Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints - The fundamentals show that the comprehensive profit of enterprises has declined, the valuation pressure has decreased, the maintenance volume is low, and the production is at a historical high. In the short term, multiple new devices will be tested. On the downstream side, domestic operations have improved. Regarding exports, the anti - dumping tax rate in India has been determined, and exports are expected to weaken after implementation. The cost of calcium carbide has continued to rebound, while caustic soda has declined, leading to stronger overall valuation support. In the medium term, the industry is continuously suppressed by the significant increase in production capacity and the continuous decline in real - estate demand, and the industry pattern has deteriorated. It is necessary to rely on export growth or the implementation of policies to clear old devices to consume the excess domestic production capacity. Overall, given the current situation of strong supply and weak demand in China, with the weakening export outlook, even if the downstream has improved recently, it is still difficult to change the pattern of oversupply. The fundamentals are poor. In the short term, there will be a small rebound due to stronger valuation support, improved domestic demand, and a better commodity atmosphere. In the medium term, pay attention to short - selling opportunities on rallies [11] Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - Cost and Profit: The price of Wuhai calcium carbide is reported at 2,600 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 200 yuan/ton; the price of Shandong calcium carbide is reported at 2,840 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 60 yuan/ton; the price of medium - grade semi - coke in Shaanxi is 680 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 20 yuan/ton. In terms of profit, the comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali integration has decreased, while the profit of ethylene - based production has increased slightly. Currently, the valuation support is neutral [11] - Supply: The PVC capacity utilization rate is 77%, a month - on - month decrease of 3%. Among them, the utilization rate of calcium carbide - based production is 76.9%, a month - on - month decrease of 2.5%; the utilization rate of ethylene - based production is 77.1%, a month - on - month decrease of 4.2%. Last week, the supply - side load decreased mainly due to the reduced loads of enterprises such as Shaanxi Beiyuan, Gansu Jinchuan, Zhongtai, Henan Yuhang, and Haohua. The load is expected to pick up slightly next week. The overall maintenance volume in September is expected to decline, and multiple devices are expected to be commissioned and put into production, further increasing the supply pressure [11] - Demand: Regarding exports, the final anti - dumping tax rate ruling result in India has been announced, and China's tax rate is at a significant disadvantage compared to other countries. Exports are expected to decline after implementation. The operations of the three major downstream industries continued to improve last week. The load of the pipe industry is 39.1%, a month - on - month increase of 1.5%; the load of the film industry is 76.9%, remaining flat month - on - month; the load of the profile industry is 39.4%, a month - on - month increase of 0.2%. The overall downstream load is 49.2%, a month - on - month increase of 1.7%. The overall downstream operations have stabilized and improved. Last week, the pre - sales volume of PVC was 756,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 67,000 tons [11] - Inventory: Last week, the in - factory inventory was 306,000 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 4,000 tons; the social inventory was 954,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 19,000 tons; the overall inventory was 1.26 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 16,000 tons; the number of warehouse receipts continued to rise. Currently, it is still in the inventory accumulation cycle, and the upstream inventory is gradually transferred to the mid - stream. Under the pattern of strong supply and weak demand, the inventory accumulation is expected to continue [11] 2. Futures and Spot Market - The basis and price spread in the futures and spot market are fluctuating weakly, but specific data and analysis details are not provided in the text, only relevant charts are mentioned [16] 3. Profit and Inventory - Profit: The profit of chlor - alkali integration has declined, and the valuation is neutral. The text also provides charts showing the profit trends of Shandong's externally - purchased calcium carbide chlor - alkali integration, PVC calcium carbide - based production, PVC ethylene - based production, and Inner Mongolia's calcium carbide production [40] - Inventory: The text provides charts showing the inventory trends of PVC in - factory inventory, ethylene - based in - factory inventory, calcium carbide - based in - factory inventory, social inventory, the sum of factory and social inventory, and warehouse receipts [34][37][39] 4. Cost Side - Calcium Carbide: Calcium carbide prices have continued to rebound. The price of Wuhai calcium carbide and Shandong calcium carbide has increased week - on - week. The text also provides charts showing the price trends of Wuhai and Shandong calcium carbide, calcium carbide inventory, and calcium carbide operating rate [47][49] - Other Raw Materials: Semi - coke prices have risen, while caustic soda prices have fallen. The text provides charts showing the price trends of semi - coke in Shaanxi, 32% liquid caustic soda in Shandong, liquid chlorine in Shandong, and Northeast Asian ethylene CFR spot prices [52][53] 5. Supply Side - In 2025, the production capacity of PVC will be significantly increased, mainly concentrated in the third quarter. Multiple enterprises such as Xinpu Chemical, Jintai Chemical, and Wanhua Chemical (Phase II) will put new production capacity into operation. The total planned new production capacity in 2025 is 2.5 million tons/year [61][66] 6. Demand Side - The operating loads of the three major downstream industries of PVC have continued to improve. The operating rates of pipes, films, and profiles have either increased or remained stable. The pre - sales volume of PVC has also increased. However, regarding exports, due to the anti - dumping tax rate ruling in India, exports are expected to decline [78][11]
