1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the utilities industry is "Bullish" [2] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The power sector is expected to see improved profitability and value re - evaluation after multiple rounds of power supply - demand contradictions. Coal - fired power's peak - shaving value is prominent, electricity prices may rise slightly, and the cost of coal - fired power enterprises is controllable. The performance of power operators is likely to improve significantly. For the natural gas sector, with the decline in upstream gas prices and the recovery of domestic consumption, the urban gas business can achieve stable gross margins and high growth in sales volume. Traders with low - cost long - term contract gas sources and receiving terminal assets may increase profits [5][98] 3.
