Investment Rating - The industry rating is "Overweight" (maintained) [6] Core Views - Recent price increases in organic silicon intermediates, particularly DMC, are attributed to rising costs of raw materials and supply constraints due to production halts at a major facility in Shandong. This has led to improved profitability for the sector. The supply of organic silicon is expected to remain limited in the medium term, while demand from sectors such as electronics, new energy vehicles, and photovoltaics is anticipated to grow. Additionally, favorable policies in the real estate sector may stabilize demand in traditional areas. The contraction of overseas production capacity is also beneficial for exports of organic silicon, indicating an improvement in the supply-demand dynamics and a potential recovery in industry sentiment [9][28].

The continuous rise in the price of raw material metallic silicon has provided cost support for organic silicon. The supply side is tightening due to the production halt of a major enterprise in Shandong, leading to a temporary supply-demand imbalance. Previously, organic silicon companies faced prolonged low-price conditions, resulting in widespread losses. The current positive interplay between costs and supply has strengthened market pricing sentiment [11][15]. Price Trends of Related Products - The prices of related organic silicon products have followed the upward trend of intermediate prices.
