Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Recommended" rating for the coking industry, indicating a positive outlook for investment opportunities in this sector [2]. Core Insights - The profitability of the coking industry is increasingly determined by the output ratio of by-products, as the main product, coke, has been experiencing low profits. By-products such as coal tar, methanol, and pure benzene are crucial for enhancing profitability [6][12]. - The coking by-products are expected to see significant profit elasticity driven by rising oil prices and supply constraints. For instance, methanol supply may face substantial reductions due to geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Iran, which could lead to increased prices [20][27]. - The coking industry is currently in a weak supply-demand balance, with profits having reached a bottom. The report anticipates that future coke prices will fluctuate in line with coking coal prices, with no significant cost pressures in the by-product processing segment [39][50]. Summary by Sections 1. By-Product Output Ratio as a Profit Differentiator - The coking industry primarily produces coke, with by-products including coal tar, methanol, and pure benzene. The output ratios for these by-products are approximately 8% for coal tar, 6% for methanol, and 4% for pure benzene per ton of coke produced [9][12]. 2. By-Products: Profit Elasticity Driven by Oil Prices and Supply Constraints - Methanol supply is expected to be significantly impacted by geopolitical events, particularly in the Middle East, which could lead to a price increase that is more elastic than oil prices. The report highlights that methanol's price elasticity may exceed that of oil due to supply disruptions [20][27][28]. - Coal tar and benzene prices are also closely linked to oil prices, with coal tar being a significant alternative to crude oil products [33]. 3. Coke: Weak Supply-Demand Balance and Profit Bottoming - The report notes that the coking industry is entering a phase of strict total control over production capacity, with a projected increase in domestic coking capacity of approximately 10.28 million tons in 2026, significantly lower than previous years [43][44]. - The domestic coke production for the first two months of 2026 was 82.55 million tons, showing a year-on-year growth of 0.8%, indicating a stable demand environment despite challenges in the real estate sector [44][45]. 4. Investment Recommendations - The report suggests focusing on companies with strong cost advantages and high by-product revenue ratios, such as China Xuyang Group, Shanxi Coking, and Shaanxi Black Cat, which are expected to benefit from rising chemical prices and improved profitability [53][54].

Economic Viability of Coal - The thermal coal to crude oil price ratio is at 0.35, the lowest since 2019, indicating that coal is becoming a more attractive substitute for oil and gas [2][13] 3. Pathways for Coal Substitution - **Electricity and Heating**: Coal can replace natural gas in power generation, especially when natural gas prices rise, leading to increased coal demand [3][14] - **Coal Chemical Industry**: The profit margin for coal chemical products is improving due to a widening oil-coal price gap, which reached 93.67 yuan/GJ as of March 2026, significantly higher than earlier in the year [3][22] 4.

Group 2: Price Dynamics - The core drivers of the coal and coal chemical sectors' performance are linked to the rising international oil prices, which have exceeded $90 per barrel, creating a favorable environment for coal chemical profitability [5][9]. - The cost advantage of coal-based chemical processes over oil-based processes is significant, with coal-based routes being approximately 2,000 yuan per ton cheaper than oil-based routes under current oil price conditions [9][12]. Group 3: Structural Advantages - China's resource endowment of abundant coal reserves and high self-sufficiency (over 95%) provides a stable and low-cost raw material supply for the coal chemical industry, unlike other economies that face high oil price pressures [11][12]. - Technological advancements have allowed China to break foreign monopolies in coal chemical technologies, achieving a domestic technology utilization rate of over 98% [12][13]. Group 4: Policy Environment - The Chinese government has maintained strict controls on coal chemical production capacity, which has led to a scarcity of supply and increased profitability for leading companies [13][14]. - The focus on quality over quantity in coal chemical development has resulted in a more favorable competitive landscape for top-tier companies, enhancing their earnings stability [13][14]. Group 5: Investment Opportunities - Companies with integrated cost advantages, such as Baofeng Energy and China Coal Energy, are expected to benefit significantly from the current market conditions due to their ability to manage raw material costs effectively [14][15]. - Firms that are actively pursuing green transformation and high-end product development, like Yanzhou Coal Mining Company, are also positioned for long-term growth as they transition from traditional cyclical stocks to growth-oriented enterprises [16][17]. Group 6: Future Outlook - The ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the resulting high oil prices are likely to sustain the profitability cycle for the coal chemical industry for an extended period [10][18]. - The coal chemical sector is viewed as a "safe haven" and a "profit dark horse" in the high oil price era, with a focus on companies that exhibit integrated cost advantages and growth potential being crucial for investors [18].
