Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Industry Overview - The coal industry is experiencing a "anti-involution" policy aimed at regulating production levels, with national coal output expected to remain around 1 billion tons in 2025 to curb overproduction and maintain market order [1][2] - The overall coal supply is projected to decline, with domestic production expected to see slight growth while imports are anticipated to decrease significantly [6][8] Core Insights and Arguments - The National Energy Administration's anti-involution policy mandates inspections and shutdowns of coal mines exceeding 10% overproduction, which has positively influenced market expectations and led to a surge in coal sector stocks [2] - In Q1 and Q2 of 2025, the coal industry faced significant downward pressure, prompting some companies to increase production to offset falling prices, which worsened market competition [2] - Electricity consumption growth slowed in early 2025 but began to recover in April, with expectations that annual growth will align with GDP growth at around 5% [9] - The prices of thermal coal and coking coal have risen since late June, indicating a recovery in the coal sector, driven by strong downstream steel demand and lower-than-expected supply due to environmental regulations [11] Regional Production Insights - In April 2025, national coal production was 390 million tons, a decrease of 50 million tons from March, but production rebounded in May and June due to reduced railway freight costs in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang [4] - Inner Mongolia's production is expected to decline due to the lack of approval for capacity increases, while Xinjiang's production may stabilize around 50 million tons per month for the year [4][5] Future Production and Capacity Planning - The production elasticity in Xinjiang is limited, with costs expected to rise again after the end of railway discounts, impacting short-term production [5][7] - New capacity planning in Xinjiang may be influenced by the new leadership's policy direction, which could differ significantly from previous plans [7] Global Supply Trends - Global coal supply is expected to peak in 2025 and begin to decline in 2026, with Australia and Russia's production likely to decrease, and the U.S. restarting coal power plants may reduce export volumes [8] Investment Opportunities and Recommendations - The coal sector, particularly companies benefiting from the anti-involution policy, presents significant investment opportunities. Recommendations include investing in coal ETFs and specific companies such as Jincheng Anthracite, Shanxi Coal, and Shenhua for thermal coal, and Huaiyin Mining and Shanxi Coking Coal for coking coal [16] Additional Considerations - The coal sector's institutional holdings have dropped to a five-year low, indicating a clean chip structure, which may lead to a favorable market environment for future investments [12][15] - The recent recovery in the cyclical commodities market reflects increased market confidence, driven by policy support for infrastructure projects [13][14]

Core Viewpoint - The coal supply growth rate is declining but remains high, while demand is weak, particularly in the power sector. The chemical sector shows better demand. Coal prices have significantly decreased, and stable long-term contract prices are expected. Policy expectations are increasing due to weak supply-demand fundamentals, with a need for production cuts to stabilize coal prices [1][4]. Supply - Domestic coal production continues to grow, but the growth rate has decreased. From January to May 2025, the total raw coal production reached 1.985 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.0%. In May alone, production was 403 million tons, up 4.2% year-on-year [2]. - Coal imports have slightly decreased, with a total of 189 million tons imported from January to May, down 7.9% year-on-year. In May, imports were 36.04 million tons, a decrease of 17.8% year-on-year [2]. - The transportation of coal from Xinjiang has declined, with a total of 22.01 million tons transported by rail from January to March 2025. In April, policies were introduced to reduce transportation costs, alleviating pressure on coal transportation [2]. Demand - Coal consumption has shown signs of weakness but remains resilient overall. From January to April 2025, total coal consumption was approximately 1.66 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%. The chemical industry experienced the fastest growth, consuming 140 million tons, up 10.8% year-on-year [3]. - The steel industry consumed 230 million tons, a 2.8% increase year-on-year, while the building materials sector saw a decline of 1.9% with 140 million tons consumed. The power sector experienced a significant drop, consuming 940 million tons, down 2.7% year-on-year [3]. Price - The average prices of various coal types have decreased. From January to May, the average prices for thermal coal, coking coal, and anthracite were 740.0, 1406.5, and 898.4 yuan per ton, respectively, representing year-on-year declines of 20.5%, 38.7%, and 7.1% [4]. - The long-term contract price for Qinhuangdao 5500 kcal thermal coal decreased from 693 yuan per ton at the beginning of the year to 669 yuan per ton in June. It is expected that long-term contract prices will stabilize as spot prices gradually stabilize [4]. Policy - The company anticipates that policy measures will be implemented based on historical experiences, with expectations for effective outcomes. The company has gained experience from previous supply-side structural reforms and energy production increases to address coal overcapacity and supply tightness [4]. - To stabilize coal prices, it is predicted that production must be reduced by at least 57 million tons from June to December, even under optimistic demand scenarios. In neutral and pessimistic demand scenarios, reductions of 81 million tons and 106 million tons are required, respectively [4].

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" and is maintained [10] Core Viewpoints - The recent rebound in coking coal futures is attributed to rumors of increased resource taxes in Mongolia, heightened expectations of supply contraction, and technical corrections following previous declines. However, the overall supply-demand situation for coking coal has not materially improved, indicating that the current rebound may be temporary and driven by market sentiment [2][7] - Short-term fluctuations in coking coal futures may still have room for oscillation and rebound, but medium-term demand remains under pressure due to seasonal factors. Long-term focus should be on demand policies and the rebalancing of coking coal supply and demand [2][7] Summary by Sections Weekly Tracking Summary - The coal index (Yangtze) decreased by 0.35%, underperforming the CSI 300 index by 1.23 percentage points. The thermal coal market price as of June 6 was 609 RMB/ton, down by 2 RMB/ton week-on-week. The main coking coal price at Jingtang Port remained stable at 1270 RMB/ton [6][20] - Coking coal futures saw a week-on-week increase of 7.2% to 779 RMB/ton, driven by supply contraction expectations and technical corrections [2][7] Coking Coal Supply and Demand - As of June 5, the daily coal consumption across 25 provinces was 485.4 million tons, a week-on-week increase of 7.5%.
