Core Viewpoint - The coal industry is expected to maintain a weak supply and demand balance in 2026, but coal prices may perform better than in 2025 due to policy support, leading to improved profitability and dividend expectations for listed companies [1] Supply and Demand Analysis - In 2026, policies and import factors may limit domestic supply, with a projected net increase in coal production of 28 million tons, corresponding to a growth rate of approximately 0.6% [2] - Domestic coal production is expected to decline year-on-year from July to November 2025 due to stricter safety regulations and overproduction checks [2] - Coal imports are anticipated to decrease by 19 to 20 million tons in 2026, influenced by production cuts in countries like Indonesia and domestic "anti-involution" policies [2] Demand Dynamics - The growth in demand is expected to be limited, with a slight year-on-year decrease in thermal coal consumption of about -0.2% in 2026 [3] - The construction and steel sectors will continue to be affected by real estate activity, leading to a decline in coal consumption, although the rate of decline is expected to narrow [3] - Chemical industry coal consumption may see a growth rate of 6% due to new coal chemical projects and widening oil-coal price differentials [3] Price Outlook - The supply pressure is expected to ease, allowing for a slight upward adjustment in coal prices, with a projected increase of 5 to 7% in the average domestic coal price for 2026 [4] - The bottom of coal prices is expected to rise due to policy support and improvements in the global coal supply-demand balance [4] Investment Strategy - The anticipated rise in coal prices is expected to improve the performance of listed companies, with dividend yields likely to see a slight increase if dividend ratios are maintained [6] - Investment opportunities are suggested along three main lines: 1. Long-term holdings in dividend-paying thermal coal leaders [6] 2. Companies benefiting from capacity expansion and favorable policies [6] 3. Companies with high elasticity that may benefit from price expectation discrepancies [6]

Core Viewpoint - The report from CICC indicates that coal prices are expected to show a trend of being lower in the first half and higher in the second half of 2026, with the annual average likely to remain stable compared to 2025 [1] Demand and Supply Analysis - The demand side is anticipated to be a major drag on coal prices, particularly in the first half of the year due to policy transmission delays and seasonal effects, leading to relatively weak demand [1] - Supply-side constraints are expected to remain relatively strong, which may support coal prices despite weak demand [1] - A marginal improvement in demand is expected in the second half of the year, which could drive coal prices upward [1]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report indicates that coal prices are expected to show a trend of low first and high later in 2026, with the annual average likely to remain roughly the same as in 2025. Demand is anticipated to be a major drag factor, while supply-side constraints are relatively strong [1] - The coal industry is not experiencing overcapacity. The report attributes the unexpected decline in coal prices this year to excessive production beyond approved capacity, which poses challenges to safety and environmental standards. If supply and demand become excessively loose, there may still be room for policy tightening to regulate supply [2] - Demand for thermal coal is expected to remain at a peak level. The report forecasts that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, green energy may begin to squeeze existing coal power demand, but overall electricity demand is likely to maintain steady growth, with a compound annual growth rate of over 4.5% from 2024 to 2030 [2] Group 2 - The report suggests that while domestic coking coal supply may have limited upward elasticity in 2026, there is potential for increased imports of Mongolian coal, leading to a relatively loose supply-demand situation for coking coal. However, the actual completion of steel production cuts remains uncertain due to policy negotiations [2] - Overall, the report concludes that the supply-demand balance for coking coal in 2026 is expected to be relatively loose, with the increase in Mongolian coal limiting upward price elasticity. Nonetheless, Mongolian coal cannot replace high-quality domestic coking coal, which is expected to remain in a relatively tight supply situation [2]

据卓创资讯分析师任慧云具体分析，12月前半月产地主流煤矿生产平稳，个别年度任务余量有限而有停 减产现象。但同期，下游需求仍显弱势，多数用户观望情绪浓郁，终端仅维持刚需跟进，贸易商等中间 环节用户投机操作积极性较低迷。此外，因前期降雪天气影响汽运车辆到矿，部分煤矿库存压力有所上 升，导致煤矿仍有下调坑口价格以缓解压力的现象。 编辑：吴郑思 新华财经北京12月16日电 12月前半月，国内动力煤市场整体以震荡下跌为主。卓创资讯监测显示，截 至12月15日榆林地区Q6000大卡动力煤主流坑口含税价格在620-630元／吨，周环比下跌20元／吨，较 上月底累计下跌58.5元／吨。分析认为，12月以来煤矿产出平稳，需求转弱且部分煤矿库存压力上升， 是导致煤价下行的主要原因。 不过，后期来看，任慧云进一步表示，临近年底，完成年度任务后停减产的煤矿将有增加，市场供应或 收缩。在此背景下，预计产地煤价继续下行空间将有收窄，存陆续触底可能。 ...

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the coal industry [9]. Core Viewpoints - Since late November, thermal coal prices have significantly declined due to abnormal weather, accelerated production resumption, and concerns over potential electricity price reductions in 2026. Despite the recent rapid price drop, the report anticipates an improvement in coal demand in 2026, with limited supply capacity utilization, suggesting a potential increase in the price baseline [2][7]. - The report emphasizes that while coal prices are currently under pressure due to weak demand, factors such as cold weather and snowfall could stabilize and potentially increase prices in the future [6][31]. Summary by Sections Market Performance - The coal index (Yangtze) fell by 3.71%, underperforming the CSI 300 index by 3.63 percentage points, ranking last among all industries [30]. - As of December 12, the market price for thermal coal at Qinhuangdao was 745 RMB/ton, down 40 RMB/ton week-on-week [6][58]. Supply and Demand Outlook - The report outlines that the recent decline in coal prices is attributed to several factors: warmer weather leading to lower electricity consumption, increased coal supply from resumed production, and concerns regarding electricity price negotiations for 2026 [7]. - The demand outlook for 2026 is optimistic, with expectations of stable or slightly positive growth in thermal power generation, despite potential long-term impacts from energy storage technologies [7][8]. - On the supply side, the report notes that while there may be new production capacity in 2026, overall supply growth is expected to remain limited due to ongoing regulatory controls on excessive production [7][8]. Investment Recommendations - The report suggests focusing on companies with a balanced risk-reward profile, recommending stocks such as Yanzhou Coal Mining Company and China Shenhua Energy for their strong fundamentals and dividend potential [7][8]. - It also highlights the potential for higher returns from currently undervalued stocks if demand improves and coal prices rise unexpectedly, suggesting companies like Huayang Co. and Jinkong Coal Industry as potential targets [7][8].
