Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the construction materials industry is "Outperform the Market" and is maintained [1] Core Views - The construction materials industry is currently at a cyclical bottom in terms of profitability, with leading companies in various segments performing in line with expectations. For instance, China Jushi in the fiberglass sector has seen a significant year-on-year improvement in profitability, while companies like Rabbit Baby have also reported substantial profit improvements due to investment income. Other leading companies such as Oriental Yuhong, Beixin Building Materials, Qibin Group, and Jianlang Hardware are also showing signs of bottoming out in their fundamentals. It is anticipated that stock prices may break out of the bottom range under the influence of policy catalysts and market style shifts [4][5] Summary by Relevant Sections Cement - Demand for cement has shown a slight month-on-month improvement, primarily due to infrastructure projects and better weather conditions, although year-on-year demand remains down. The overall demand is still in a weak recovery phase, influenced by weather disruptions and the pace of demand release. In September 2025, the monthly cement production was 154 million tons, down 8.6% year-on-year [5][10] Glass - The glass industry is experiencing a continuous decline in demand due to the impact of real estate. Short-term demand during the traditional peak season has shown limited improvement, and inventory levels among intermediaries remain relatively high. The supply-demand imbalance persists, with limited improvement in downstream terminal demand. The industry is expected to face increased environmental requirements and costs, accelerating the pace of cold repairs [5][17] Fiberglass - The fiberglass sector is witnessing a price recovery, with price increases of 5%-10% reported. The demand for electronic yarns is driven by the AI industry, leading to a significant increase in both volume and price. The demand is expected to continue growing alongside AI developments [6] Consumer Building Materials - The profitability of the consumer building materials sector has reached a bottom, with prices having no further downward space after years of competition. The sector is strongly advocating for price increases and profitability improvements, with several categories like waterproofing, coatings, and gypsum boards issuing price increase notices this year. A recovery in profitability is anticipated for leading companies in the second half of the year [6] Recent Company Announcements - Conch Cement reported Q3 revenue of 20 billion yuan, down 11.4% year-on-year, but net profit increased by 3.4% year-on-year to 1.94 billion yuan, benefiting from cost reductions and improved gross margins. Q3 revenue for Qibin Group was 4.39 billion yuan, up 18.9% year-on-year, with a net profit of 20 million yuan, marking a return to profitability [19][20][22]
