Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry: Yellow Phosphorus Sector Core Insights and Arguments 1. Current high prices of sulfur/sulfuric acid are impacting the cost of wet-process phosphoric acid, leading to wet-process phosphoric acid costs exceeding those of thermal phosphoric acid. This may result in some wet-process phosphoric acid companies temporarily shifting to the lower-cost thermal phosphoric acid, thereby increasing the usage of yellow phosphorus [1][3] 2. Following the Spring Festival, the demand for phosphoric acid is expected to surge due to the seasonal peak, but the production of yellow phosphorus may not keep pace with the increased demand, leading to a supply-demand mismatch [2][4] 3. The supply of yellow phosphorus has been constrained in recent years due to high energy consumption and safety concerns, making significant capacity expansion difficult in the short term [5] 4. The combination of a slight increase in demand and limited supply may lead to a price increase for yellow phosphorus after the Spring Festival [6] Notable Companies in the Yellow Phosphorus Sector 1. Recommended companies include: - Chengxing Co., Ltd. (the purest yellow phosphorus stock) - Yuntu Holdings - Yuntianhua - Xingfa Group [7]
