Investment Rating - The industry rating is "Outperform the Market" (maintained rating) [2] Core Insights - The current environment in the coal industry is characterized by high operating rates leading to "involution" competition, rather than the previous "supply-side" overcapacity scenario. The focus should be on controlling operating rates to mitigate this competition [1][27] - In 2016, national coal production capacity was approximately 5.73 billion tons, with a production of 3.41 billion tons, indicating low capacity utilization. By 2022, production capacity exceeded 4.4 billion tons, with production reaching 4.55 billion tons, and is projected to reach 4.76 billion tons by 2024, suggesting excessively high operating rates [1][19] Summary by Sections 1. Historical Context - The coal supply-side reform initiated in 2015 aimed to eliminate around 500 million tons of capacity over 3 to 5 years, with significant reductions in the number of coal mines and improvements in safety and market pricing mechanisms [8][9][10] 2. Current Industry Dynamics - The coal industry is currently facing a situation where high operating rates are leading to price competition, which is different from the previous overcapacity issues. The focus should be on managing these operating rates to stabilize the market [1][27] 3. Future Outlook - The report suggests that unlike the petrochemical industry, which may focus on eliminating refining capacity, the coal industry should prioritize controlling operating rates to address the current competitive pressures [1][27]
