Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The capacity utilization rate of urea enterprises was 81.85%, a 0.02% increase from the previous period, with a slight fluctuating trend. There were 2 new enterprise device stoppages and 5 restarted devices during the cycle, and the output fluctuated slightly this week. The reserve demand slowed down in December, but there was still short - term replenishment demand. The demand for urea from the compound fertilizer industry was strong, and the capacity utilization rate of compound fertilizers was expected to increase steadily. Urea was being shipped to ports in batches, and some enterprises were ending their shipments. The rigid demand from the industrial compound fertilizer, appropriate replenishment of reserve demand, and fulfillment of some export orders led to a continued decline in urea factory inventories. In the short term, the high start - up of industrial compound fertilizers continued to drive demand, and there were still some reserve gaps, so urea factory inventories might continue to decline slightly.
