Group 1 - Previous rating results indicated a long-term credit rating of "AA+" for the company and "AA+" for the Huayou convertible bonds, with a stable outlook [1][2]. - The current rating results remain unchanged, with the company and its convertible bonds both rated "AA+" and a stable outlook [2]. - The tracking rating was conducted by United Ratings based on a comprehensive analysis of the company's operational status and industry conditions [2].

Core Viewpoint - The extension of the cobalt export ban in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is expected to significantly impact the cobalt market, leading to supply shortages and potential price increases, with companies like Huayou Cobalt and Hanrui Cobalt seeing substantial stock price gains as a result [1][2]. Supply and Demand Overview - DRC's cobalt production in 2024 is projected at 220,000 tons, accounting for 75.9% of global supply, with a monthly export of 18,000 tons. If the export ban is extended to six months, it could reduce exports by 108,000 tons, which is equivalent to 84% of China's cobalt demand for 2024 [1]. - China's cobalt supply is expected to decrease by 38% to 104,000 tons, while demand will slightly increase by 2.3% to 131,000 tons, resulting in a shift from a surplus of 42,000 tons to a shortage of 27,000 tons [1]. Industry Chain Impact - **Upstream Mining**: Non-DRC production is becoming a scarce asset. Huayou Cobalt's Indonesian capacity of 30,000 tons is expected to generate 5 billion yuan in revenue by 2025, despite being 10% more expensive than DRC production [2]. - **Midstream Smelting**: Companies like Greeenmei and Zhongwei Co. are adapting their raw material sources to reduce costs and mitigate risks associated with DRC's export policies [3]. - **Downstream Demand**: The electric vehicle sector is increasing cobalt procurement by 50% year-on-year, while the 3C battery sector is expected to see an 8% increase in cobalt demand, indicating differing responses to market conditions [4]. Investment Landscape - Focus on non-DRC production and recycling sectors is recommended. Companies like Huayou Cobalt and Liqin Resources are positioned to benefit from reduced export risks, while recycling firms like Greenmei are expected to see a 120% increase in cobalt recovery by 2025 [5][6]. - The performance elasticity of companies is linked to their ability to increase non-DRC production, with a 10% increase in Indonesian capacity potentially raising profit margins by 3-5% [6]. Conclusion - The cobalt market is experiencing a short-term supply contraction due to administrative interventions, with a dual strategy recommended for investors: short-term trading opportunities in non-DRC production and long-term investments in cobalt recycling and low-cobalt battery technologies [7].

Summary of Conference Call on Cobalt Industry Industry Overview - The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the largest cobalt supplier globally, contributing 76% of the world's cobalt supply in 2024 and expected to provide approximately 300,000 tons in 2025, with over 70% from DRC [3][4] - DRC's export restrictions are causing significant disruptions in global supply, potentially shifting the cobalt market from surplus to a balanced state in 2025 [1][4] Key Points and Arguments - DRC's export restrictions could impact about one-third of the annual supply if they last for four months, likely leading to an increase in cobalt prices [1][3] - The introduction of steel policies has led to a revaluation of cobalt-related stocks, with a focus on DRC's export policy changes and potential supply-demand mismatches that could trigger a second price surge [1][5] - The DRC government may extend export restrictions or implement quota controls to elevate prices and increase tax revenue, which will have lasting effects on the market [1][6] - Domestic companies show significant inventory disparities, with many lacking strong stocking intentions during low-price periods, leading to rapid inventory depletion and increased market tension, which is expected to drive prices higher [1][7] - Indonesia's cobalt production is limited and cannot significantly fill the domestic supply gap, exacerbating the situation as DRC's exports remain constrained [1][8] Price Projections - Current cobalt prices are around 240,000 CNY, with expectations to rise to 300,000-350,000 CNY due to tight supply conditions [1][8] Notable Companies and Investment Opportunities - Huayou Cobalt and Lican Resources are highlighted as companies benefiting from cobalt price fluctuations, with relatively low valuations [3][9] - Luoyang Molybdenum Co. is expected to see significant profit increases from rising cobalt prices, with projections indicating a potential profit increase of 2 billion CNY for every 50,000 CNY rise in cobalt prices [3][12] - The company anticipates achieving copper and cobalt production close to the upper limits of its guidance for 2025, with significant cost control measures in place [10][11] Market Dynamics - The market is expected to experience tightening conditions, which will likely push prices further upward [7][8] - The recent steel policy changes and supply-demand mismatches are critical factors to monitor for future price movements [5][6] Conclusion - The cobalt market is undergoing significant changes due to DRC's export policies and domestic inventory levels, with potential for price increases and investment opportunities in key companies like Huayou Cobalt, Lican Resources, and Luoyang Molybdenum Co.
