调研报告 | 山西煤焦调研:多数煤矿扭亏为盈,普遍存在节前补库需求
对冲研投· 2025-09-12 12:05
Market Expectations - The market generally believes that coal production in the second half of the year will not exceed that of the first half [4][7]. Demand Side - Inventory levels across the industry chain are currently low, with most coal mines facing no inventory pressure. However, a few mines are experiencing some accumulation due to slower price adjustments [9]. - There is a widespread expectation for pre-holiday inventory replenishment, anticipated to start around September 15-20, which typically increases inventory levels by 5-8 days [4][9]. Supply Situation - Most coal mines are currently operating normally, with only a brief production halt during early September for major events. The "overproduction check" policy has made production more cautious but has not led to significant supply shortages [7][12]. - The profitability of coal mines has improved significantly since June, with most now operating at a profit, although the profit margins remain limited [5][8]. Short-term Outlook - The market is expected to maintain a volatile pattern in the short term, with pre-holiday inventory replenishment providing some support for coal prices. However, prices are unlikely to replicate the significant increases seen earlier due to poor steel margins and no significant supply shortages [11][12]. Long-term Outlook - The coal market is projected to reach a weak balance between supply and demand in the fourth quarter, with reduced volatility. The performance of the terminal steel market will be crucial in determining demand for coking coal [12][13].

Summary of Conference Call on Coal Industry Outlook Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the coal industry, specifically focusing on coking coal and thermal coal prices and market dynamics for 2025 [1][5][6]. Key Points and Arguments - **Government Policies**: The government's regulation of coal prices aims to promote a reasonable recovery of prices and reduce disorderly competition through production control policies. Adjustments will be made based on coal price changes to prevent economic damage from price surges [1][3]. - **Supply and Demand Dynamics**: In the first half of 2025, coking coal supply and demand are expected to be tight, with inventory decreasing. By mid-year, market expectations are anticipated to reverse due to strong steel demand and a decline in domestic production and imports [1][4]. - **Price Recovery Expectations**: Coking coal and thermal coal prices are projected to return to or exceed early-year levels by the end of 2025, driven by ongoing supply constraints and demand recovery [1][5][6]. - **Market Sentiment**: Current market expectations for coal stocks are not fully reflected, with stock prices higher than 2020 levels despite poor earnings in the first half of 2025. This indicates that market pessimism is less severe than in previous downturns [1][8]. - **Investment Timing**: For long-term investors, this is considered a good time to buy coal stocks, particularly coking coal companies, which are less affected by price controls and show greater price elasticity compared to thermal coal [2][10]. Additional Important Insights - **Short-term Focus**: Investors should monitor upcoming mid-year reports and government policy adjustments, as poor earnings could impact stock market performance [1][7]. - **Valuation of Coking Coal Companies**: Coking coal companies are currently valued at historical lows, with a price-to-book (PB) ratio only about 20% away from historical minimums, making them more attractive compared to thermal coal companies [12]. - **Investment Recommendations**: Specific coking coal companies to watch include Lu'an Huanneng, Shenhua Group, Huabei Mining, and Shanxi Coking Coal, all of which have strong potential for profitability and growth [11]. Market Trends and Predictions - **Market Cycles**: Historical patterns suggest that coal stocks do not immediately surge when coal prices rise; significant price increases typically follow clear improvements in earnings [9]. - **Future Outlook**: The current market cycle is expected to resemble previous cycles from 2016-2017 and 2020-2022, with a potential two-year upward trend in coal company profitability [13].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Report Core Views - **Steel**: Tangshan's mild production - limitation policy may not have a significant overall impact. The supply shortage may be compensated by non - restricted areas. The steel price is temporarily stable, with the lower support at the EAF valley - electricity cost. The price upside depends on market sentiment towards the policy. Exports are still high but showing a marginal decline [3]. - **Silicon Iron and Manganese Silicon**: Despite policy uncertainties, the anti - involution logic supports prices. Market sentiment is volatile. The supply is slightly increasing, and inventory is being depleted, indicating resilient supply - demand. However, high industry inventories remain a concern [3]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The sixth round of coke price hikes is expected to be implemented, but downstream replenishment is almost complete. The implementation of over - production inspection policies is uncertain, leading to repeated anti - involution trading. The far - month contracts are favored, but the near - month contracts face pressure. The market is currently in a volatile state [4]. - **Iron Ore**: The anti - involution sentiment is rising again. The iron ore supply is expected to increase in the second half of the year, which will limit price increases. The 01 contract has support and may rise after adjustment [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Futures Market - **Contract Closing Prices**: On August 8, for far - month contracts, RB2601 closed at 3286 yuan/ton (- 0.70%), HC2601 at 3429 yuan/ton (- 0.58%), etc. For near - month contracts, RB2510 closed at 3213 yuan/ton (- 0.71%), HC2510 at 3428 yuan/ton (- 0.55%) [1]. - **Cross - month Spreads**: On August 8, RB2510 - 2601 was - 73 yuan/ton, HC2510 - 2601 was - 1 yuan/ton, etc [1]. - **Spreads/Ratios/Profits**: On August 8, the coil - to - rebar spread was 215 yuan/ton, the rebar - to - ore ratio was 4.07, etc [1]. Spot Market - **Prices**: On August 8, Shanghai rebar was 3330 yuan/ton (- 20 yuan), Shanghai hot - rolled coil was 3440 yuan/ton (unchanged), etc [1]. - **Basis**: On August 8, the HC主力 basis was 12 yuan/ton, the RB主力 basis was 117 yuan/ton, etc [1]. Investment Suggestions - **Steel**: Focus on the EAF valley - electricity cost support. For arbitrage, consider long positions in the 01 coil - to - rebar spread. There are opportunities for partial profit - taking in basis trading [6]. - **Silicon Iron and Manganese Silicon**: Hold long positions in the 01 contract [6]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: Temporarily adopt a wait - and - see approach [6].
