China Basic Materials 2025 outlook_ A better year ahead, upgrade Conch-H_Chalco-H to BUY, maintain Buy (on CL) on Zijin, downgrade coal to sell
-· 2025-01-12 05:33
Summary of Goldman Sachs China Basic Materials 2025 Outlook Industry Overview - The report focuses on the outlook for the China Basic Materials sector in 2025, indicating a more favorable year compared to 2024 due to stabilizing domestic demand and supply discipline leading to improved pricing and margins [1][2]. Key Companies and Ratings - **Cement**: Upgraded Conch-H and CNBM to Buy from Neutral, with expected unit gross profit of Rmb88-90/t for Conch in 2025-26E, up from Rmb58/t in 2024E [12][13][81]. - **Coal**: Downgraded Chinacoal-H/A and Shenhua-A from Neutral to Sell, with expectations of a long-term correction in coal demand due to China's energy transition [12][13][92]. - **Aluminum**: Upgraded Chalco-H to Buy from Sell, with a revised price target reflecting improved pricing for alumina and bauxite [12][13][81]. - **Copper**: Maintained a positive outlook, expecting a 3.0% increase in demand in 2025E [12][13][124]. Demand Projections - Overall demand for China commodities is expected to grow between -3.5% to +3.0% in 2025, a significant improvement from -10.2% to +4.4% in 2024 [2][15]. - Key drivers for demand include infrastructure construction, property completion, and solar installation, with infrastructure expected to stabilize after a decline in 2024 [28][29]. Supply-Side Dynamics - Significant overcapacity exists in cement and steel, with estimates suggesting that 900 million tonnes of clinker capacity (40% of total) and nearly 400 million tonnes of steel capacity (30% of total) need to be removed to restore supply-demand balance [3][58][67]. - Current capacity utilization rates are 51% for cement and 72% for steel, with potential improvements expected through categorized management and enforcement of capacity exits [58][66]. Pricing and Margins - Cement prices are projected to recover, with gross profit margins expected to improve significantly in 2025 due to better capacity utilization and demand stabilization [12][13][81]. - Coal prices are expected to decline slightly, with thermal coal prices projected to average Rmb850/t in 2025, down from Rmb855/t in 2024 [12][13][95]. - Aluminum prices are expected to remain under pressure due to lower fabrication exports, with a forecasted average price of US$1.07/lb in 2025 [12][13][123]. Risks and Considerations - Risks include weaker-than-expected demand in construction and infrastructure, slower-than-expected capacity exits, and potential increases in raw material costs [12][13][169][171]. - The transition to renewable energy sources poses a long-term risk to coal demand, with expectations of a decline in thermal coal demand for power generation by 5-22% by 2030E [2][92]. Conclusion - The outlook for the China Basic Materials sector in 2025 is cautiously optimistic, with expected improvements in demand and pricing for cement and aluminum, while coal faces long-term challenges due to energy transition policies. The report emphasizes the importance of supply-side reforms and the need for capacity management to enhance profitability across the sector [1][12][13][92].

Energy_ Outlook 2025_ Still Playing Defence but Sector Raised to 'In-Line'
-· 2025-01-12 05:33
Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The Energy sector in Europe underperformed significantly in the second half of 2024, leading to a revised sector view from 'Cautious' to 'In-Line' as much of the negative outlook is now priced in [1][8][40]. - The oil and gas markets have mixed prospects for 2025, with gas markets appearing robust while the oil market is well supplied, leading to potential downward pressure on earnings estimates [8][18]. Company Ratings and Price Targets - **Shell**: Upgraded to Overweight with a price target of £3,070, citing strong free cash flow (FCF) and balance sheet strength [5][43]. - **Equinor**: Upgraded to Overweight with a price target of NOK 340, driven by higher gas prices and lower capital expenditures [5][52]. - **TotalEnergies**: Downgraded to Equal-weight with a price target of €61 due to distribution risks and high capital expenditure burdens [5][58]. - **Eni**: Downgraded to Equal-weight on valuation grounds with a price target of €15 [5][68]. - **BP**: Maintained at Equal-weight with a price target of £407, facing challenges with strategy and balance sheet concerns [5][76]. - **Repsol**: Downgraded to Underweight with a price target of €11.7, highly leveraged to refining margins which are expected to remain subdued [5][86]. - **Galp Energia**: Reiterated Underweight on valuation grounds with a price target of €15.4 [5][96]. Financial Performance and Outlook - The sector's earnings estimates have declined by approximately 15% since the previous year, with a consensus Dated Brent price assumption of $67.9/bbl for 2025 [23][24]. - Free cash flow estimates for the sector are now below shareholder distribution estimates, leading to increased net debt and potential risks to distributions for most majors, except Shell [30][32]. - The sector's total distribution yield is forecasted at 11.7%, indicating a high payout ratio of around 42% of consensus cash flow from operations (CFFO) [32][35]. Market Dynamics - The oil market is expected to remain well supplied, with Brent prices likely to hover around $70/bbl, while European gas markets are tightening due to increased global LNG demand [20][21]. - The competition for LNG is expected to remain robust, especially with delays in new LNG projects [21][55]. - Refining margins are under pressure, particularly for companies like Repsol, which is heavily reliant on refining for cash flow [86]. Valuation Insights - The sector's relative valuation has become compelling, trading at 0.4x the market's price-to-cash-flow (P/CF) multiple, which is low by historical standards [35][40]. - Despite the challenges, the sector's current valuation suggests that further downgrades in earnings estimates are likely limited, indicating a potential stabilization in the outlook [40][41]. Conclusion - The Energy sector is transitioning from a cautious outlook to a more balanced view as much of the negative sentiment is now reflected in valuations. Companies like Shell and Equinor are positioned favorably due to their financial resilience and exposure to gas markets, while others like TotalEnergies and Repsol face challenges that may impact their performance in 2025 [1][40][41].
