Core Viewpoint - The coal supply-demand fundamentals are expected to improve due to the "check overproduction" policy leading to reduced output and the anticipated recovery in non-electric coal demand during the "golden September and silver October" peak season, providing upward price elasticity for both types of coal [1][3]. Group 1: Coal Price Dynamics - Thermal coal is categorized as a policy coal type, with expectations for prices to rebound to long-term contract prices, recently surpassing the second target price of around 700 CNY per ton [2]. - The current adjustment in prices is attributed to the seasonal transition from summer to autumn, which has weakened coal consumption, but the upcoming peak season is expected to drive prices up again, particularly in the chemical sector [2][3]. - Coking coal prices are more influenced by supply-demand fundamentals, with target prices based on the ratio of coking coal to thermal coal prices, indicating potential target prices of 1608 CNY, 1680 CNY, 1800 CNY, and 2064 CNY for different levels of market performance [2]. Group 2: Investment Opportunities - The coal sector exhibits dual attributes of cyclical elasticity and stable dividends, with many coal companies maintaining high dividend yields despite overall profit pressures [3]. - Six listed coal companies have announced interim dividend plans totaling 24.13 billion CNY, reflecting a strong commitment to shareholder returns [3]. - Key coal stocks benefiting from these trends include: - Cycle logic: Jin控煤业, 兖矿能源, 平煤股份, 淮北矿业, 潞安环能 - Dividend logic: 中国神华, 中煤能源, 陕西煤业 - Diversified aluminum elasticity: 神火股份, 电投能源 - Growth logic: 新集能源, 广汇能源 [3].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the fundamental reason for the frequent global power shortages is the rapid growth in global electricity demand, while the supply side's structural bottlenecks have not been effectively resolved. Traditional energy generation, represented by coal power, will remain a stabilizing force in the global electricity system in the medium to long term [1][3] - Global electricity demand is expected to grow at a rate of 4.4% in 2024, significantly outpacing the global GDP growth of 2.9%. This growth is driven by three deep-seated factors: deep electrification in the industrial sector, rapid expansion of data centers driven by artificial intelligence, and increased extreme weather events due to global climate change [1][2] - The supply side of the electricity market faces structural bottlenecks, with renewable energy sources like wind and solar power unable to provide stable support for electricity demand due to their intermittent nature. Issues such as aging grid infrastructure and weak regional dispatch capabilities further exacerbate the disconnect between electricity generation and availability [2][3] Group 2 - Traditional energy generation, particularly coal power, is being reconsidered as a necessary stabilizing force to address the growing electricity supply gap. The U.S. is expected to restart coal power generation in 2025, marking a significant shift in energy development strategies among developed countries [3] - The demand for coal resources remains high in developing countries, while developed countries are also adjusting their energy strategies, indicating that the peak pressure for coal phase-out may have passed [3]

Investment Rating - The report maintains an "Overweight" rating for the coal sector, highlighting the sustained demand for coal in the global energy landscape [5][11]. Core Insights - The fundamental cause of frequent global electricity shortages is the rapid growth in electricity demand, which is not matched by effective solutions to supply-side structural bottlenecks. Traditional energy sources, particularly coal, remain crucial for the stability of the global electricity system in the medium to long term [3][11]. - Global electricity demand is projected to grow at a rate of 4.4% in 2024, significantly outpacing the global GDP growth of 2.9%. This growth is driven by three main factors: deep electrification in industrial sectors, rapid expansion of data centers driven by artificial intelligence, and increased electricity demand due to extreme weather events caused by climate change [9][15][27]. Summary by Sections Investment Recommendations - The report suggests that the pressure on coal resources may have peaked, and it anticipates a continued increase in global coal demand over the next 5-10 years.

Global Electricity Supply Challenges - The report highlights that the supply side has not effectively addressed structural bottlenecks, leading to frequent electricity shortages. Despite significant investments in renewable energy, issues such as aging grid infrastructure and inadequate energy storage systems hinder the effective absorption and utilization of new clean energy sources [10][55]. - The report emphasizes that traditional coal-fired power generation remains a critical stabilizing force in the global electricity system, especially as developed countries like the U.S. are expected to restart coal power generation to meet rising electricity demands [11][56]. Traditional Energy's Role - Coal power is projected to continue playing a vital role in the global energy landscape, with the U.S. expected to see a 6% increase in coal consumption by 2025. This shift indicates a potential adjustment in energy strategies among developed nations [11][56]. - The report also notes that while the share of coal in global energy generation is decreasing, it still represents the largest source of electricity generation globally [11][56].
