天风证券研报指出，淮北矿业是低估值破净焦煤龙头，煤电化投产有望增厚业绩。截至2024年末，公司 拥有生产矿井17对，均位于安徽省，核定产能为3585万吨/年。未来公司煤炭产能增长主要来源于信湖 煤矿复产及陶忽图煤矿投产，其中信湖煤矿（300万吨/年）于2023年11月因出水而被迫停产，目前主 井、副井、风井已实现贯通，矿井供电、通风、人员定位等保障系统已全面恢复，永久性排水系统已建 成，公司在保证安全的前提下加快进度，力争早日恢复生产。由于山西焦煤、平煤股份、潞安环能、恒 源煤电四家公司与淮北矿业一样，同属于焦煤主业上市公司，可以作为淮北矿业可比公司，公司目前估 值处于较低水平，存在估值修复可能。公司煤炭、电力、煤化工等业务均具备成长性，给予公司2025年 25倍PE，对应2025年目标价16.75元，首次覆盖，给予"买入"评级。 ...
