Insights - In 2025, coal prices significantly declined, leading to a return of sector profitability to the lowest levels in the past decade. However, the outlook for 2026 suggests potential demand improvement and limited supply capacity utilization, which may lead to a recovery in coal price levels [2][5][6]. - The report emphasizes that with a clear supply-demand improvement and the presence of both defensive and offensive investment opportunities, the likelihood of success for selected stocks is high. If demand is strong and coal prices improve beyond expectations, attention should be given to currently undervalued stocks with low liquidity and lower profit margins [2][7]. Industry Overview - The coal industry faced a challenging year in 2025, with thermal coal prices dropping from 855 CNY/ton in 2024 to 697 CNY/ton, an 18% decrease. The profitability of the sector fell to the 30th percentile of the past decade due to weak demand driven by warm weather and sluggish manufacturing electricity consumption [5][16]. - Coking coal prices also saw a significant decline, dropping 26% from 2024's 2022 CNY/ton to 1502 CNY/ton, with profitability at the 10th percentile of the past decade. This was primarily due to strong supply, with a 1.5% year-on-year increase in coking coal supply in the first three quarters of 2025 [5][16]. Demand and Supply Dynamics - For thermal coal in 2026, demand improvement is anticipated, with limited supply growth expected. The report identifies three key questions regarding market resilience: whether negative growth in thermal power will become the norm, if domestic supply can be controlled, and whether rising coal prices will increase imports [6][30]. - The report suggests that the central government's focus on controlling "involution" competition will continue to limit supply growth in 2026, despite some new production capacity coming online. Long-term resource depletion may also exert upward pressure on domestic coal prices [6][30]. Investment Recommendations - The report advocates for investment in the coal sector in 2026, highlighting the potential for a bottom reversal. It suggests that the timing for investment should align with capital flows, particularly in the first quarter when there is often a demand for increased allocation to dividend-paying sectors [7][30]. - Recommended stocks include Yanzhou Coal Mining Company and China Shenhua Energy, which are expected to benefit from a recovery in coal prices to a range of 750-800 CNY/ton. Additionally, stocks with significant growth potential and low valuations, such as Huayang Co. and Jinkong Coal Industry, are highlighted as potential targets if demand and price improvements exceed expectations [7][30].

Group 2: Supply Side Dynamics - The "anti-involution" policy aims to break low-price competition and shift the industry focus from scale expansion to quality improvement. The National Energy Administration has initiated capacity verification for coal mines in several provinces, which may lead to a decline in production due to stricter safety regulations [3]. - The coal import tax reinstated on January 1, 2024, and the emphasis on controlling low-quality coal imports are expected to reduce the volume of imported coal, with a notable 11% decrease in coal and lignite imports from January to November 2025 [3]. Group 3: Demand Side Insights - Thermal power generation is expected to remain resilient, with a projected increase in demand driven by AI computing power, which is anticipated to significantly boost electricity consumption in data centers [4]. - The cumulative thermal power generation from January to October 2025 was 52,130.5 billion kWh, showing a slight year-on-year decline, but thermal power is expected to play a crucial role in meeting electricity demand during peak periods [4]. Group 4: Dividend and Investment Outlook - The coal industry is witnessing a shift towards higher dividend payouts, with companies like China Shenhua and Shaanxi Coal aiming to maintain or increase their cash dividend ratios, reflecting a broader trend of enhancing shareholder returns [5]. - The introduction of market value management assessments and the emphasis on cash dividends are expected to strengthen the investment value of coal companies, with a focus on stable and sustainable returns [5].
