开源证券则详细分析认为，煤炭曾经是传统的周期股无疑，但随着地缘政治、双碳政策、煤电盈利平衡 等多因素的影响下，煤炭的周期属性弱化已是事实，煤炭已体现出红利和周期的双重属性。在经济偏弱 和市场整体收益率下行的背景下，煤炭作为高股息红利的代表，仍旧是市场最为认可的价值资产；如政 策助力和市场调节致使供需短期错配，煤炭股随着煤价的变动仍有望凸显出周期属性。 【环球网财经综合报道】近日，国家能源局出台指导意见推进煤炭与新能源融合发展，提出加快发展煤 炭矿区光伏风电产业，推动矿区用能清洁替代，建设一批清洁低碳矿区。 银河期货近日发文认为，四季度历来是煤矿事故多发高发期，加之临近一年收官之际，各地区往往都会 加强煤矿安全监管。查超产、安全、环保等因素制约了煤炭产量释放，预计11-12月焦煤产量同比下 降，焦煤产量难以回补；同时到11月中下旬，预计原料冬储也逐步启动，焦煤底部支撑较强。 据此开源证券判断认为煤炭周期与红利双重属性，有望让煤炭成为市场资金最优先的配置资产。中信证 券也提出在政策、煤价、业绩预期均有改善的背景下，板块反弹具备持续性。 ...

煤价判断：动力煤价格将经历四个目标阶段，炼焦煤价格将优先联动修复与动力煤比值 动力煤属于政策煤种，该行判断价格上行将经历"修复央企长协、修复地方长协、达到煤电盈利均分 线、上穿且接近电厂报表盈亏平衡线"四个过程。现货修复第一和第二目标至长协价格(央企长协670元 和地方长协700元)之上，实际是大宗商品双轨制运行机制下的必选结果，长协本身作为优惠品种而与现 货形成倒挂，会促使下游用户优先购买现货而暂缓购买长协，从而驱动现货的价格修复。第三目标达 到"煤和火电企业"盈利均分位置(测算2025年是750元左右)，是政策修复煤价目标的理想结果。第三目 标理想价格之后的上穿过程属于惯性结果，因为政策的转向不是手术刀那么精准，必然会有此过程，对 于煤价上穿是否有顶部极值，则预测是电厂报表盈亏平衡线860元，区间为800-860元。炼焦煤属于市场 化煤种，该行判断价格更多由供需基本面决定，对于其目标价格可通过"炼焦煤与动力煤价格的比值"作 为参考，京唐港主焦煤现货与秦港动力煤的现货比值为2.4倍，则与动力煤第一、第二、第三、第四目 标对应的炼焦煤目标价分别为1608元、1680元、1800元、1920-2064元。焦煤期 ...
