Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that after the "peak summer" period, there may be adjustments in the pace of coal price recovery, but with the heating season starting in October, coal price support is expected to strengthen again, indicating that the low point of coal prices in June may be the lowest for the year [1][5] - The coal industry is expected to see a rational release of supply in the second half of the year, combined with marginal improvements in demand, leading to an overall rebound in coal prices, which will aid in the recovery of industry profitability [1][2] - The domestic electricity demand is projected to grow steadily, with a forecasted year-on-year growth rate of 5-6% by 2025, and an expected improvement in coal demand in the second half of the year compared to the first half [3] Group 2 - Policy adjustments are expected to lead to a more rational coal supply, reducing the "quantity compensates for price" situation and enhancing safety and sustainability in the industry [4] - Coking coal prices are anticipated to rebound, but the sustainability of this rebound will depend on whether production cuts are realized and if iron and steel production meets expectations [6] - The report recommends focusing on high-dividend stocks and those with high profit elasticity in the short term, while favoring companies with strong resource endowments and cost advantages in the long term, including China Shenhua (601088), China Coal Energy (601898), and others [7]

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" and maintained [10] Core Viewpoints - The report emphasizes the potential for coal prices to rebound due to the "anti-involution" policy, which is expected to lead to actual production cuts and improve coal prices. The analysis is based on the mean reversion of return on equity (ROE) and the reasonable profit distribution levels of thermal coal and coking coal within their respective industrial chains [2][6][8] Summary by Sections Introduction - The "anti-involution" policy has catalyzed significant increases in coal commodities and equity prices. The report highlights the importance of understanding the future space for coal under this policy, particularly following the State Energy Administration's notice regarding coal mine production inspections [6][18] ROE Perspective - The report calculates the expected central price levels for thermal coal and coking coal based on historical average ROE. The central price for thermal coal is estimated at 749 CNY/ton, which is 96 CNY/ton higher than the price of 653 CNY/ton on July 25, 2025 (+14.7%). For coking coal, the central price is estimated at 1838 CNY/ton, which is 158 CNY/ton higher than the July 25 price of 1680 CNY/ton (+9.4%) [6][34][35] Industry Chain Perspective - The report assesses the reasonable price levels for thermal coal and coking coal based on profit distribution in the coal-electricity and coal-steel industrial chains. It estimates that the reasonable price for thermal coal could be between 776 CNY/ton and 835 CNY/ton, reflecting potential increases of 18.9% and 27.9% respectively from current prices. For coking coal, the reasonable price could range from 1707 CNY/ton to 2094 CNY/ton, with corresponding increases of 1.6% to 24.7% [7][44][45] Investment Recommendations - The report suggests that there is still room for price-to-book (PB) mean reversion, indicating a favorable investment ratio for coal stocks. It recommends focusing on short-term rebounds and long-term reversal opportunities in the coal sector. Specific stock recommendations include: 1. Elastic stocks: Lu'an Environmental Energy, Pingmei Shenma, Huaibei Mining, Shanxi Coking Coal, Yanzhou Coal, Jinkong Coal, and Shanmei International 2.
