Core Viewpoint - The photovoltaic industry is undergoing significant changes due to supply-side reforms, with a notable increase in polysilicon prices and market dynamics shifting towards a more concentrated structure among leading companies [1][17][29]. Group 1: Market Reactions - The polysilicon futures market reacted rapidly after the Central Financial Committee meeting on July 1, with main contract prices rising from 32,000 yuan to over 41,000 yuan, a nearly 30% increase in just eight trading days [1]. - In the stock market, leading polysilicon companies like Tongwei Co., Xiexin Technology, and Daqo New Energy saw stock prices increase by over 23% during the same period, although the stock market's reaction was slower compared to the futures market [3]. Group 2: Supply-Side Reform and Capacity Clearance - There is a consensus in the market regarding the need for supply-side reforms in the photovoltaic sector, but skepticism remains about the pace of capacity clearance and price increases [4]. - The last supply-side reform was initiated in November 2015, with coal and steel capacity clearance policies taking effect in February 2016, indicating that similar timelines may apply to the current photovoltaic reforms [5]. - Some analysts believe that the pace of policy implementation for photovoltaic capacity clearance may be faster than expected due to prior engagements with enterprises and directives from higher authorities [6][9]. Group 3: Pricing Dynamics - The average cost line for leading polysilicon manufacturers is above 40,000 yuan, establishing a price floor for polysilicon [12]. - Reports suggest that the target price for polysilicon should be at least 60,000 yuan to ensure that leading companies can cover costs and service debts, with some estimates suggesting prices may need to exceed 80,000 yuan [13][14]. - If polysilicon prices rise significantly, the ability of downstream manufacturers to pass on costs remains a contentious issue, with the current price increase primarily driven by supply-side reforms rather than demand from downstream sectors [15]. Group 4: Industry Outlook - The photovoltaic industry is experiencing a fundamental shift, indicating a reversal of previous difficulties, although the stock prices of leading companies have not yet fully reflected this change [17][18]. - The current situation in the photovoltaic sector is reminiscent of the coal industry's supply-side reforms initiated in 2016, which led to significant capacity reductions and price increases over time [19][22]. - The photovoltaic sector is expected to see a recovery in valuations, although the demand landscape may face uncertainties due to trade barriers and other external factors [29].
