Report Industry Investment Rating - Industrial silicon: Volatile; Polysilicon: Volatile [1] Core Viewpoints - Industrial silicon prices may have a clearer lower limit, and it is recommended to buy on dips and take profits at high levels. Polysilicon has entered a critical point of policy - fundamental game, and it is advisable to consider short - selling on rallies [3][14][15] Summary by Directory 1. Industrial Silicon/Polysilicon Industry Chain Prices - Industrial silicon Si2601 contract rose 120 yuan/ton to 9220 yuan/ton week - on - week. SMM spot East China oxygen - blown 553 remained flat at 9450 yuan/ton, and Xinjiang 99 rose 50 yuan/ton to 8850 yuan/ton. Polysilicon PS2601 contract fell 3195 yuan/ton to 53215 yuan/ton. The average transaction price of polysilicon N - type re -投料 was flat at 53200 yuan/ton [8][9] 2. Dry Season Production Cuts Materialize, Platform Companies Fall Short of Expectations Again - **Industrial silicon**: Futures main contract fluctuated strongly. Yunnan's开工 decreased by 22 units to 21, Sichuan's by 23 units to 22, while Inner Mongolia and Ningxia each added 1 unit. Southwest furnaces may further limit production in mid - to - late November, with the start - up furnaces in Southwest expected to drop to about 20 by the end of November. Northern production is stable. SMM industrial silicon social inventory decreased by 0.6 million tons week - on - week, and sample factory inventory increased by 0.39 million tons. After updating the balance sheet, a slight inventory build - up in November and a 1 - million - ton inventory reduction in December are expected [10] - **Organic silicon**: Prices fluctuated. Jiangxi Xinghuo's 200,000 - ton plant is expected to resume production on the 31st, Tangshan Sanyou's Phase III plant shut down, Hubei Xingrui's plant is operating at 70% capacity, Xin'an Chemical's plant is under maintenance, Shandong Dongyue's Phase III plant shut down, and Yunnan Energy Investment's plant is expected to resume production on the 4th. The overall enterprise start - up rate was 72.41%, weekly output was 47,900 tons (up 5.51% week - on - week), and inventory was 43,500 tons (down 1.36% week - on - week). Prices are expected to fluctuate [10][11] - **Polysilicon**: Futures main contract dropped significantly. Spot prices are under pressure. Leading first - tier manufacturers' dense re -投料 prices are above 51 - 53 yuan/kg, second - and third - tier manufacturers' prices are 47 - 50 yuan/kg, and low - quality supplies' prices are weakening. Granular material prices are 50 - 51 yuan/kg. November's production is expected to drop to 115,000 tons. As of November 6th, factory inventory was 259,000 tons (down 0.2 million tons week - on - week). In November, it enters the critical point of policy - fundamental game, and the fundamentals are more severe than in October. If platform companies underperform again, spot prices may fall [11] - **Silicon wafers**: Prices declined. M10 wafers' mainstream price is 1.35 yuan/piece, with some dropping to 1.33 yuan/piece; G12R wafers' mainstream price is 1.35 yuan/piece, with low - price transactions at 1.30 - 1.33 yuan/piece; G12 wafers' mainstream price dropped to 1.65 - 1.68 yuan/piece. November's production is expected to be 57.66GW, a decrease of 2.99GW from October. As of November 6th, inventory was 17.52GW (down 1.41GW week - on - week). The supply - demand and inventory situation in the silicon wafer segment is controllable, but it is under pressure due to the battery segment [12] - **Battery cells**: Prices continued to fall. Indian demand shifted to Southeast Asian production bases, and M10 battery cells' mainstream price dropped to 0.305 yuan/watt. Domestic demand also declined, and G21R and G12 battery cells' mainstream prices dropped to 0.28 and 0.30 yuan/watt. As of November 3rd, export factory inventory was 3.85GW (down 2.17GW week - on - week). November's production is expected to be 57.4GW. With weakening domestic and foreign demand, prices may decline further [12] - **Components**: Prices were basically stable. Centralized components mainly executed previous orders, with mainstream delivery prices at 0.64 - 0.70 yuan/watt; distributed project large - customer delivery prices were 0.66 - 0.70 yuan/watt. Some centralized procurement projects had demand for high - power components above 700W, and leading component manufacturers raised quotes for such components by 0.04 - 0.06 yuan/watt to 0.72 - 0.75 yuan/watt. Demand declined significantly, and some enterprises reported orders falling short of expectations. November's domestic production is expected to be 44.4GW (down 1GW month - on - month). There are concerns about a significant drop in December's production. As of November 3rd, finished - product inventory was 31.2GW (down 0.6GW week - on - week). Component enterprises are responding to the guiding prices, but actual transaction prices need attention [13] 3. Investment Recommendations - **Industrial silicon**: After previous hedging, short - term price drops are unlikely to cause production cuts. Prices need to break through 10,000 yuan/ton to bring significant supply increases. It is recommended to buy on dips and take profits at high levels [14] - **Polysilicon**: It has entered the critical point of policy - fundamental game, and the fundamentals are more severe. If platform companies underperform again, spot prices may fall. It is advisable to consider short - selling on rallies [15] 4. Hot News Compilation - In September 2025, the national photovoltaic power generation utilization rate was 95%, and the January - September utilization rate was also 95% [16] - A Chinese company invested $85 million to build a factory in Angola to process quartz ore into metallic silicon, with a monthly production capacity of 1,000 tons per electric furnace.
