1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply side of lithium carbonate showed an increase last week, with a weekly output of 21,822 tons, a month - on - month increase of 8.11%, higher than the historical average. The production in February 2026 was 83,090 physical tons, and the predicted production for the next month is 106,390 physical tons, a month - on - month increase of 28.04%. The import volume in February 2026 was 21,800 physical tons, and the predicted import volume for the next month is 26,000 physical tons, a month - on - month increase of 19.27% [8][9]. - On the demand side, the inventory of sample enterprises of lithium iron phosphate increased by 0.50% month - on - month to 92,556 tons last week, while the inventory of sample enterprises of ternary materials decreased by 2.99% month - on - month to 17,234 tons. It is expected that the demand will strengthen next month, and the inventory may be reduced [8]. - In terms of cost, the CIF price of 6% concentrate decreased day - on - day, lower than the historical average. The cost of purchasing spodumene concentrate is 158,432 yuan/ton, with a daily profit of 446 yuan/ton; the cost of purchasing lithium mica is 154,659 yuan/ton, with a daily loss of 6,209 yuan/ton; the production cost of the recycling end is generally higher than that of the ore end, with negative production income and low production enthusiasm; the quarterly cash production cost of the salt lake end is 32,231 yuan/ton, with sufficient profit space and strong production motivation [9]. - The lithium carbonate 2605 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 147,240 - 159,760 [9]. - The main logic is the emotional shock caused by news under the tight balance of supply and demand [12]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Daily Views - Supply and Demand Analysis: The supply of lithium carbonate increased last week, and the production and import volume are expected to increase next month. The demand side shows different trends in the inventory of different materials, and the overall demand is expected to strengthen next month [8][9]. - Cost Analysis: Different raw material costs have different profit situations. The salt lake end has obvious cost advantages, while the recycling end has low production enthusiasm [9]. - Market Judgment: The lithium carbonate 2605 contract is expected to fluctuate in a certain range, and the market is affected by the tight balance of supply and demand and news [9][12]. - Leveraging Factors: Positive factors include the production cut plan of lithium mica manufacturers and the month - on - month decline in the import volume of lithium carbonate from Chile; negative factors include the continuous high supply of ore/salt lake ends with limited decline [10][11]. 3.2 Fundamental/Position Data - Supply - Side Data: The weekly production of lithium carbonate increased, and the production and import volume are expected to increase next month. The production of different raw materials such as lithium ore, lithium mica, and salt lake has different trends, and the import volume of lithium concentrate and lithium carbonate also shows certain changes [8][9][17]. - Demand - Side Data: The inventory of lithium iron phosphate and ternary materials shows different trends. The production, export, and battery loading volume of related products in the downstream also change to varying degrees. The demand for new energy vehicles also shows a certain decline [17]. - Cost and Profit Data: Different raw materials have different cost - profit situations, including spodumene, lithium mica, and recycling materials. The cost of salt lake production is significantly lower, with sufficient profit space [9]. - Inventory Data: The overall inventory of lithium carbonate decreased month - on - month, but the inventory of different links such as smelters and downstream has different trends [9]. - Market Data: The price of lithium carbonate and related products shows certain fluctuations, and the basis shows a state of spot premium over futures [9][15].
