1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The foundation of economic recovery needs to be consolidated, and domestic demand restoration still requires policy support. Attention should be paid to the policy signals released by the Politburo meeting in July [1]. - The property market shows a weak performance, and the supply - demand sides are both weak. In the second half of the year, more active property - easing policies may be needed to release the demand for improved housing [2][3]. - The commodity futures market is generally rising, with black - series, new - energy materials, and building materials leading the gains. The "anti - involution" policy strengthens the supply - side contraction expectation and drives the industry valuation repair [7][106]. 3.

Summary of the Petrochemical Industry Conference Call Industry Overview - The Chinese petrochemical industry is undergoing a supply-side contraction, with national policies tightening the approval of ethylene projects and limiting new refining capacity through capacity replacement, aiming to eliminate outdated capacity and encourage the application of new technologies, similar to OPEC's production cuts in the oil market [1][2] - The development of new energy vehicles and natural gas heavy trucks has led to a turning point in gasoline and diesel demand, exacerbating the supply-demand imbalance in the petrochemical industry [1][2] - U.S. sanctions on Shandong ports have also impacted local refinery operating rates, currently around 50% [1][2] Core Insights and Arguments - Weak terminal demand in the petrochemical industry has made it difficult for chemical prices to effectively transmit to downstream consumer markets, resulting in petrochemical product gross margins nearing historical lows of approximately 20%, affecting the profitability of refining and downstream chemical companies [1][4] - Traditional petrochemical companies such as Huajin Co., Sinopec, and Shanghai Petrochemical have relatively stable profitability, with Huajin Co. benefiting from the group's Shatamei refining project, currently valued at a PB ratio of about 0.7 [1][5] - Among private refining companies like Hengli, Rongsheng, Dongfang Shenghong, and Hengyi, Hengli stands out, achieving an annual net profit of over 6 billion even in the current market environment, with a PB ratio of about 1.7, indicating greater earnings elasticity when market conditions improve [1][5] Important but Overlooked Content - Significant policy changes in the petrochemical industry have occurred in recent years, including carbon neutrality and peak carbon policies, which require refining capacity not to exceed 1 billion tons by 2025 and impose strict limits on the scale and energy consumption of ethylene facilities [2] - The upcoming release of specific petrochemical industry documents in August to September is expected to provide further guidance, with companies like Satellite and Baofeng being highlighted for their growth potential [2] - Historical precedents indicate that the petrochemical industry has not been significantly impacted by supply-side reforms, primarily due to the dominance of state-owned enterprises and low levels of external competition until the entry of private enterprises in 2015 [3] - Future conditions for sustained performance in the petrochemical sector include continued policy support, stable market demand growth, and international market factors such as OPEC production cuts affecting supply chains [3]
