Investment Rating - The investment rating for the coal industry is "Positive" (maintained) [1] Core Views - The report emphasizes that coal prices are returning to reasonable levels, reinforcing the logic of stable coal prices. The price of thermal coal has slightly decreased, with the Qinhuangdao Q5500 thermal coal closing at 695 CNY/ton as of January 17, down 4 CNY/ton from the previous period. The report anticipates a gradual recovery to a reasonable price of 750 CNY/ton, with narrow fluctuations expected [3][4] - The long-term investment logic remains unchanged, driven by a dual influence of tightening supply and increasing demand. Supply constraints are a continuation of the strict production checks initiated in July, while demand is rising due to the heating season and increased industrial production [3][4] Summary by Sections Investment Logic - Thermal coal prices are expected to rise through a four-step process: repairing central and local long-term contracts, reaching the coal-electricity profit-sharing line, and approaching the breakeven point for power plants, estimated at around 750 CNY/ton for 2025. The upper limit for coal prices is predicted to be between 800-860 CNY/ton [4][15] - Coking coal prices are more influenced by supply and demand fundamentals, with target prices based on the ratio of coking coal to thermal coal prices. The current ratio indicates target prices for coking coal at 1608 CNY, 1680 CNY, 1800 CNY, and 2064 CNY [4][15] Investment Recommendations - The report outlines a dual logic for coal stocks: cyclical elasticity and stable dividends. With both thermal and coking coal prices at historical lows, there is significant room for rebound. The report identifies four main lines for stock selection: 1. Cyclical logic: Jin控煤业, 兖矿能源 for thermal coal; 平煤股份, 淮北矿业, 潞安环能 for metallurgical coal 2. Dividend logic: 中国神华, 中煤能源, 陕西煤业 3. Diversified aluminum elasticity: 神火股份, 电投能源 4. Growth logic: 新集能源, 广汇能源 [5][16] Key Market Indicators - The coal index fell by 3.11% this week, underperforming the CSI 300 index by 2.54 percentage points. The average PE ratio for the coal sector is 15.12, and the PB ratio is 1.33, both ranking among the lowest in the A-share market [10][25][29]

Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the coal mining industry is "Bullish" [2] Report's Core View - The coal industry is at the beginning of a new upward cycle, with fundamental and policy factors in resonance. It is advisable to allocate coal stocks on dips. The underlying investment logic of coal production capacity shortage remains unchanged, and coal prices have established a bottom and are expected to rise. High - quality coal enterprises have core asset attributes such as high profitability, high cash flow, high ROE, and high dividends. The coal sector is still undervalued, and its valuation is expected to increase. The coal supply bottleneck is expected to last until the "15th Five - Year Plan", and coal prices are likely to remain high.
