CNCEC(SH:601117) GOLDEN SUN SECURITIES·2025-05-18 15:25Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Buy" rating for China Chemical [4] Core Views - The domestic production of adiponitrile is accelerating, and the demand for civilian silk is expected to be released, indicating a broad growth space in the future. The nylon 66 (PA66) is one of the most widely used nylon products, with advantages such as high strength, good wear resistance, and excellent lubrication. However, the domestic demand for nylon 66 has not been fully released due to the influence of domestic civilian wire drawing technology. Currently, the application ratio of nylon 66 in civilian silk is low (13%). If breakthroughs in civilian silk technology are achieved, it is expected to partially replace the nylon 6 market [12][19]. Summary by Sections Production and Cost Analysis - The current production cost of adiponitrile is approximately 11,600 yuan/ton, with the main raw materials being butadiene, natural gas, and liquid ammonia. As of May 16, 2025, the prices are 11,000 yuan/ton for butadiene, 3.91 yuan/cubic meter for natural gas, and 2,430 yuan/ton for liquid ammonia [2][16][17]. Profitability and Financial Projections - The profitability of the adiponitrile project is expected to be good after reaching full production, with high profit elasticity anticipated. The report estimates the break-even price for the product under different capacity utilization scenarios. At 150% design capacity utilization (30,000 tons/year), the break-even price is 17,700 yuan/ton; at 100% (20,000 tons/year), it is 19,000 yuan/ton; and at 50% (10,000 tons/year), it is 22,900 yuan/ton. The average price of domestic adiponitrile since May is approximately 22,200 yuan/ton, close to the break-even line at 50% utilization [3][19]. Future Earnings Estimates - The report forecasts the company's net profit attributable to shareholders for 2025-2027 to be 6.4 billion, 7.3 billion, and 8.1 billion yuan, respectively, with year-on-year growth rates of 12.7%, 13.4%, and 11.2%. The current stock price corresponds to P/E ratios of 7.5, 6.6, and 6.0 for the respective years [19]. Investment Recommendation - Given the significant earnings elasticity of the company's industrial projects, accelerated execution of overseas orders, benefits from the acceleration of coal chemical investments, high profitability quality, ample cash flow, and potential for increased dividends, the report continues to recommend a "Buy" rating [19].
