2025年，澳大利亚矿业迎来了一个标志性时刻。 Fortescue宣布其西澳铁矿石单位成本降至17.53美元/吨，创下2022年以来的最低值；Whitehaven Coal将 年度成本指引下调至140-155美元/吨区间的低端；Stanmore Coal更是启动激进成本削减计划，将每吨煤 炭成本压减5美元。 这些数据似乎都在宣告：困扰矿业十年的通胀高压终于瓦解。 然而，当我们将镜头拉远，看到的却是另一番图景。全球大宗商品价格全线崩盘。 新南威尔士州优质动力煤价格跌至115.51美元/吨，较峰值缩水73%，昆士兰焦煤价格从670美元/吨的疯 狂高位坠落至200美元以下，铁矿石价格在100美元关口反复挣扎。 这不禁让人质疑：所谓的"成本控制奇迹"，究竟是矿业公司的主动革新，还是全球经济寒冬下的被动 求生？ 降本神话？ 表面功臣：企业效率提升的"障眼法" 劳动力市场松动： Whitehaven董事总经理保罗·弗林直言："更多人回到了就业市场。" 失业率攀升至4.1%的两年高位，使得矿业公司得以压制薪资涨幅。 前言 更致命的是，房地产危机使钢铁需求萎缩，直接打击占澳洲出口额54%的炼焦煤市场。数据显示，2023 年澳 ...

牛只处置方面，骑士乳业2024资产减产值损失发生金额为698万元，同比增加了298.55万元，出现这种情况的一个核心原因是售牛价格下降。 骑士乳业的另一大挑战在于业务结构单一。除了生鲜乳，该公司糖业板块同样依赖单一客户浙江杭实善成实业，销售占比超40%。尽管骑士乳业尝试拓展奶 粉和常温灭菌乳业务，2024年这两项收入同比分别增长40%和85%，但毛利率不足10%，短期内难成新增长点。此外，骑士乳业因业绩预告修正不及时被北 交所通报批评，进一步引发市场对其财务透明度的质疑。 面对困局，有业内人士指出，骑士乳业需优化成本控制，审慎调整期货策略，同时加快下游高附加值产品布局。尽管2025年奶价有望企稳回升，但如何在巨 头环伺的乳业市场中突围，仍是这家区域性乳企亟待破解的难题。 作为北交所"乳业第一股"，骑士乳业（832786.BJ）在2023年风光上市后，2024年却交出了一份令人意外的成绩单。财报显示，骑士乳业2024年营收同比微 增3.22%至12.97亿元，但净利润由盈转亏，净亏损为769.51万元，而2023净利润高达9385万元。 骑士乳业业绩"变脸"背后，是生鲜乳价格持续低迷、期货投资巨亏、牛只处置损失 ...
