TONGWEI CO.,LTD(SH:600438) Zhi Tong Cai Jing·2025-11-06 05:51Core Viewpoint - The silicon material prices are under pressure due to high inventory levels, but supply contraction in November and expectations for a "stockpiling" policy may provide some price support, leading to a forecast of weak stability in prices [1][2]. Group 1: Polysilicon - Current industry inventory remains above 420,000 tons, primarily due to increased polysilicon output in October and cautious procurement by downstream manufacturers [2]. - The overall polysilicon production is expected to decrease by approximately 0.8 thousand tons to around 12.7 thousand tons in November due to mixed operational adjustments among manufacturers [2]. - The market is facing a "double weakness" in supply and demand, with downstream production also showing a downward trend [2]. Group 2: Silicon Wafers - Silicon wafer inventory has risen to over 21 GW, with low procurement willingness from downstream markets due to bearish price expectations [3]. - Some silicon wafer manufacturers have begun to reduce production in response to high inventory levels and declining prices, with an increasing consensus on "production cuts to support prices" [3]. - The overall transaction prices for silicon wafers continue to decline, with significant price drops observed in second and third-tier companies [3]. Group 3: Battery Cells - Current battery inventory levels are maintained at around 5-7 days, but structural differentiation persists, particularly with rising inventory pressures on the 210RN size [4]. - Demand is structurally weak, with declining interest in 210RN and 183N sizes, influenced by reduced procurement from downstream component manufacturers [4]. - The overall battery prices face significant downward risks, with prices for 183N gradually approaching 0.3 RMB/W and 210RN stabilizing at low levels [4]. Group 4: Photovoltaic Modules - As winter approaches, outdoor projects are winding down, leading to reduced orders for module manufacturers and a decline in both domestic and overseas demand [5]. - The market is primarily supported by domestic centralized projects, but demand for 210 version modules is expected to drop sharply next month [5]. - Conventional module prices remain around 0.65 RMB/W, with overall demand weakening and insufficient order reserves for manufacturers [5]. Group 5: Price Data - Polysilicon prices remain stable with no significant changes reported [6][7]. - Silicon wafer prices for N-type 183mm and 210mm sizes have seen slight declines of 1.52% and 1.79%, respectively [6][7]. - Battery cell prices are also under pressure, with M10L and G12 sizes showing declines of 1.61% and 1.64% [6][7].
