Supply and Demand Analysis - On the supply side, although the overall profit of the soda ash industry has declined, natural soda ash projects still maintain high profits. The maintenance of traditional backward production capacity has intensified, and the expansion of natural soda ash project capacity has led to an increase in production and capacity utilization, resulting in large supply pressure [2]. - On the demand side, futures and spot traders are active in restocking, but the decline in soda ash spot prices is expected to lead to a decline in demand. The continuous decline in glass production also drags down the demand for soda ash, and the subsequent de - stocking speed of soda ash will slow down [2]. - For glass, on the supply side, a new cold - repair production line has been added, the weekly output has decreased, the industry's overall profit is poor, and the willingness of enterprises to support prices is limited. On the demand side, the real - estate situation is not optimistic, the demand will further weaken in the off - season, downstream deep - processing orders are unstable, and procurement is mainly for rigid demand [3].

申万宏源研究· 2025-05-29 01:12
Core Viewpoint - April's profit growth is primarily driven by short-term improvements in costs and expenses, but attention is needed on potential profit decline pressures in the third quarter due to tariff disturbances [3][76]. Group 1: Profit and Revenue Analysis - In April, industrial profits increased by 0.4 percentage points year-on-year to 2.9%, mainly due to improved cost and expense pressures [3][9]. - The contribution of costs and expenses to overall profit improved, with costs contributing +2.7 percentage points and expenses +0.5 percentage points, while other losses contributed negatively [3][9]. - Actual operating revenue showed resilience, with a year-on-year decline of 1.6 percentage points to 5.5%, contributing 4.9% to overall profit growth [3][9]. Group 2: Cost Structure and Industry Performance - The overall cost rate for industrial enterprises was 86%, with a year-on-year marginal decline of 12.6 basis points [3][17]. - Downstream consumer manufacturing industries saw a cost rate increase of 59.7 basis points to 84.3%, which was significantly lower than seasonal trends [3][17]. - In contrast, the petrochemical and metallurgy chains experienced weaker cost performance, with respective cost rates rising to 86.5% and declining to 87% [3][17]. Group 3: Revenue Support from Infrastructure and Exports - Benefiting from infrastructure investment and export boosts, the coal and metallurgy chains, along with downstream consumer industries, provided significant revenue support [4][27]. - The actual revenue growth rate fell by 1.6 percentage points to 5.5%, with the petrochemical industry experiencing a notable decline of 3 percentage points to 2.1% [4][27]. - The consumer manufacturing chain maintained a relatively high revenue growth rate of 7.8%, supported by short-term export boosts [4][27]. Group 4: Future Outlook and Uncertainties - Future profit recovery remains uncertain due to potential lagging effects of tariffs and low capacity utilization in mid and downstream sectors [4][33]. - Historical data indicates that profit margins have a greater impact on profits than revenue, with current low capacity utilization keeping consumer manufacturing cost rates high [4][33]. - Previous experiences suggest that post-tariff implementation may lead to declines in asset turnover and rising fixed costs, resulting in profit growth rates declining more than revenue [4][33]. Group 5: Regular Tracking of Industrial Performance - Industrial enterprise profits showed a year-on-year increase of 0.4 percentage points, primarily due to improved profit margins [5][36]. - Revenue growth for industrial enterprises remained stable, with significant increases in the food and beverage sectors [5][50]. - Inventory growth slightly declined, indicating that terminal demand still requires further recovery [5][61].
