Core Viewpoint - The decline in coal prices is in line with expectations, and the sector shows strong resilience, indicating that there is no need for concern regarding coal prices. The off-peak season may not be as weak as anticipated, and investment in coal stocks should focus on alpha opportunities rather than beta, with high dividends and transformation prospects being key themes throughout the year [1][3]. Investment Highlights - The significant drop in the CCTD reference price for Q5500 coal to 900 RMB/ton from 1020 RMB/ton reflects a decrease of 120 RMB, aligning with the government's price control measures. The coal sector experienced a slight adjustment, with CS coal down by 1.25%, showing relative resilience compared to the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 index [2]. - The government’s control over coal prices, alongside measures such as increased production and port adjustments, is expected to stabilize the coal market. Anticipation of the upcoming Two Sessions and the 20th National Congress later in the year suggests that supply capacity will be maintained, supporting coal prices. Additionally, the benchmark price for Indonesian thermal coal rose to 188.4 USD/ton, which translates to a domestic cost exceeding 1237 RMB/ton, likely increasing demand for domestic coal [2]. - In 2022, investment in coal stocks should not overly focus on coal prices and government controls. Instead, identifying alpha opportunities through high dividends and transformation potential is crucial. The long-term contract price for Qinhuangdao Q5500 coal in February was 725 RMB/ton, indicating a significant year-on-year increase. This suggests a sustainable optimization of capital expenditure, cash flow, and dividends, with new dividend plans expected following the annual reports in March [3]. Investment Recommendations - The coal sector is currently at a perceived bottom with low valuations. With the expected increase in long-term contract prices for thermal coal and coking coal, high-quality resource companies are seen as having long-term value, while transformation-focused companies offer growth potential. The sector is poised for valuation improvement [4]. - Recommended investment themes include high dividends, green energy transformation, and growth-oriented coal chemical companies. Specific recommendations include China Shenhua, Jingyuan Coal Electricity, Electric Power Investment Energy, Yanzhou Coal, China Xuyang Group, and Baofeng Energy. Additionally, high-quality resource companies such as Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry, Huaibei Mining, China Coal Energy, Shanxi Coking Coal, Lu'an Environmental Energy, Lanhua Sci-Tech, Panjiang Coal, and Pingmei Shenma are also recommended [4].
