中金:预计2026年煤价将呈前低后高走势 全年价格中枢同比持平
智通财经网· 2025-12-19 00:16
Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report indicates that coal prices are expected to show a trend of low first and high later in 2026, with the annual average likely to remain roughly the same as in 2025. Demand is anticipated to be a major drag factor, while supply-side constraints are relatively strong [1] - The coal industry is not experiencing overcapacity. The report attributes the unexpected decline in coal prices this year to excessive production beyond approved capacity, which poses challenges to safety and environmental standards. If supply and demand become excessively loose, there may still be room for policy tightening to regulate supply [2] - Demand for thermal coal is expected to remain at a peak level. The report forecasts that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, green energy may begin to squeeze existing coal power demand, but overall electricity demand is likely to maintain steady growth, with a compound annual growth rate of over 4.5% from 2024 to 2030 [2] Group 2 - The report suggests that while domestic coking coal supply may have limited upward elasticity in 2026, there is potential for increased imports of Mongolian coal, leading to a relatively loose supply-demand situation for coking coal. However, the actual completion of steel production cuts remains uncertain due to policy negotiations [2] - Overall, the report concludes that the supply-demand balance for coking coal in 2026 is expected to be relatively loose, with the increase in Mongolian coal limiting upward price elasticity. Nonetheless, Mongolian coal cannot replace high-quality domestic coking coal, which is expected to remain in a relatively tight supply situation [2]

Investment Rating - The investment rating for the coal industry is "Positive" (maintained) [1] Core Viewpoints - The report emphasizes that coal prices are expected to stabilize, with a long-term upward trend anticipated for both thermal coal and coking coal prices. The recent decline in prices is viewed as a temporary adjustment, with expectations for recovery towards the target price range of 800-860 RMB per ton for thermal coal [3][4][13]. Summary by Sections Industry Overview - The report highlights that as of December 12, the price of Qinhuangdao Q5500 thermal coal was 753 RMB per ton, down 38 RMB from the previous week. The price at Guangzhou Port was 815 RMB per ton, indicating a completion of the previously suggested coal-electricity profit-sharing target of 750 RMB [3][4]. Price Trends - Thermal coal prices have shown a recent decline but are expected to recover due to tightening supply and increasing demand, particularly as the heating season begins and industrial production ramps up towards year-end [4][5]. - Coking coal prices have rebounded significantly, with the price at Jing Tang Port reaching 1630 RMB per ton, up from a low of 1230 RMB in July, marking a 41.5% increase in futures prices [3][4]. Investment Logic - The report outlines a four-step process for the expected price recovery of thermal coal, including the restoration of long-term contracts and achieving a profit-sharing equilibrium between coal and power companies, with a target price of around 750 RMB for 2025 [4][13]. - Coking coal prices are expected to be more influenced by supply and demand fundamentals, with target prices set based on the ratio of coking coal to thermal coal prices [4][13]. Investment Recommendations - The report suggests a dual logic for investing in coal stocks: cyclical elasticity and stable dividends. It identifies four main lines for stock selection: 1. Cyclical logic: Jin Kong Coal Industry, Yanzhou Coal Mining 2. Dividend logic: China Shenhua, Zhongmei Energy 3. Diversified aluminum elasticity: Shenhua Co., Electric Power Investment Energy 4.
