Summary of Coal Industry Conference Call Industry Overview - The coal industry is expected to face a tight supply-demand situation in 2025, with domestic production limited and imports decreasing, leading to an overall supply reduction of 100-150 million tons [1][6][18]. - The demand for electricity from urban residents and the tertiary industry is expected to grow strongly, despite a potential slowdown in thermal power growth [1][18]. Key Insights and Arguments - Coal prices have risen approximately 30% in 2025, with short-term peaks expected between 720-750 RMB/ton, followed by a potential second dip [1][10]. - The average coal price is projected to stabilize between 650-680 RMB/ton for the year, with a possible increase of 10%-15% in 2026, reaching 700-720 RMB/ton [1][10]. - High dividend-paying thermal coal companies such as China Shenhua, China Coal Energy, Yanzhou Coal, Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry, and Jinneng Holding are recommended for long-term investment due to their strong resource backgrounds [1][12][15]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - Domestic coal production in 2024 is estimated at 4.74 billion tons, with imports reaching a record high of 540 million tons, although historically imports have supplemented domestic production, accounting for less than 10% [2]. - The demand side of the coal industry is divided into thermal coal (60% of consumption) and coking coal (20%), with the remaining 20% split between construction materials and chemicals [3]. Price Trends and Market Sentiment - The coal industry has seen a high capacity utilization rate, with limited potential for new capacity approvals, leading to a weak supply outlook in the medium to long term [4][18]. - The investment logic for coal stocks has shifted from traditional cyclical commodities to a focus on high dividends and stable earnings, particularly in a low-interest-rate environment [15][19]. Performance of Key Companies - China Shenhua is expected to report annual earnings between 48 billion to 49 billion RMB, with a dividend yield of approximately 5%, outperforming other sectors [17]. - The acquisition of assets from the National Energy Group by China Shenhua is viewed positively for long-term stock price and performance enhancement, marking a significant step in state-owned enterprise reform [13]. Future Outlook - The coal price cycle is anticipated to continue upward, driven by strong demand from urban residents and the tertiary sector, alongside potential impacts from AI and extreme weather [4][18]. - The coal sector is expected to experience a new historical configuration peak after a second dip in prices, with high dividend stocks remaining attractive [19]. Additional Considerations - The coal industry's investment logic has evolved since 2022, focusing more on dividend stability and less on cyclical price movements [15]. - The overall market sentiment indicates a shift towards high dividend-paying stocks as a preferred investment strategy in the current economic climate [19].

The cost of domestic coal is lower than that of Australian imports by 7 RMB/ton [18][19].

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Recommended" rating for the coal mining industry [1] Core Viewpoints - The strategic restructuring plan between Pingmei Group and Henan Energy Group reflects ongoing regional asset reorganization in the coal industry, aiming to reduce homogeneous competition and lower costs, while enhancing resource reserves and development momentum [3][4] - The coal mining industry is characterized by high asset quality, strong cash flow, and significant dividend yields, making it an attractive investment opportunity [7] Summary by Sections Recent Trends - The coal mining sector has shown a mixed performance over the past year, with a 1.0% decline over the last month, a 6.8% increase over three months, and a 9.5% decrease over twelve months [2] Key Companies and Financials - Henan Energy Group reported approximately 63.8 billion CNY in revenue and a net profit of 0.81 million CNY for the first half of 2025, with total assets of 258.6 billion CNY and a debt ratio of 83% [3] - Pingmei Group reported approximately 78.8 billion CNY in revenue and a net profit of 2.4 billion CNY for the first half of 2025, with total assets of 263.8 billion CNY and a debt ratio of 68.8% [3] Coal Price Trends - As of September 26, 2025, the port price for thermal coal was 701 CNY/ton, reflecting a slight decrease of 3 CNY/ton week-on-week, while pithead prices in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Shaanxi increased by 19.00, 13.00, and 3.00 CNY/ton respectively [4][15] - The average price for main coking coal at the port was 1,750 CNY/ton, with a week-on-week increase of 80 CNY/ton [39][40] Supply and Demand Dynamics - The capacity utilization rate in the Sanxi region increased by 1.12 percentage points to 90.94% as of September 24, 2025, indicating a recovery in production [21] - The daily coal consumption at coastal and inland power plants decreased by 18.6 and 35.1 thousand tons respectively, reflecting a seasonal decline in demand [23][33] Investment Opportunities - Recommended stocks include China Shenhua, Shaanxi Coal, Yanzhou Coal, and others, with a focus on companies exhibiting strong cash flow and high dividend yields [7][9]

Investment Rating - The investment rating for the coal industry is "Positive" (maintained) [1] Core Viewpoints - The report indicates that thermal coal prices have rebounded above 700 yuan per ton, with a peak of 706 yuan per ton observed recently. The demand for non-electric coal is expected to be a highlight in the upcoming months [3][4] - The report emphasizes that both thermal coal and coking coal prices have reached a turning point, with expectations for further price recovery due to supply-demand dynamics and seasonal demand shifts [4][5] Summary by Sections Investment Logic - Thermal coal is categorized as a policy coal type, with prices expected to recover to long-term contract prices. The current price has surpassed the second target price, which is around 700 yuan per ton. Future expectations suggest a potential recovery to a third target price of approximately 750 yuan per ton by 2025, with a fourth target price around 860 yuan per ton [4][13] - Coking coal prices are more influenced by market dynamics, with target prices set based on the ratio of coking coal to thermal coal prices. The current ratio indicates target prices for coking coal at 1608 yuan, 1680 yuan, 1800 yuan, and 2064 yuan corresponding to thermal coal's target prices [4][13] Investment Recommendations - The report outlines a dual logic for coal stocks: cyclical elasticity and stable dividends. The current low prices of thermal and coking coal provide room for rebound, supported by supply-side policies and seasonal demand expectations [5][14] - Four main lines of coal stock selection are recommended: 1. Cyclical logic: Jin控煤业, 兖矿能源 for thermal coal; 平煤股份, 淮北矿业, 潞安环能 for metallurgical coal 2. Dividend logic: 中国神华, 中煤能源, 陕西煤业 3. Diversified aluminum elasticity: 神火股份, 电投能源 4. Growth logic: 新集能源, 广汇能源 [5][14] Market Performance - The coal index experienced a slight decline of 1.37%, underperforming the CSI 300 index by 2.44 percentage points. The average PE ratio for the coal sector is 13.49, and the PB ratio is 1.26, ranking low among all A-share industries [8][30][31]

Investment Rating - The investment rating for the coal mining industry is "Positive" [2] Core Viewpoints - The current phase is seen as the beginning of a new upward cycle in the coal economy, with a resonance between fundamentals and policies, making it an opportune time to accumulate coal sector investments [11][12] - The supply side is constrained, with the sample coal mine capacity utilization rates for thermal coal at 93.8% (+0.5 percentage points) and coking coal at 86.46% (+1.81 percentage points) [11][46] - Demand has shown a decrease in daily consumption in inland and coastal provinces, with inland provinces down by 37.80 thousand tons/day (-11.14%) and coastal provinces down by 12.50 thousand tons/day (-5.61%) [11][47] - The report anticipates that coal prices will continue to strengthen due to rigid supply constraints, seasonal demand increases, and maintenance impacts on transportation lines [11][12] Summary by Sections 1.
