Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" [1] Core Viewpoints - Shenhua plans to acquire group assets, and coal prices are expected to rise in August. Domestic power plants maintain daily coal consumption, leading to continued price increases. The coal association has advocated for controlling production and improving quality, while the Central Financial Committee emphasized the need to regulate low-price competition and promote the orderly exit of backward production capacity. The coking coal sector may see marginal improvements in performance due to environmental factors affecting capacity utilization, with supply and demand gradually balancing in the second half of the year [6][42]. Summary by Sections Coal Market Performance - The coal sector declined, underperforming the CSI 300 index by 2.81 percentage points, with a drop of 4.56% as of August 1, 2025.

Group 1: Report's Investment Rating on the Industry - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since 2024, there have been continuous catalysts on both the supply and demand sides of the chemical sector. The current "anti - involution" market adds to its momentum. The chemical convertible bond market is still promising in the future, with positive fundamentals, favorable debt - conversion measures, and the "asymmetry" of small - cap convertible bonds [1][15] Group 3: Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Characteristics of Chemical Convertible Bonds - **Issued at the Cycle Peak**: Over half of the chemical convertible bonds were issued during the 2020 - 2021 chemical bull market, often at the end or after the bull market. This leads to high conversion prices, difficult price - downward revisions, and concerns about credit risks. Bonds issued at the cycle bottom also have their own disadvantages [16] - **Mostly Small - cap Bonds and Small - market - value Targets**: Chemical convertible bonds are mostly small - cap bonds under 1 billion yuan. Small - cap and high - rated bonds are more likely to become bull bonds due to factors such as the company's solvency, institutional investment preferences, and market conditions [17] - **Low Institutional Attention on Underlying Stocks**: The proportion of chemical stocks and convertible bonds in the overall public fund net worth is relatively low, indicating weak short - selling power and accumulating long - buying factors [20] - **Rapid and Short - lived Market**: For chemical targets with strong cyclical characteristics, the market is often rapid and short - lived. Convertible bonds in this category are cautious about forced redemptions to avoid losing debt - conversion opportunities [26] - **Positive Debt - conversion Measures**: Many bonds issued during the 200 - 2021 bull market are now approaching the put - back period, so chemical companies are more active in debt - conversion. "Downward revision" is a powerful debt - conversion tool for near - maturity convertible bonds [27] 2. How to Seize the Opportunities of Expectation Differences in Chemical Convertible Bonds - **From the Perspective of the Sector**: The chemical sector has low institutional attention, large expectation differences, and potential for excess returns. It is difficult to make sector - wide allocations due to product differentiation and small single - bond scale. Many conservative funds are restricted from participating [29] - **From the Perspective of Convertible Bond Characteristics**: Below 130 yuan, the bonds rely on the "willingness to promote conversion", and the "reason for the rise" is crucial. Above 130 yuan, they depend on the alpha of the underlying stock and the capital structure, and the non - forced redemption and reduction of the convertible bond balance can open up the upward price space [31] - **From the Fundamental Perspective**: The common differences in chemical companies are "sustainability, amplitude, and performance realization". The reasons include concerns about downstream acceptance of price increases and the potential restart of idle production lines. Currently, the market is in the first stage, and the third - quarter report and spot prices are important references [35] 3. Tracking Ideas at Present - **Low - valued Underlying Stocks + "Asymmetry" of Convertible Bonds**: This is a high - probability choice. For companies with losses or small profits in the 2024 annual report, PB(LF) is used for measurement; for companies with normal profits, PE quantiles are used. Attention should be paid to market liquidity and cycle bottom judgment [39] - **Low - inventory Varieties**: Varieties with low inventory are more likely to increase in price when affected by supply or demand changes. Some chemical convertible bond companies' products such as viscose filament, silicone DMC, etc., have relatively low inventory and high operating rates. Attention should be paid to subsequent catalysts [42] - **Layout in Growth Sectors**: With the emergence of new downstream industrial trends, many chemical companies are actively deploying new products, which can bring opportunities for "valuation expansion" and new demand. Attention should be paid to technological breakthroughs and performance realization [44] - **Select Targets with Bargaining Power**: Companies with simple main businesses and good industry structures, as well as those with technological or industrial - chain advantages, are more likely to benefit from price increases and cost advantages [45] - **Seek the Bottom - position Attributes of Large - cap Convertible Bonds of Leading Blue - chip Stocks**: In 2025, the scale of financial bonds has shrunk significantly, while the participation in convertible bond assets has increased. Funds are looking for large - scale, low - risk convertible bonds as bottom - position assets [48] - **Emphasize the Elasticity of Small - market - value and Small - cap Bonds**: The "shell resource value" has become prominent. Small - cap convertible bonds can bring good returns in a trending market, but their performance is affected by factors such as market liquidity, credit risks, and economic expectations [49]

Market Overview - The market continues to operate in an upward trend, with the core observation variable being whether the market's profit-making effect can be sustained. As long as the profit-making effect is positive, incremental capital is expected to continue entering the market. Currently, the WIND All A trend line is around 5400 points, with a profit-making effect value of 4.09%, which is significantly positive. Even in the face of short-term fluctuations, it is recommended to hold patiently or increase positions on dips [1][3][8].

The net profit gap strategy has an excess benchmark of -1.68% this week, with a cumulative absolute return of 35.72% for the year [1][9][13]. Sector Recommendations - In terms of industry allocation, the mid-term perspective continues to recommend sectors that are experiencing a turnaround, including Hong Kong innovative drugs, Hong Kong securities, and Hang Seng consumption. The upward trend remains intact. The TWO BETA model continues to recommend the technology sector, focusing on military industry, AI applications, and solid-state batteries. Overall, in the upward trend, attention should be paid to high-elasticity sectors such as brokerages and technology [2][3][8]. Valuation Indicators - The overall PE of the WIND All A index is around the 70th percentile, indicating a medium level, while the PB is around the 30th percentile, indicating a relatively low level. Based on short-term trend assessments, the absolute return products with WIND All A as the stock allocation subject are recommended to have an 80% position [4][6]. Market Dynamics - The timing system signals show that the distance between the 20-day and 120-day moving averages continues to expand, with the latest data showing the 20-day line at 5437 and the 120-day line at 5168 points. The difference between the two lines has increased from 4.04% last week to 5.21%, with an absolute value significantly greater than 3%. The market continues to operate in an upward trend [3][8].
