Investment Rating - The investment rating for the steel industry is "Outperform the Market" and is maintained [3]. Core Insights - The report indicates a rebound in profitability due to historically low inventory levels in both the circulation and production sides of the steel industry [5][15]. - Steel exports are expected to remain high, with recent trends showing that when the steel export PMI approaches 50, export volumes stay above 8 million tons [18]. - The report highlights that while there is potential for profit recovery, there are also limitations due to rapid capacity recovery and fluctuating profitability based on supply and demand dynamics [20][25]. Summary by Sections 1. Basis for Profit Rebound - Steel inventory at the circulation end has reached a historical low, with the inventory-to-sales ratio also at a record low as of November 1, 2024 [13][14]. - Production and consumption inventories are also at new lows, with major steel companies' inventories at a ten-year low [15]. - The six major steel-consuming industries show inventory growth close to zero, indicating a potential start for a new round of restocking [15]. 2.

Mid-term Challenges - The report notes that China's steel consumption has peaked, with per capita consumption reaching 900 kg/year in 2020, which is significantly higher than that of developed countries [36]. - External demand from countries like India is insufficient to compensate for the decline in domestic demand, leading to potential profitability pressures in the future [41]. 5. Stock Recommendations - The report suggests focusing on companies with better performance such as Baosteel, Nanjing Steel, and Hualing Steel, as the steel sector may enter a more cautious investment phase after a general rise in stock prices [43].
