Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The spot price of urea has weakened, and downstream buyers are making purchases based on rigid demand. In the fourth quarter, gas - based urea plants began maintenance in December, and coal - based plants that were under maintenance have gradually resumed operations. All new production capacities in 2025 have been put into operation, and the daily urea output has slightly decreased. Currently, off - season storage purchases are ongoing. The operating rate of compound fertilizers in Northeast China continues to increase, but some plants in Hubei and other regions have insufficient operations due to raw material and weather factors, and the operating rate in Henan has decreased due to environmental protection. With the introduction of policies to ensure the supply of raw materials such as sulfur, sulfuric acid, and phosphate fertilizers, the sentiment in the compound fertilizer market has cooled. Melamine plants have resumed production, and the operating rate has rebounded, with rigid demand for purchases. As off - season storage progresses, factory inventories are being depleted, and port inventories are slightly increasing. The subsequent purchase rhythm will slow down. Currently, new orders are decreasing, and the spot price has been lowered in major regions, with downstream buyers adopting a wait - and - see attitude.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Range-bound with a bullish bias - Inter-period: Wait and see - Inter-commodity: None [3] Core Viewpoints - The trading atmosphere of urea has improved, and the spot price has been raised. The restart of shutdown plants in Shanxi and Hebei and the increase in the operating rate of large enterprises in Hubei have led to an overall increase in the operating rate of compound fertilizers. The operating rate of melamine has decreased, with only rigid demand for procurement. Gradual entry of off-season storage. With the release of new production capacity, the medium- and long-term supply and demand of urea will remain relatively loose, and the gas-based plant maintenance in the fourth quarter is expected to start gradually in December. Driven by reserve demand and the increase in the operating rate of compound fertilizers, the sales of urea enterprises have improved, with inventory reduction at factories and a slight increase in port inventory. The highest domestic inventory is still in Inner Mongolia, and the reserve demand in the Northeast has increased, leading to inventory reduction in Inner Mongolia. Continued attention should be paid to the operating rate of compound fertilizers in the Northeast, the raw material procurement rhythm, and the national off-season storage rhythm. In October, 1.2 million tons of urea were exported, and the cumulative exports this year have exceeded 4 million tons. According to Argus, urea producers have obtained a fourth batch of export quotas totaling 600,000 tons, which has improved the export outlook for the end of the year and is expected to support the现货 market to some extent. The urea import tender of India's IPL closed on November 20, with the lowest CFR prices of $418.40/ton at the East Coast and $419.50/ton at the West Coast. A total of 24 suppliers' quantities were received, and the lowest price was higher than the previous one. Continuous attention should be paid to the sentiment and rhythm of domestic spot procurement.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the urea industry is neutral [3] Core Viewpoints - Agricultural demand for urea is steadily rising as downstream agricultural top - dressing and fertilizer preparation continue, but industrial demand is weakening with declining capacity utilization rates of compound fertilizers and low - level operation of melamine [2] - Urea production is at a high level with few planned device overhauls, so supply pressure is large. However, due to the release of agricultural demand, factory pre - sales orders are increasing and enterprise inventories are decreasing [2] - In terms of exports, there is still port - collection demand, but the new export quota is unclear, and the export benefits are gradually weakening.
