1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report Core View - For industrial silicon, the current fundamentals are average, with the futures market maintaining a volatile trend. Starting from the end of October, the supply - demand situation may improve. In the long - term, if there are policy incentives, the market may rise. For polysilicon, the current supply - demand fundamentals are average with high inventory pressure. In the long - term, it is suitable to buy on dips as policies are expected to be introduced [3][7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Industrial Silicon Market Analysis - On October 27, 2025, the industrial silicon futures price fluctuated. The main contract 2601 opened at 8,950 yuan/ton and closed at 8,965 yuan/ton, a change of (-15) yuan/ton or (-0.17)% from the previous settlement.

Currently, the fundamentals are average, and the futures market maintains a volatile trend. Starting from the end of October, the Southwest will start to reduce production, and the supply - demand pattern may improve. The industrial silicon market is mainly affected by the overall commodity sentiment and policy news [3]. - Unilateral: Short - term range operation, and it is advisable to go long on the dry - season contracts on dips. There are no strategies for inter - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options [3].

Core Viewpoint - In September, industrial profits showed a weak performance compared to previous years when adjusted for low base effects, with current cost rates remaining at historically high levels [2][8]. Overall Performance - In September, industrial profits continued to rise due to short-term factors such as expenses, with a year-on-year increase of 2.6 percentage points to 22.5% under low base conditions. However, on a two-year compound basis, profit growth fell by 5.3 percentage points to -5.9%, and the month-on-month profit increase was only 1.1%, significantly lower than the same period last year (11.3%) [2][8]. - The profit margin increased year-on-year, primarily driven by short-term indicators like expense ratios, which rose by 9.5 percentage points to 11.6% [2][8]. Revenue Analysis - In September, industrial revenue improved, with nominal revenue rising due to marginal improvements in the Producer Price Index (PPI). The actual revenue growth rate, adjusted for price changes, increased by 0.2 percentage points to 5.4%, contributing an additional 0.3 percentage points to the year-on-year profit growth [2][16]. - Revenue growth varied across industrial chains, with the consumer chain showing a notable increase of 2.2 percentage points to 8.1%, while the petrochemical and metallurgy chains also saw improvements [2][16]. Cost Structure - Industrial enterprises faced increasing cost pressures in September, with cost rates for the metallurgy and consumer chains at historically high levels, indicating that the effects of anti-involution policies are yet to be realized. The overall cost rate for industrial enterprises was 85.4%, remaining relatively high compared to previous years [3][22]. - The cost contribution to year-on-year profit growth decreased by 0.3 percentage points to -3.6% [3][22]. Industry Insights - Industries with significant profit improvements were primarily influenced by revenue and expenses, despite ongoing cost pressures. Notable profit recoveries were observed in the computer communication and automotive sectors, contributing 3.5 and 2.8 percentage points to overall profit, respectively [3][33]. - Other sectors such as general equipment, non-metallic products, and rubber and plastics also contributed positively to profit growth, while the beverage industry saw a significant decline in profit growth [3][33]. Future Outlook - Industrial enterprises are expected to continue facing substantial cost pressures, with the effectiveness of anti-involution policies still to be seen.
