Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Recommended" rating for the coal mining industry [1] Core Viewpoints - The coal mining industry has seen an unexpected improvement in fundamentals as of July 2025, with significant changes in production and demand dynamics [2][7] - The report highlights a notable decline in coal production and imports in July, alongside a significant increase in thermal power demand due to high temperatures [11][30] - The overall supply of coal has contracted, while demand from key sectors such as electricity generation has shown signs of recovery [12][50] Summary by Sections Recent Trends - The coal mining sector's performance over the last month shows a 6.8% increase over one month, a 3.5% increase over three months, but a 5.2% decrease over twelve months [4] Supply Dynamics - In July 2025, the production of raw coal decreased by 3.8% year-on-year, with a daily average production of 12.29 million tons, reflecting a month-on-month reduction of 1.746 million tons per day [19][21] - The report notes that coal imports in July 2025 were 35.609 million tons, down 23% year-on-year, indicating a tightening supply [9][29] Demand Dynamics - The demand for thermal power increased significantly in July, with a year-on-year growth of 4.3%, marking a 3.2 percentage point increase from June [11][30] - The report estimates that the four major industries (electricity, steel, chemicals, and construction materials) contributed to a 3.8% year-on-year increase in coal consumption in July [50] Inventory Management - By the end of July, coal inventories at production enterprises decreased by 168,000 tons to 4.096 million tons, indicating effective inventory management [51][52] Investment Recommendations - The report suggests focusing on stable companies such as China Shenhua, Shaanxi Coal, and China Coal Energy, as well as companies with greater elasticity in thermal coal like Yanzhou Coal and Jinneng Holding [12][14]

Investment Rating - The report maintains a cautious recommendation for Lu'an Huanneng and a recommendation for Jin Control Coal Industry, Huayang Co., Shanxi Coal International, China Shenhua, Zhongmei Energy, Shaanxi Coal Industry, and Zhongguang Nuclear Mining [3][4][10]. Core Viewpoints - Supply contraction is evident, with port inventories declining again and coal prices showing sufficient elasticity. Since April, domestic production and imports from Xinjiang have significantly reduced, with a year-on-year decline of 3.8% in national raw coal production in July. The National Energy Administration has initiated production inspections in key provinces, leading to self-reduction in some overproducing mines. A comprehensive reduction in overproducing mines is expected by late August, further tightening supply. As a result, port inventories have significantly decreased compared to the same period last year, and power plant inventories have also declined. Demand has been recovering since June, with total electricity generation increasing by 3.1% year-on-year in July [1][7][8]. - Coal prices have rebounded from 615 CNY/ton to 700 CNY/ton since early July, with expectations of continued upward momentum, potentially reaching levels above 800 CNY/ton and possibly breaking through 1000 CNY/ton if production cuts are effective. The report suggests focusing on companies with high spot price elasticity, particularly those in Shanxi province, which has minimized the impact of the current production limits [1][7][8]. - Strong support from essential demand indicates that coking coal prices still have room for upward movement. Despite some fluctuations in coking coal prices, supply-side reductions are anticipated, and demand may see a temporary decline due to limited production expectations in Shandong and Hebei. However, strong supply contraction is also expected, suggesting potential for price increases [2][9][10]. Summary by Sections Supply and Demand Dynamics - The report highlights a significant reduction in coal supply, with national raw coal production experiencing its first year-on-year decline in 2025, down 3.8% in July. The National Energy Administration's inspections are expected to lead to further production cuts, tightening supply conditions [1][7][35]. - Demand for coal has shown signs of recovery, with total electricity generation increasing by 3.1% year-on-year in July, and coal consumption in the chemical industry also rising by 13.6% year-on-year [1][9][35]. Price Trends - Coal prices have rebounded significantly, with expectations of continued increases due to improved supply-demand dynamics. The report anticipates that coal prices could reach levels above 800 CNY/ton and potentially exceed 1000 CNY/ton if production cuts are effectively implemented [1][7][8]. Company Recommendations - The report recommends focusing on companies with high spot price elasticity, such as Lu'an Huanneng, and those with stable performance and growth potential, including Jin Control Coal Industry and Huayang Co. Additionally, it suggests monitoring industry leaders like China Shenhua and Zhongmei Energy for their robust performance [2][3][10].
