Group 1 - The report highlights that industrial metal prices have shown a significant upward trend, particularly for copper and tin, which are constrained by supply issues. Prices have gradually increased throughout the year, with copper reaching a historical high [14][15][39]. - The overall performance of the non-ferrous metal sector has been impressive, with a year-to-date weighted average increase of 100.46% as of December 11, 2025, outperforming major indices like the Shanghai Composite and CSI 300 [26][33]. - The macroeconomic environment is expected to remain favorable for industrial metals in 2026, with continued liquidity support from the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and domestic policies aimed at boosting demand [39][10]. Group 2 - The report identifies AI and energy storage as significant drivers of marginal demand growth for copper and aluminum, with substantial capital expenditures from major cloud service providers expected to continue [45][58]. - For copper, the demand from AI data centers is projected to add approximately 26.8 thousand tons to total copper demand in 2026, driven by increased infrastructure investments [58][59]. - In the aluminum sector, while demand growth is anticipated, it is expected to be more limited compared to copper, with projected aluminum demand from data centers reaching around 78 thousand tons globally by 2026 [64][66]. Group 3 - The supply side for copper remains constrained due to ongoing production cuts and delays in new mining projects, which are expected to exacerbate structural shortages in the market [42][43]. - The aluminum market is facing a rigid supply ceiling domestically, with limited growth in production capacity and risks of shutdowns due to high electricity costs [43][44]. - The report recommends several companies with strong growth potential in the copper sector, including Shengtun Mining, Zangge Mining, and Zijin Mining, as well as companies in the aluminum sector like China Aluminum and China Hongqiao [11][39].

Core Viewpoint - The electrolytic aluminum market has entered a strong upward trend since 2025, driven by tight supply-demand dynamics, with domestic and international prices reaching new highs [1][3]. Supply Side Summary - The domestic electrolytic aluminum industry has entered a "stock replacement" era, with a production capacity ceiling set at approximately 45 million tons due to dual constraints from industry consensus on "anti-involution" and "carbon peak" policies [3]. - It is estimated that net new production capacity in China will only increase by 200,000 tons by 2025, with a total foreseeable increase of only 560,000 tons, making it difficult to effectively supplement market supply [3]. - Although countries like India and Indonesia are advancing new capacity construction, factors such as unstable power supply will hinder full production capacity by 2026, exacerbating the tight supply situation in the domestic market [3]. Demand Side Summary - Structural upgrades in demand are providing sustained upward momentum for electrolytic aluminum prices, with traditional construction sector demand stabilizing while the new energy sector becomes the core growth engine [5]. - The demand from the new energy vehicle industry continues to grow, with increased aluminum usage per vehicle due to lightweight trends; the acceleration of ultra-high voltage construction is significantly boosting demand for aluminum cables [5]. - The "aluminum replacing copper" trend in the power and electronics sectors is further expanding the application space for electrolytic aluminum, with projected demand growth rates of 2.1% in 2025 and 2026, outpacing supply growth of 1.6% [5]. Cost Side Summary - The release of cost dividends is a significant driver of profit expansion in the electrolytic aluminum industry, with key raw material prices, such as alumina, experiencing a decline due to ample supply [6]. - For instance, the domestic alumina futures price fell below 2,500 yuan/ton, nearly halving from its peak a year ago, contributing to an expanding profit margin for the industry [6]. - Major companies are showing stable profitability and improved cash flow, with China Aluminum leading the industry with a net profit of 10.872 billion yuan, a historical high for the same period, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 20.65% [6]. Industry Outlook - The tight supply-demand balance in the electrolytic aluminum industry is expected to persist, with demand growth in the new energy sector being a core driver for long-term industry development [6]. - Leading companies are likely to benefit from their production capacity advantages, industry chain layout, and cost control capabilities during this high-profit cycle [6]. - The acceleration of the "aluminum replacing copper" process and gradual recovery in overseas markets will further open up growth space for the electrolytic aluminum industry, with increasing industry concentration expected during the stock replacement phase [6].
