Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the pitfalls of relying solely on Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratios for investment decisions, particularly in industry indices, and emphasizes the importance of combining PE with Price-to-Book (PB) ratios for more reliable investment timing and efficiency [5][6][29]. Group 1: PE Ratio Analysis - PE ratios can be misleading, especially in industry indices where profits are highly synchronized, leading to exaggerated fluctuations in PE during economic cycles [8][9]. - In broad indices, PE has more reference value due to smoother profit distributions, while in industry indices, profit volatility can distort the perceived value [8][9]. - The consumption electronics sector exemplifies the "profit decline, valuation distortion, profit recovery" cycle, illustrating how PE can mislead investors [10][23]. Group 2: Stages of PE Fluctuation - The first stage is the decline phase, where prices drop and PE decreases, creating an illusion of value, often leading to premature investments [13][15]. - The second stage is the bottoming phase, characterized by price stabilization and rising PE, which may deter investors despite being a potential entry point [19]. - The third stage is the reversal phase, where prices rise and PE stabilizes or decreases, indicating a "cheaper as it rises" scenario, as seen in the consumption electronics sector in 2024 [21][23]. Group 3: Importance of PB Ratio - PB ratio serves as a more stable indicator compared to PE, as it reflects the company's net asset value rather than fluctuating profits, making it a useful tool for assessing value during volatile periods [25][27]. - The combination of PE and PB ratios creates a "valuation temperature" that provides a more accurate assessment of an index's value, especially in cyclical industries [27]. - The methodology adjusts the weight of PE and PB based on the industry cycle, enhancing the reliability of the valuation approach [27]. Group 4: Conclusion - Investors should be cautious of relying solely on PE ratios, as they can create illusions of value during profit fluctuations. A multi-faceted approach using both PE and PB is recommended for a clearer understanding of true market value [29].

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" and maintained [9] Core Viewpoints - The report suggests that due to low port inventories and the ongoing price inversion between pit and port coal, the space for coal price adjustments post the double festival is limited. If a double La Niña occurs, coal prices in Q4 2025 are expected to exceed expectations. The current low coal congestion levels and the PB and ROE of elastic thermal coal and coking coal companies are at the lower third percentile since 2016, indicating signs of a cycle bottom. The bottom coal price in Q2 2025 is expected to be near the 90th percentile of the complete cost line, which may serve as a relative bottom for coal prices in the next 2-3 years, with a high probability of upward fluctuations in the future [2][7][6]. Summary by Sections Market Performance - The coal index (Yangtze) fell by 1.30%, underperforming the CSI 300 index by 2.37 percentage points, ranking 19th out of 32 industries. The thermal coal market price as of September 26 was 701 RMB/ton, down by 3 RMB/ton week-on-week. The coking coal price at Jing Tang Port was 1750 RMB/ton, up by 80 RMB/ton week-on-week [6][15]. Supply and Demand Analysis - As of September 25, the daily coal consumption in 25 provinces was 511.6 million tons, a decrease of 9.0% week-on-week and 11.5% year-on-year. The inventory of power plants was 126 million tons, with an available days increase of 2.6 days week-on-week. The port inventory at the northern three ports was 11.84 million tons, down by 1.82% week-on-week, indicating a healthy inventory level despite seasonal demand fluctuations [15][34][37]. Price Trends - The report highlights that the current coal price is supported by the low inventory levels and the price inversion between pit and port coal. The report anticipates that if the double La Niña phenomenon occurs, it could lead to a significant increase in coal prices in Q4 2025, driven by higher daily consumption during a potential cold winter [7][6][34]. Recommendations - The report recommends focusing on cyclical growth stocks such as Yanzhou Coal Mining Company and China Power Investment Corporation. It also suggests price elastic stocks like Lu'an Environmental Energy, Jinko Coal Industry, and Huayang Co., Ltd. Additionally, growth-value stocks like Xinji Energy are worth attention [7][6].
