Core Viewpoint - The chemical industry is experiencing a mixed performance, with the fertilizer and phosphate sectors showing positive growth, while the oil and basic chemical sectors face challenges due to declining oil prices and historical low profit margins [1][2]. Group 1: Industry Performance - As of November 28, 2025, the chemical industry, particularly the fertilizer and phosphate sectors, has seen significant gains, with the CSI sub-industry index rising by 0.70% [1]. - In the first three quarters of 2025, the oil and basic chemical sectors reported a year-on-year net profit change of -24.8% and +5.3%, respectively, indicating a decline in the oil sector due to lower oil prices, while the basic chemical sector benefited from capacity expansion and a slight recovery in product demand [1]. - The gross profit margins for the oil and basic chemical sectors in Q3 2025 were recorded at 14.7% and 17.6%, respectively, both of which are at historical low levels [1]. Group 2: Future Outlook - According to China Galaxy, the chemical industry is expected to see a contraction in capital expenditure starting in 2024, influenced by the "anti-involution" trend and accelerated elimination of outdated overseas capacities, which may lead to a tightening of supply [1]. - The "14th Five-Year Plan" draft emphasizes expanding domestic demand, which, combined with the onset of a U.S. interest rate cut cycle, is anticipated to open up demand space for chemical products [1]. - The supply-demand dynamics are expected to stabilize, with strong policy expectations potentially catalyzing a cyclical upturn in the chemical industry by 2026, leading to a "Davis Double Play" from valuation recovery to earnings growth [1]. Group 3: Investment Opportunities - As of October 31, 2025, the top ten weighted stocks in the CSI sub-industry chemical index account for 44.83% of the index, indicating concentrated investment opportunities in leading companies such as Wanhua Chemical and Yalv Co [2]. - Investors can also explore investment opportunities in the chemical sector through the Chemical ETF linked fund (013527) [3].
