Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - The report recommends paying attention to the opportunity to go long on the 01 contract on dips. The current urea price has dropped to a certain cost - effective level, with upstream profits at a relatively low level and the urea valuation being cheap. There are two possible upward drivers for the urea price in the future: on the supply side, there is an expectation of renovation of old - fashioned devices; on the demand side, there is an expectation of improved exports. Therefore, the space for further decline in the current urea price is relatively limited [1]. 3.
